Elon Musk’s Growing Controversy Over Secret Children
Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is no stranger to headlines—but a new report from The New York Times has sparked fresh controversy. Conservative commentator Ashley St. Clair has made explosive allegations, claiming Musk secretly fathered a child with a Japanese pop star and even offered his sperm to other women.
These claims add to Musk’s already complicated personal life, where he is publicly known to have at least 14 children with four different women. But could there be more offspring that the world doesn’t know about?
The Bombshell Allegations: Musk’s Secret Child with a Japanese Pop Star
Ashley St. Clair, a 26-year-old who claims to share a son named Romulus with Musk, dropped shocking revelations in the NYT report. According to her, Musk admitted to fathering children around the world—including one with a famous Japanese pop star.
St. Clair alleges that Musk framed his actions as “altruistic,” driven by his concerns over declining birth rates.
“He made it seem like it was just his altruism, and he believed these people should just have children,” she told The New York Times.
Key Claims from the Report:
- Musk allegedly told St. Clair he had children in multiple countries.
- He reportedly provided sperm to an unidentified woman who requested it.
- The Japanese pop star’s identity remains undisclosed, raising speculation.
Musk’s History of Fathering Children: How Many Kids Does He Really Have?
Public records show Musk has at least 14 children with four women:
- Justine Musk (first wife) – 6 children.
- Grimes (musician) – 3 children.
- Shivon Zilis (Neuralink executive) – 2 children via IVF.
- Ashley St. Clair – Claims 1 child (Romulus).
However, a Wall Street Journal report from April 2025 suggested the actual number could be higher, with Musk allegedly telling associates that he has “many more children” than publicly known.
The Sperm Donation Claims: Did Japanese Officials Approach Musk?
One of the most bizarre details in the report involves Musk allegedly being approached by Japanese officials to donate sperm for a high-profile woman.
According to St. Clair, Musk texted her:
“They want me to be a sperm donor. No romance or anything, just sperm.” (The Independent)
This has led to wild speculation online:
- Was this part of a government-backed initiative to boost birth rates?
- Who was the intended recipient—a celebrity, politician, or someone else?
Secrecy and Disappearing Messages: Musk’s Alleged Attempt to Hide Paternity
St. Clair claims that when she gave birth to their alleged son in September 2024, Musk insisted on extreme secrecy.
Key Details:
- Musk allegedly communicated via Signal’s disappearing messages to avoid records.
- She was reportedly told to pretend not to know him at public events, including a Mar-a-Lago celebration for Donald Trump’s election victory.
- No official acknowledgment of the child has been made by Musk or his companies.
Drug Use Allegations: Musk’s Reported Ketamine and Psychedelics Habit
The NYT report also delves into Musk’s alleged drug use during his time working with Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Shocking Claims:
- Excessive ketamine use, reportedly affecting his bladder.
- Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms in social settings.
- A daily pill organizer containing around 20 different medications.
While Musk has previously admitted to using ketamine for depression, these new claims suggest much heavier usage.
Public and Media Reaction: Will Musk Respond?
The report has ignited fierce debate:
✅ Supporters argue these are unverified claims meant to smear Musk.
❌ Critics demand transparency, questioning his ethics and personal conduct.
So far, Musk has not publicly addressed the allegations. Will he break his silence, or will this story fade like previous scandals?
Conclusion: What’s Next in This Bizarre Saga?
With Musk’s history of controversial behavior, these allegations—whether true or not—add another layer to his already unpredictable public image. Key questions remain:
- Will DNA tests or legal actions confirm these claims?
- How will this affect Musk’s businesses and reputation?
- Are there more hidden children yet to be revealed?
One thing is certain: Elon Musk’s life continues to be as dramatic as any Hollywood storyline.
