Elon Musk has been accused of using his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to target women for baby-making purposes.
Musk is known to have at least 14 children with four different mothers. However, a report from the Wall Street Journal suggests there could be many more.
A recent article from the publication claims that Musk refers to his children as a “legion” and wants more kids. It also makes reference to a text message he sent to one of his children’s mothers, Ashley St. Clair, in which he told her that he was keen on recruiting more women to have even more offspring.
“To reach legion-level before the apocalypse, we will need to use surrogates,” part of his supposed text read.
According to St. Clair and others, Elon has been using X to find women and pays them for their silence.
St. Clair was reportedly offered $15 million plus $100,000 a month in child support to keep quiet about having a child for the Tesla and SpaceX CEO. He ended up pulling the offer.

Nondisclosure clauses are part of some of the payment agreements. If the mothers push back or seek outside counsel, Musk’s advisers, including [Musk fixer, Jared Birchall], have threatened financial retribution, according to the documents and people.
Birchall described Musk’s expectations to St. Clair: “Privacy and confidentiality is the top of the list in every aspect of his life, every aspect, and his entire world is set up to be, like, a meritocracy.” Benefits flow, he said, when “people do good work.”
During the call with Birchall, St. Clair told him she had received outreach from a woman Musk had invited to have his baby. She said she was being caught up in Musk’s “harem drama.”
Elon Musk Fires Back At The Wall Street Journal
Elon Musk seemingly denied this by taking to said platform to make claims of TMZ being a better source than the Wall Street Journal.
“TMZ >> WSJ,” he wrote in a tweet.

Even so, he has not been shy about talking up population increase.
“If you don’t make new humans, there’s no humanity, and all the policies in the world don’t matter,” he said during an investment conference in Saudi Arabia in 2024.
If WSJ is to be believed, Musk is committed to playing his part.
