Elon Musk is super rich, and he’s also a super dad. He has 14 kids with four different women. From his first marriage to Justine Musk, he fathered six children. (the eldest of whom, Nevada, died as a baby in 2002.) He went on to have son X, now five, with Canadian musician Grimes, then two more children during a casual relationship, and then four with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis (Strider and Azure (twins), Arcadia, and Seldon Lycurgus), two of whom were born just before and after his son with Ashley St. Clair. ( the actual number of kids reportedly remains a secret with signed NDAs).
Moreover, there have been claims that Elon Musk has fathered a child with a Japanese pop star, bringing his total number of children to 15. The tales began circulating after Ashley St. Clair told The New York Times that Musk had fathered a child with Ayumi Hamasaki, often called the “Empress of J-Pop.”

As per The Daily Beast, Hamasaki shut down the buzz and said, “I’ve been keeping an eye on this, and I guess it’s time for me to speak up. Elon Musk is not the father of either of my children,” Hamasaki stated in an Instagram Story, according to Tokyo Weekender.
46-year-old pop sensation Hamasaki has two sons, born in 2019 and 2021, with different partners whose identities she has kept private. She added humour to the speculation and said, “Even my mom laughed when she heard it, saying, ‘This seems kind of Ayu-like.’ If I were someone else, I might also think I was the singer being referred to. But it’s simply not true.”
In addition, social media users, especially on J-pop forums, remain suspicious and have been trying to identify the name of Ayumi and Elon’s child, as author Ashley St. Clair mentioned. Therefore, Ayumi Hamasaki said she needed to clarify the situation for her children’s sake so they wouldn’t one day stumble upon the false story and believe it.
Meanwhile, Ashley claimed in texts reviewed by The Wall Street Journal that Elon Musk had told her Japanese officials approached him about being a sperm donor for a high-profile woman with whom he has no romantic or emotional involvement, and he agreed.
In addition, Ashley said that Elon considers this kind of “sperm philanthropy” an unselfish contribution to fight global population decline, a topic about which he has been quite vocal on social media. The Tesla CEO previously said that “civilization is going to crumble” if people do not have children, stating, “I do have a lot of kids, and I encourage others to have lots of kids.”
Ashley St. Clair is in a custody dispute with Elon Musk over their son, Romulus. Musk wishes to keep full custody of his 14th child.
Ashley St. Clair announced the birth of Romulus on X (formerly Twitter) in February.
“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father,” she wrote in a statement on X with the caption “Alea Iacta Est,” meaning “the die is cast.”

While immense speculation flocked to social media sites after her announcement, despite initially questioning his paternity, Musk confirmed he has financially supported St. Clair, stating on X (formerly Twitter), “I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but I am not against finding out… I have given Ashley $2.5 million and am sending her $500,000 yearly.”
A Labcorp paternity test later confirmed with 99.9999% assurance that Elon Musk is the father. Money will never be an issue for the MAGA supporter when supporting his growing empire. This idea stemmed from his ideology that having more children is the best way to take a bloodline forward.
Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis.
A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far.

Musk wrote on X, “Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis. A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far.” While many might have mixed opinions about such a personal and controversial topic or even disagree with him, people perhaps need to remember that in the billionaire world, the rich don’t follow the rules but make their own.
