Elon Musk shares kid with a Japenese pop star, used drugs during Trump stint: Report
Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk allegedly has a child with a Japanese pop star, revealed a New York Times exposé released this week, which features bombshell claims from Ashley St. Clair, a 26-year-old conservative influencer who also claims to have a child with Musk. Clair told the publication that Musk, who is father to 14 children, has fathered even more children than publicly known, including one with a Japanese pop star. St. Clair, who reportedly gave birth to Musk's child in September 2023, told the NYT that the Tesla and SpaceX CEO spoke openly to her about his mission to combat what he sees as a global fertility crisis.

Musk already share children with several women, including musician Grimes and Shivon Zilis, an executive at his brain-tech startup Neuralink — recent reports suggest that the real number may be significantly higher. Earlier in April, a Wall Street Journal article also claimed the actual number of Mr Musk's children was much higher than what is publicly known.

St. Clair also told the NYT that Musk urged secrecy about their relationship, particularly during political events. When she attended a celebration of Donald Trump's election victory at Mar-a-Lago, she said she had to pretend she didn't know him. The report also digs deeper into Musk's alleged personal struggles and erratic behaviour, particularly during his advisory role under Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Elon Musk's Tumultuous Year: Political Power, Drug Use, and Family Drama
As Elon Musk rose to become one of Donald J. Trump's most influential allies during the 2024 presidential campaign, his personal life was unraveling behind the scenes. Sources close to the billionaire entrepreneur describe a period marked by escalating drug use, erratic behavior, and legal disputes involving several of his children and romantic partners. Musk, 53, donated roughly $275 million to support Trump's bid for a second term and became a frequent presence at rallies and inside the White House. But at the same time, he was reportedly using ketamine so frequently that he began experiencing side effects, including bladder issues—a known consequence of heavy use. According to individuals familiar with his behavior and a photo of his daily medication box, Musk was also taking Ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, and stimulants resembling Adderall. While it remains unclear whether he was under the influence while participating in official government activities, Musk's behavior during public events raised concerns. At one point, he was seen mimicking a Nazi salute at a rally and gave rambling, disjointed answers in a staged interview. On Wednesday evening, Musk announced he was stepping away from his role advising the government, citing a need to focus on his businesses. A Pattern of Escalating Behavior Musk and his legal team declined to comment on the allegations. In the past, he has acknowledged using ketamine under medical supervision to treat depression, claiming he only takes small, prescribed doses biweekly. However, those close to him told The New York Times that his usage was far more frequent and often recreational. 'He's pushed the boundaries of his behavior,' said Dr. Philip Low, a neuroscientist and former friend of Musk's, who publicly criticized the tech mogul for his controversial conduct, including the Nazi-like gesture at a political rally. Family Disputes and Custody Battles Musk's personal life has also come under strain. He is currently embroiled in legal and personal disputes involving several of his 14 known children, many of whom were born to different women under overlapping timelines. One of his former partners, the musician Claire Boucher (known as Grimes), is involved in a contentious custody battle over their 5-year-old son, X. She has expressed concern over Musk's decision to bring the child to public events—including meetings at the Oval Office—despite an agreement to keep their children out of the spotlight. People familiar with the case say she believes the travel and exposure are affecting the child's health. Another former partner, conservative commentator Ashley St. Clair, recently revealed she had a secret child with Musk. According to St. Clair, Musk offered her a financial settlement to remain silent about the child's paternity. When she declined, he sought a gag order, citing concerns for the child's security. St. Clair has since filed for child support and public acknowledgment of paternity. Drug Use Behind Closed Doors Musk's drug use has long been a topic of speculation. In a 2024 interview, he claimed ketamine helped him manage negative moods. But sources say his usage was far more extreme, often mixing ketamine with Ecstasy and mushrooms during private gatherings both in the U.S. and abroad. SpaceX, Musk's aerospace company and a major government contractor, is required to maintain a drug-free workplace. Insiders claim Musk received advance notice of random drug tests, raising questions about internal oversight. SpaceX declined to comment. The FDA permits limited ketamine use for depression through licensed providers but warns of its high abuse potential. Chronic use can lead to dissociation, addiction, and organ damage. Political Influence and Fallout As Musk's influence in Washington grew, so did scrutiny. He began assisting with Trump's presidential transition and was involved in key meetings shaping policy, including a proposed Department of Government Efficiency. He also spent time at Mar-a-Lago and joined calls with foreign leaders. At the same time, Musk was facing multiple investigations into Tesla and other ventures, including scrutiny over autonomous vehicle crashes and allegations of discrimination at his factories. In a text to a confidant last year, Musk wrote, 'The Biden administration views me as the #2 threat after Trump… I can't be president, but I can help Trump defeat Biden and I will.' Private Life, Public Controversies Musk's advocacy for large families appears to have extended into his private life. He's fathered children with multiple women, often simultaneously, and promoted the 'pronatalist' movement—a push for increased global birthrates. At one point, he was involved with three women at once, including Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, who has had four children with him via surrogacy. Former friends and allies have become increasingly vocal in their criticism. Public intellectual Sam Harris cut ties with Musk earlier this year, writing that he had become a promoter of misinformation and had lost his moral compass. In January, Musk appeared at an inauguration celebration where he delivered a chest-thumping salute widely interpreted as fascist in nature. He later dismissed the backlash as a 'positive gesture.' Weeks later, Musk took the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference, wielding a chainsaw given to him by Argentine President Javier Milei and declaring, 'This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy!' Elon Musk's Tumultuous Year: Political Power, Drug Use, and Family Drama As Musk withdraws from direct government involvement, questions linger about his ability to balance his public role, business empire, and personal life. While his supporters continue to champion his genius and vision, others close to him express deep concern about the toll his behavior is taking on those around him—and on the institutions he now influences.

Elon Musk Said He Fathered A Child With A Japanese Pop Star: Report
Elon Musk allegedly fathered a child with a Japanese pop star and told an ex that he would offer his sperm to anyone, a wide-ranging report about the billionaire's role in the Trump administration has revealed. Ashley St. Clair, who allegedly shares son Romulus with the Tesla and SpaceX chief, made the bombshell claims in a new article published by The New York Times. The 26-year-old told the outlet that Mr Musk told her that he had fathered children around the world, including one with a Japanese pop star. She claimed that the billionaire had a deep concern for the declining birth rate, and allegedly told her that he had given his sperm to the person who asked for it, but did not name the woman. "He made it seem like it was just his altruism, and he generally believed these people should just have children," St. Clair said, according to the NYT. Notably, Mr Musk has at least 14 children via four different women who are already publicly known, including Canadian musician Grimes and Shivon Zilis, an executive at his brain-computer company Neuralink. The latest NYT article follows a Wall Street Journal report in April, which suggested that the actual number of Mr Musk's children was much higher than what is publicly known. According to the report, the billionaire claimed that Japanese officials had asked him to be a sperm donor for a high-profile woman. "They want me to be a sperm donor. No romance or anything, just sperm," read the text message to Ms St. Clair, as per The Independent. The outlet reported that Mr Musk later told St. Clair that he had given his sperm to the person who asked for it, but did not name the woman. Meanwhile, elsewhere in the NYT article, Ms St. Claire claimed that while she was giving birth to Mr Musk's alleged child in September last year, he told her "over disappearing Signal messages" that he wanted to keep his paternity and their relationship under wraps. She also said that she had to pretend she didn't know Mr Musk when they both went to Mar-a-Lago to celebrate President Donald Trump's election victory. The New York Times report also alleges that the billionaire was using drugs "intensely" and regularly during his work with Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), including "so much ketamine that it was affecting his bladder". He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, and travelled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, the article claimed.

Elon Musk allegedly fathered baby with Japanese pop star: Report
Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk is at the center of another personal and professional storm after a New York Times exposé published on May 30 alleged he secretly fathered a child with a Japanese pop star.

'He made it seem like it was just his altruism,' St. Clair said, adding that Musk claimed he would give his sperm to anyone who wanted a child. St. Clair told the Times that Musk used encrypted messages to keep their relationship hidden, even after they attended Trump's election night party together at Mar-a-Lago. She said he offered her $15 million and $100,000 per month until their child turned 21 in exchange for her silence. After rejecting the deal, she sued Musk for paternity and child support. Musk responded by seeking a gag order, citing security concerns. The report also revisits earlier claims about Musk's recreational drug use, alleging he consumed large amounts of ketamine, ecstasy, and magic mushrooms, and regularly traveled with a pill box containing about 20 medications. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Musk, 53, has long promoted population growth and has now fathered at least 14 children with multiple partners.
