Has Elon Musk fathered over 100 children?

LOS ANGELES: A journalist from The Atlantic has claimed that Tesla and X owner Elon Musk may have fathered more than 100 children.

Speaking on the ‘Sanity’ podcast, Elizabeth Bruenig said Musk officially has 14 known children. However, she mentioned that sources speaking to The Wall Street Journal suggested the actual number could be much higher.

“I have heard estimates of 100 or more,” Bruenig said. She added that so far, Musk has had children with four women, possibly five, including influencer Ashley St. Clair, reported The Daily Mail.

Podcast co-host Alisyn Camerota also alleged that Elon Musk asks the mothers of his children to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). “He is very lawyered up and sues women who break these agreements,” Camerota added.

Earlier this month, MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair claimed Musk offered her $15 million and $100,000 monthly to stay silent about their son, Romulus. St. Clair said Musk’s associate Jared Birchall informed her that similar agreements had been signed by other mothers, including pop star Grimes and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.

St. Clair further revealed that Musk insisted she deliver the baby via caesarean section, believing it would lead to a larger brain. He also reportedly opposed circumcision, a practice important to St. Clair’s Jewish faith. She refused both demands but agreed to leave Musk’s name off the birth certificate.

Camerota criticised Musk’s behaviour, questioning how it aligns with the family values often promoted by the Republican Party. “He refuses to acknowledge some of his children and keeps his name off birth certificates,” she said.

The Wall Street Journal earlier reported that Musk is trying to build a large family to counter a feared population decline. Musk dismissed the report, calling the newspaper worse than celebrity tabloid TMZ.

Publicly, Musk is known to have six children with his former wife Justine Musk, three with singer Grimes, four with Shivon Zilis, and one with Ashley St. Clair.
