I believe he has 14 known children, but people who spoke to the Wall Street Journal for their exposé on his childbearing habits suggested the number is much higher,” Bruenig said.
THE WRAP
Elon Musk is known to have at least 14 children, but the true number could be much higher, journalist Elizabeth Bruenig said on the “Sanity” podcast Friday. “I have heard people estimate [it] at 100 or more,” said Bruenig, author of The Harem of Elon Musk. She cited a Wall Street Journal exposé suggesting the figure exceeds 14.
Bruenig said Musk has fathered children with at least four women, possibly five with the addition of conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair. Camerota noted Musk reportedly uses NDAs and hefty payouts to keep paternity matters private, mentioning St. Clair allegedly received $15 million and a $100,000 monthly stipend.
Camerota also questioned how Musk’s behavior aligns with Republican “family values,” calling it “dystopian” and “hypocritical.” Bruenig said Musk views procreation as a way to combat declining birth rates. Musk shares children with Justine Wilson, Grimes, Shivon Zilis, and St. Clair, among others, but has little involvement with some offspring.
