Ashley St. Clair allegedly informed Musk, who has never been modest about his desire to have more children, that he was the father of a child with an unidentified Japanese pop star and that he would donate his sperm to anyone in order to conceive, as quoted in a report by People.

St. Clair claimed that "he made it seem like it was just his altruism and he generally believed these people should just have children,” as per a report by People.

Why is Elon Musk focused on having so many kids?

Before the world ends, the tech billionaire reportedly expressed in private that he wants to have a "legion-level" of children, for which he apparently needs surrogates, as per a report.

Musk sees his children as a "legion," a term that describes a Roman army unit made up of thousands of soldiers, according to a Wall Street Journal article published in April. The newspaper claimed that Musk has attempted to locate more women to bear his children by using X.

How many children does Elon Musk actually have now?

With four different women, he already has fourteen children. When his ex-wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson, gave birth to their son Nevada Alexander in 2002, Musk became a father for the first time. Unfortunately, the boy passed away at the age of ten weeks. Five more children were born to the couple- triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian, as well as twins Vivian and Griffin.

Elon Musk and singer Grimes revealed they had a first child together, X Æ A-12, in 2020, two years after the two were first connected. Techno Mechanicus, a boy, and Exa Dark Siderael, a girl, are the couple's other two children.

In November 2021, he also secretly fathered twins, Strider and Azure, with Shivon Zilis, an executive at one of his companies, Neuralink, a few weeks before the birth of their second child, according to court documents obtained by Insider. Arcadia, the couple's daughter, was born in February 2024.

St. Clair announced the arrival of a child with Musk in February 2025; the child's name was later disclosed as Romulus. Zilis then revealed that she and Musk had secretly welcomed baby No. 4, son Seldon Lycurgus.
