Explosive report reveals claims about Musk’s private life and drug use while advising Trump administration
Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, allegedly fathered a child with a Japanese pop star and offered his sperm to others amid concerns about declining global birth rates, according to a new New York Times report. The article also details Musk’s alleged drug use during his work with Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Ashley St. Clair claims Elon Musk fathered a child with Japanese celebrity
Ashley St. Clair, 26, told the New York Times that she shares a son, named Romulus, with Musk. According to her, Musk once confided that he had children around the world, including one with a Japanese pop star. She also said he expressed deep concern over the global population decline and claimed he had offered his sperm to individuals who requested it, although he did not disclose any names.
“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.
Elon Musk reportedly wanted to hide his relationship and parenthood
The NYT article further states that Musk asked St. Clair to keep their relationship and his paternity hidden. She claimed that during the birth of their child in September last year, he communicated with her through encrypted Signal messages, emphasizing secrecy. She also recounted an incident where she had to act as though she didn’t know Musk while attending a Mar-a-Lago event celebrating Donald Trump’s election win.
Billionaire’s total children may exceed the public count
Elon Musk is already known to have at least 14 children with four women, including Canadian musician Grimes and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. However, a separate Wall Street Journal report in April suggested that the actual number may be higher. That report cited a message Musk allegedly sent to St. Clair stating 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,” he reportedly texted, according to The Independent.
Drug use allegations during Trump administration’s DOGE initiative
Beyond personal relationships, the New York Times report raises questions about Musk’s conduct during his advisory role in the Trump administration’s DOGE initiative. According to the article, Musk was “intensely” and frequently using drugs at the time, including “so much ketamine that it was affecting his bladder.” He also allegedly consumed Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms and traveled with a pill case holding roughly 20 medications.
The revelations—if accurate—paint a complex portrait of one of the world’s most high-profile tech moguls, mixing global influence with personal controversy. Neither Musk nor his representatives have issued a public response to the claims at the time of this publication.
