Elon Musk aims to populate the Earth with a “legion” of high-intelligence children in an effort to stave off the potential collapse of human civilization stemming from declining birth rates, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, which cited various sources.
An exploration by the publication highlighted what it labeled as a “harem drama” involving Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency and a close supporter of former US President Donald Trump. The report noted that the billionaire has fathered at least 14 known children with four women, although the actual count may be significantly greater. His relationships with the mothers of his children reportedly entail hush-money arrangements along with intense parental conflicts.
At the core of Musk’s reproductive ambitions lies his “dark view” of the future, where he fears humanity could face extinction due to unfavorable demographic trends. “He is driven to correct the historic moment by helping seed the earth with more human beings of high intelligence,” the report states, referencing sources familiar with the situation.
Ashley St. Clair, one of the women alleged to have had an affair with Musk and who claims to be the mother of one of his children, shared with the WSJ a message that she says was sent by Musk. In this message, Musk allegedly refers to his children as a “legion” and expressed a desire to have even more offspring with other women. “To reach legion-level before the apocalypse,” he reportedly stated. “We will need to use surrogates.”
The WSJ also reported that Musk has utilized his platform X to seek out potential mothers, often targeting individuals he has never met but who possess a degree of social prominence.
In 2021, Musk remarked that low birth rates represent “one of the biggest risks to civilization.” He added, “If people don’t have more children, civilization is going to crumble.”
Musk’s private life has not been without controversy, as his daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson, who has distanced herself from him and has come out as transgender—a decision Musk has criticized—has labeled him a “serial adulterer.” Furthermore, he is currently engaged in a custody dispute with Canadian pop star Grimes, who has claimed that he withheld one of their children from family visits for several months.
