Leaked messages suggest Musk hopes to build a ‘legion’ of children

A surprising set of alleged leaked messages has surfaced, suggesting that Elon Musk might have a secret goal—to father an incredible 5,000 children.
The tech billionaire has often spoken out about how concerned he is with the falling birth rates around the world. He’s even gone so far as to say that this issue could end up being "the biggest problem the world will face in 20 years."
In 2022, Musk shared a post on his own platform, X (which used to be called Twitter), where he wrote: "Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming... mark these words."

It now seems Musk might be taking direct action on this concern, as he has reportedly fathered 14 children with four different women so far.
Earlier this year, political influencer and MAGA supporter Ashley St Clair posted on X, stating that she had given birth to Musk’s child and had filed a legal case for paternity and custody.
After the case was brought to court, a DNA lab test confirmed with a near-absolute probability—99.9999%—that Musk is indeed the biological father of St Clair’s baby.

Even though Musk hasn’t come out publicly to say whether he is the baby’s father, private messages that allegedly show a conversation between him and St Clair appear to give insight into his bigger plans for expanding his family.
According to an article from the Wall Street Journal, Musk—the head of SpaceX—has laid out ambitions to father not just a few more children, but thousands of them.
In those messages, he reportedly stated: "To reach legion level before the apocalypse we will need to use surrogates."
In military history, a legion referred to a division in the Roman army that typically included around 5,000 soldiers, giving some context to Musk’s apparent goal.
St Clair also shared that while she was pregnant, Musk encouraged her to consider using a surrogate so they could have more children together. She claimed that Musk had even proposed the idea of her having 10 of his kids.
Allegedly, the billionaire also urged St Clair to go for a c-section delivery, believing it could help optimize the development of the baby’s skull and brain.

Elon Musk has fathered three children with musician Grimes, four with Shivon Zilis—who is a director at Neuralink—and six children with his first wife Justine Wilson. Among those is his estranged daughter Vivian Wilson, who has been openly critical of her father.
In 2023, Musk made headlines for controversial comments he made about Vivian, especially in regard to her being transgender.
During an interview with Jordan Peterson, Musk referred to Vivian as his “son” and stated that she had been taken from him “by the woke mind virus.”
Vivian has since come forward with claims about her father, saying that he prefers to use IVF treatments so he can choose the gender of his children. Most of his children, she pointed out, are boys.
