Elon Musk is directly messaging women on his social media platform, X, to solicit them to have his babies in order to grow a “legion” of kids with high intelligence as part of his mission to save “civilization,” The Wall Street Journal reports.
Sources told WSJ that Musk, who currently has at least 14 children with four women, wants to build a “legion” of children because he believes “civilization is going to crumble” due to declining birthrates.

Musk may have even more children with additional women, WSJ wrote, citing multiple sources described as being “close” to the Tesla CEO. The report also cites multiple sources as claiming he has used X to find and meet women for the purpose of having babies.

Musk responded to the bombshell WSJ story by comparing the news outlet with gossip site TMZ, writing in a post on X, “TMZ >> WSJ.”

Cryptocurrency influencer Tiffany Fong was one of the women Musk directly messaged on his platform, according to the outlet. Their relationship began with him liking and replying to her posts, and grew stronger when she began centering her content to support of President Donald Trump.
Fong earned $21,000 within a two-week period through X’s revenue-sharing program due to Musk’s engagement. Around that time, the billionaire sent her a direct message on the platform asking if she wanted to have a child with him, according to anonymous sources who spoke with the outlet.

Fong rejected Musk, but told some of her friends about the interaction, including MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair, who is currently in a legal battle with Musk over their infant son.
A paternity test put the probability of Musk being the father at 99.99%, St. Clair’s attorney, Karen B. Rosenthal, told HuffPost. Musk has not publicly acknowledged the child, whose name is Romulus.
St. Clair told WSJ her relationship with Musk began in 2023, when he followed her on X. The two began exchanging direct messages on the platform and began a romantic relationship, with Musk frequently talking about having children, she said.

Text messages between Musk and a then-pregnant St. Clair revealed the tech mogul would suggest bringing in other women as surrogates to have more children in order to “reach legion-level before the apocalypse,” WSJ reported.
St. Clair gave birth to the child in September. She told WSJ she was offered $15 million and $100,000 a month in child support in exchange for keeping quiet about the baby.

Last month, St. Clair alleged that Musk “financially retaliated against” their son after she went public about the baby.
