‘Natural' sperm donor has fathered 190 children with ‘creative' method: ‘I'm the poor man's Elon Musk'
One man is taking 'be fruitful and multiply' to a whole new level.
Rob Albon has devoted his life to supporting a controversial effort by the world's richest person, Elon Musk.
Albon, who lives in a modest home in England, has nowhere near the wealth or name-recognition of the tech billionaire, but he has thoroughly outperformed Musk in their shared goal: to combat rapidly declining birth rates by repopulating the Earth with their children..
While Musk's 14 kids have scandalized many, Albon says he has fathered a whopping 190 children.
'I'm the poor man's Elon Musk,' Albon, 54, told the Daily Mail.
'Like Musk, I'm a very creative person. I feel I have to give back to the world, and this is my way: to be productive,' the prolific 'Sperminator' explained. 'It's something I feel I should accomplish. I have some responsibility to my ancestors and their descendants. Filial piety is what it's called. I'm doing it for posterity.'
Albon has developed a unique strategy of fathering his kids; as a private sperm donor, he publicizes his services on a Facebook page. He is one of the many unregulated sperm donors who practice natural insemination — regular penetrative sex — or partial intercourse, which entails penetrating at the last second for insemination.
Despite not being a practice done at any legal sperm donation sites, Albon argues that insemination through sex is best, claiming without proof that fresh semen and certain sex positions are more likely to get a woman pregnant.
Albon's favorite perk of the job: enjoying his work.
'Of course, I like sex. It's a creative thing,' he confessed to the Daily Mail.
'The women enjoy it, too. Some of them have told me.'
Since he moved to the UK from the United States in 2020, Albon has fathered around 40 kids. The majority are back in the U.S. or Argentina, where he previously worked as a translator.
While he is reportedly in touch with around 60 of his sperm donation kids and sees one of them a week, he has become estranged from his two children from his 30-year marriage with his ex-wife — because of his sexual hobby.
Albon's 'sperm donation' was exposed in February when a Welsh judge publicized his name in a judgment to warn women about his practices. Charging women $133 per session plus expenses, he went by the alias Joe Donor.
He sued a lesbian couple in 2023 for parental rights, demanding that his name be put on the birth certificate of a baby produced from a sperm donation.
Deputy High Court Judge Jonathan Furness KC blasted the father of nearly 200 as having 'a complete absence of sensitivity or empathy' — a claim Albon has rejected.
'It's ridiculous,' he said. 'The judge is definitely wrong. A child has the right to an accurate birth record. My name should have been on the birth certificate, but another person's name was on it, and she had no right to be there.'
Albon added that as a private sperm donor, he has the right to remain anonymous.
'He said he was naming me to protect women from me, but it drew me to the attention of more people who wanted my help,' Albon continued.
Despite his insistence that he wants to be on the birth certificate for his children, Albon is on the run from an arrest warrant in Wisconsin for six counts of not paying child support, the Daily Mail reported.
After the court ruling, he began scaling back on his sperm donation activities, relegating his services to creating siblings of his other children.

Starbase city grows near Musk's launch site and wilderness refuges
Elon Musk has a long way to go before colonizing Mars, but the controversial billionaire already has his own city on a flat patch of Texas, where giant, experimental Starship rockets roar over the incongruous sight of dolphins -- and some skeptical human neighbors. Starbase on the south Texas coast is HQ for the Starship project and something of a shrine to its South African-born founder, the world's richest man and until recently one of President Donald Trump's closest advisors. Musk's short Washington tenure spearheading the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, ended last week, with a vow to get back to his day job of running his business empire, including SpaceX, Tesla and Starlink. The departure came as investors grew increasingly nervous about the spillover from Musk's reputational damage after publicly allying himself to Trump and tearing through the US government in search of spending cuts. Now he hopes to hunker down in Starbase near the Mexican border and get back to the matter of reaching Mars. The scene is a curious mix of futuristic high-tech and down-to-earth attractions for a city that was officially incorporated in May but remains very much a work-in-progress. Cars speed down the narrow Boca Chica Boulevard leading to Starbase, where an AFP film crew was not allowed to enter. A huge bust of Musk on the outskirts of the settlement was vandalized in April and now stands with the right cheek peeled off, covered by a giant plaster. A cluster of buildings rises near the launch site, including an imposing corporate tower that bears Musk's X logo and prefabricated houses painted black, white, and gray. For now, the city has only about 500 residents, some still living in trailers and some in the prefab homes, which have patios and outdoor grills. Looming over the landscape are two models of super heavy launchers and one Starship rocket. "I think it's pretty cool, making a whole entire city based around a launch site," said 21-year-old computer engineer Dominick Cardenas who was visiting the area for the unsuccessful test launch last week. "Maybe I'll move down here one day. Who knows? I'd love to go to Mars, who wouldn't?" - Environmental impact - But the space city is surrounded by nature and wildlife, especially birds. Activist Christopher Basaldu, who is a member of the Carrizo/Comecrudo Native American tribe and holds a PhD in sociocultural anthropology, called Musk a "colonizer." "The land here is sacred to the original inhabitants of the area. And SpaceX is polluting and desecrating this land," he told AFP. There are two federal wildlife refuges in the area where SpaceX operates: the Lower Rio Grande Valley and the Laguna Atascosa. There is also the Boca Chica Beach, where residents have been spending their summers for decades and which is now closed during test flights. "There isn't supposed to be exploding rockets next to pristine wetlands and habitat," Hinojosa said. In 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency fined SpaceX for unauthorized discharges of water from its deluge system into wetlands near its Starbase launch pad connected to the Rio Grande. Despite protests by Hinjosa and other groups, SpaceX received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to increase the number of launches per year from five to 25. Hinojosa calls it "very much a David versus Goliath situation." "We are one of the poorest communities in the country... and we're dealing with the biggest bully on the planet, Elon Musk," she said. "Elon Musk has so much power that he's found a way around most of our lawsuits," she added. - Mall, restaurants, power plant - According to a document obtained by CNBC, Starbase City officials have notified the residents that they might "lose the right to continue using" their property as they currently do. A hearing is scheduled for the end of June to discuss the new zoning plan. SpaceX is also building the Rio West giant shopping mall and restaurant complex near Starbase, valued at $15 million, according to official filings. And environmental activists worry that the Rio Grande liquified natural gas plant being built in the neighboring city of Brownsville, which has the capacity to process methane, a gas that powers Starship, could become Musk's fueling station. SpaceX representatives, Starbase City Mayor Bobby Peden as well as Cameron County officials did not respond to AFP requests for comment for this story. mav/md/sms/nl

CNN Data Chief Explains Why Elon Musk Is 'So Upset' At Trump On Megabill
CNN's chief data analyst Harry Enten on Wednesday argued that ex-White House adviser Elon Musk isn't a fan of President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' because it has far-from-notable impact on reducing the federal deficit. 'No wonder Elon Musk is so upset,' Enten told CNN's John Berman. The billionaire took to his social media platform Wednesday where he ramped up criticism of the GOP-backed legislation and pushed for Americans to 'KILL the BILL,' one that cuts taxes for mostly higher earners and slashes Medicaid funding. In one post, Musk claimed that a new spending bill 'should be drafted that doesn't massively grow the deficit and increase the debt ceiling' by trillions of dollars. Enten noted that Trump looks to send Congress a rescissions package of cuts made by Musk's old stomping grounds at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency — cuts that would drop the national debt down by about $9 billion. The House-passed spending bill, on the other hand, would bring the federal deficit and debt 'through the roof' by an estimated $2 trillion over 10 years. 'You don't have to be a mathematical genius to know that $9 [billion] doesn't come anywhere close to... $2 trillion,' he added. 'So all of DOGE's work that they would send — at least a part of it — to Congress gets completely wiped out, wiped off the map by the big, beautiful bill.' Berman went on to refer to Musk being 'mostly critical' of Congress in his takes on the bill before asking who would 'win' in a battle between the billionaire and Congress. Enten turned to a mix of net favorability (percent approval minus percent disapproval) ratings showing how Musk — who sits at +63 — is a 'very popular dude' among Republicans compared to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), who sit at +46 and +30, respectively. But the billionaire, he said, is 'nowhere close' to Trump's net favorability rating among the GOP — a figure that sits at +79, per a mix of polls. If the president — who has remained silent on Musk for most of Wednesday — 'decides to turn his fire' on the criticism, Enten said, it's a fight that the former White House adviser simply can't win. Enten, when asked if Republicans 'really care' about cutting taxes even if the deficit increases, pointed to polls showing a dramatic shift on the issue. In 1992, just 22% of Republicans dismissed the deficit rising amid tax cuts. Today, that figure sits at 74%.

Elon Musk calls Trump's ‘big, beautiful' tax bill a ‘disgusting abomination'
Elon Musk, the billionaire tech entrepreneur, has opened a new rift with Donald Trump by denouncing the US president's tax and spending bill as a 'disgusting abomination'. Musk's online outburst could embolden fiscally conservative Republican senators – some of whom have already spoken out – to defy Trump as they continue crucial negotiations on Capitol Hill over the so-called 'one big, beautiful bill'. 'I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore,' Musk wrote on his X social media platform on Tuesday. 'This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.' Musk, who had previously voiced criticism of the proposed legislation, quipping that it could be big or beautiful but not both, added on X: 'It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt.' Related: Oval and out: Musk and Trump's farewell marred by disillusionment He continued: 'Congress is making America bankrupt.' A top donor to Trump during last year's election campaign, Musk departed the White House last week after steering its so-called 'department of government efficiency' (Doge) with the stated mission of slashing fraud and abuse within federal departments. He has argued that the Republican bill will undermine Doge's work and drive the US further into debt. On Tuesday, Musk drew immediate support from Thomas Massie, one of only two Republicans who last month voted against the bill in the House of Representatives. 'He's right,' Massie responded on X. But there was a rebuke from Mike Johnson, the House speaker, who said he had spoken with Musk by phone on Monday for more than 20 minutes, making the case that the bill achieved campaign promises while making permanent huge tax and spending cuts. Johnson told reporters: 'With all due respect, my friend Elon is terribly wrong about the one big beautiful bill. It's a very important first start. Elon is missing it … I just deeply regret he's made this mistake.' John Thune, the Republican majority leader in the Senate, was more diplomatic, saying: 'So we have a difference of opinion. He's entitled to that opinion. We're going to proceed full speed ahead.' Having narrowly passed the House, the bill is now under consideration in the Senate, which is aiming to pass a revised version by 4 July. Some Republican fiscal conservatives, such as senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul, share Musk's concerns about the need for significant spending cuts. Johnson told CNN: 'We have enough [holdouts] to stop the process until the president gets serious about spending reduction and reducing the deficit.' Trump has previously dismissed Republican dissenters as 'grandstanders' and urged them to get onboard. His influence proved decisive in quelling a potential rebellion in the House. On Monday he wrote on his Truth Social platform: 'So many false statements are being made about 'THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'.' The White House acknowledged Musk's stance but said it had not changed its position on the bill. The press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, told reporters: 'Look, the president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill. It doesn't change the president's opinion: this is one big, beautiful bill and he is sticking to it.' The bill extends Trump's 2017 tax cuts and includes new spending for border security and the military. Republicans aimed to offset these costs with cuts to programmes such as Medicaid, food stamps and green-energy tax credits. Projections from the Congressional Budget Office and independent analysts indicate that the bill would add between $2.3tn and $5tn to the deficit over the next 10 years. White House officials contend that the economic growth generated by tax cuts will offset the increased spending. Russ Vought, director of the office of management and budget, told CNN: 'This bill doesn't increase the deficit or hurt the debt. In fact, it lowers it by $1.4tn.' But Democrats have warned that the budget would raise the cost of healthcare for millions of people, and cause millions to lose coverage, in order to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. A new analysis by Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania found that it could lead to more than 51,000 preventable deaths. Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, said in a floor speech on Tuesday: 'Donald Trump and his so-called 'big, beautiful bill' is ugly to its very core. Behind the smoke and mirrors lies a cruel and draconian truth: tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy paid for by gutting healthcare for millions of Americans.' Later, responding to Musk's intervention, Schumer commented on X: 'I didn't think it was imaginable but … I AGREE WITH ELON MUSK.' Bernie Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, added in a post: 'Musk is right: this bill IS a 'disgusting abomination'. We shouldn't give $664 billion in tax breaks to the 1%. We shouldn't throw 13.7 million people off of Medicaid. We shouldn't cut $290 billion from programs to feed the hungry. Let's defeat this disgusting abomination.'
