Elon Musk’s Baby Empire: Tesla in Crisis, White House Blowups, and the Secretive, Spiraling Plan to Populate the Planet
With Tesla’s profits plummeting, critics torching his electric cars in protest, and a senior White House official branding him “the most irritating person I’ve ever had to deal with,” Elon Musk isn’t exactly riding high on his usual wave of bombastic bravado.
Behind closed doors, insiders claim Musk has erupted in shouting matches with cabinet members over his erratic behavior. Even Donald Trump—once an ally—was heard referring to Musk’s tenure in his administration in the past tense, suggesting that the bromance might be over.
So when the 53-year-old tech titan announced last Tuesday that he would be “significantly” stepping back from his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) next month, few in Washington were surprised. His polarizing presence has increasingly become a political liability rather than an asset.
Typically, a graceful exit from such a position is paired with the well-worn excuse of “wanting to spend more time with family”—but in Musk’s case, the question is: Which family?
Because Musk doesn’t just have one family. He has at least four, and apparently he’s far from finished.
Sources close to him say Musk is on a mission to expand what they call a “private harem”—a growing circle of intelligent, conservative, and camera-ready young women chosen to bear his children. His aim? To repopulate the Earth with his own DNA, driven by an almost messianic belief that he’s singlehandedly solving what he calls a “population collapse crisis.”
So far, Musk has fathered at least 14 children with four different women, many via IVF. But those in his inner circle suggest the real number is much higher—a claim given weight by his estranged daughter, Vivian, 20, who recently admitted she has no idea how many half-siblings she has.
Vivian also claimed Musk selects the sex of his IVF-conceived children—favoring boys—and gives them wildly unconventional names.
From his first marriage to writer Justine Wilson, Musk had six children (one died in infancy). With musician Grimes, he’s had three more: X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Tau Techno Mechanicus. Then came twins Strider and Azure, followed by Arcadia and Seldon Lycurgus, all with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis—the most recent births confirmed in 2024 and 2025.
And the surprises keep coming.
In February, conservative influencer Ashley St Clair dropped a bombshell: she had secretly given birth to Musk’s son, Romulus, five months earlier. Court documents reveal that Musk resisted a paternity test and asked not to be listed on the birth certificate. But a DNA test ordered this month confirmed with 99.9999% certainty—Musk is the father.
According to St Clair, Musk has barely been present in Romulus’s life and slashed financial support as retaliation for going public. She also claims that he spends millions in hush money and legal agreements to keep other mothers—and more children—from surfacing.
Despite being notoriously vocal on his social platform X, Musk stays conspicuously quiet about his expanding brood. Publicly, he rallies for free speech. Privately, he’s building a legacy—one baby, one NDA at a time.
