In this news:
Elon Musk wishes to build a “legion” of children and has been actively recruiting potential mothers through his social media platform, X, as part of his ambitious goal, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. Musk has also proposed the use of surrogates to speed up the process, the report added. He is said to want to “seed the earth with more human beings of high intelligence.”
The Journal further reveals that Musk uses financial incentives and strict confidentiality agreements to manage this effort which one woman described as a “harem drama.”
So far, Musk is confirmed to have fathered at least 14 children with four women: Canadian author Justine Musk, singer Grimes, Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis and Ashley St Clair.
While many are wondering who might be next in Musk’s effort to expand his family, The Spectator World has named a few people in its report.
Natalie Winters
The Journal reported that Musk often interacts with certain users on X, sometimes even messaging them directly. It also claimed that some of these women were later approached about having their children.
The Spectator World mentioned Natalie Winters, a 24-year-old executive editor for Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, as a possible name since Musk frequently appears in her replies.
When asked about this, Winters told the outlet, “Maybe he just shares my stories because they’re good?” She also added, “No H-1Bs,” referring to the ongoing feud between Musk and Bannon on X.
Bridget Phetasy
Another name on the outlet’s list is its columnist Bridget Phetasy who also hosts the show Dumpster Fire. She has previously called Musk her “nemesis” and is married, but the outlet still included her in its report.
When asked about the possibility, she jokingly said, “I’d only have his baby if it ensured my current daughter a spot on the rocket off Earth or in his bunker,” referring to Musk’s talks of a future apocalypse.
Top Executive
The outlet mentioned that that tech billionaire already shares children with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis who is also on the company’s board. Based on this, it speculated that other top women at Tesla, SpaceX or X could be approached next. The outlet added that Musk values intelligence highly, both in the workplace and for the genetic traits of his children.
Giorgia Meloni
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was also mentioned in the report. The reason for her inclusion was Musk’s interactions with her especially since they both share strong pronatalist views. Musk had previously clarified that there is “no romantic relationship whatsoever with PM Meloni.”
Well, that is a name that might make you do a double-take but it was mentioned in the report. The outlet speculated that the tech-savvy billionaire could use artificial wombs to create “hundreds of Musks.” It humoorously suggested that “X AI rear the whelps until adulthood, educating them until they are ready to take up their engineering jobs on Mars.”
While these names are merely speculation (by the outlet’s reasoning, of course), the Journal claimed that Musk allegedly provided sperm to a high-profile Japanese woman after being approached by Japanese officials.
He has also reached out to crypto influencer Tiffany Fong with offers to have children. But after Fong made their messages public, Musk reportedly unfollowed her.
