A Japanese pop star is reportedly the latest addition to Elon Musk’s growing list of women with whom he has fathered children. According to a detailed exposé by The New York Times, the Tesla CEO allegedly confirmed to people close to him that he had a child with the pop singer. The report paints a picture of a man increasingly driven by a personal mission to counteract population decline — one baby at a time.
The same NYT piece notes that Musk, who is now 53, expressed willingness to “give his sperm to anyone” if it meant bringing more children into the world. The comment was reportedly made to Ashley St. Clair, a conservative influencer who has also claimed that she shares a child with the tech mogul.
“He made it seem like it was just his altruism and he generally believed these people should just have children,” St. Clair told the publication.
Ashley St. Clair Breaks Silence On Baby With Musk
In February, St. Clair publicly revealed that she had given birth to Musk’s child, ending months of speculation. “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father. I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that the tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause,” she wrote in a post on X.
The baby was later revealed to be named Romulus — a choice that reflects Musk’s apparent fondness for dramatic, myth-inspired names. The billionaire’s complicated personal life has long intrigued the media, and these latest revelations only deepen the enigma surrounding him.
Musk’s ‘Legion’ Vision: Children As A Mission
Musk’s passion for procreation appears to go beyond personal relationships. As per a Wall Street Journal report cited in the NYT article, Musk described his children as a “legion” and emphasized the urgency of growing their numbers “before the apocalypse.” In a text allegedly sent to St. Clair, he remarked, “To reach legion-level before the apocalypse, we will need to use surrogates.”
This wasn’t just a philosophical musing. The WSJ also reported that Musk directly messaged Tiffany Fong, offering to have a child with her — despite the two never having met. Fong declined the proposition, later explaining she envisioned starting a family “in a more traditional nuclear family” setting. The refusal reportedly led Musk to unfollow her on social media.
With at least 14 children known publicly, and more possibly yet to be acknowledged, Musk seems intent on expanding his personal legacy far beyond electric cars and rocket ships. If the reports are accurate, his ambitions for shaping the future now include shaping the gene pool — one unconventional baby announcement at a time.
