Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, is reportedly driven by the belief that an increase in the global population, particularly of highly intelligent individuals, is crucial to prevent civilizational collapse. This perspective is cited as the primary motivation behind his aggressive procreative efforts, leading him to have at least 14 children. Musk aligns with a "pronatalist" view prevalent among American right-wing circles, expressing concern over declining birth rates in developed nations like the US and Europe, contrasting them with higher rates in the "third world" and advocating for educated individuals to have more children. He has frequently highlighted the birth rate crisis in his public statements, citing South Korea as a representative example.

His methods for increasing the population are diverse and unconventional. According to influencer Ashley St. Clair, who claims to have borne his 13th child, Musk sent her a text message while she was pregnant, stating, "I think I'll have to use surrogacy to increase offspring to 'legion' level before doomsday." He has also reportedly donated sperm, accepting a request in 2023 from a famous Japanese woman for pregnancy purposes, not romance. Furthermore, Musk is said to be intricately involved in the birthing process to maximize the child's intelligence. For instance, he reportedly advised St. Clair to undergo a C-section, asserting that "natural birth limits baby's brain size, while C-section allows for a bigger brain."

The article also alleges that Musk has used his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to recruit women to bear his children. St. Clair, a conservative influencer, became involved with Musk after he showed interest in her posts and exchanged messages with her. Similarly, cryptocurrency influencer Tiffany Fong, a friend of St. Clair's, claims Musk approached her with an offer to have his child. Musk initially engaged with Fong's X posts, which significantly boosted her followers and income. However, when Fong declined his offer and confided in a friend, Musk unfollowed her, leading to a sharp decline in her earnings.

The article details the financial arrangements Musk proposed to St. Clair after she gave birth. Through an agent, he offered a one-time payment of $15 million (approximately 21.4 billion KRW) and monthly financial support of$100,000 (approximately 142 million KRW) until the child reached adulthood, on the condition that she remained silent about the child's paternity. The contract stipulated that the full $15 million would be forfeited if the agreement was breached. When St. Clair publicly disclosed on social media that she had given birth to Musk's child, he reportedly withdrew the initial financial offer and reduced child support to$20,000 per month (approximately 28.5 million KRW). St. Clair also claimed that Musk's agent had warned her that while Musk is "kind and generous," if a woman bearing his child pursues legal action, the outcome "is always worse."
