In a bold move, Elon Musk is making headlines again, this time with a fiery response to a recent article by the Wall Street Journal that delves into his notably busy personal life. The piece, which tackles Musk’s relationship with his children’s mothers, sparked Musk’s shoutout to TMZ, suggesting his preference for the gossip outlet over more traditional journalism.

The WSJ article, released on Tuesday, exposes Musk's connections with various women, including Grimes, Ashley St. Clair, and Shivon Zilis, with whom he has a total of 14 children. Allegations suggest that there might be even more children out there, which has caught the media's attention.

Musk is known for his controversial stance regarding a supposed fertility crisis in the U.S., warning that without a surge in births, civilization is at risk. A striking claim from his biography includes a quote from Zilis, who mentioned Musk’s desire for intelligent individuals to have children—a sentiment he's reportedly encouraged her to embrace.

The WSJ went further to reveal a message from Musk to St. Clair discussing the prospect of hiring surrogate mothers to ensure a larger family, expressing a desire to 'reach legion-level before the apocalypse.' This was followed by details on financial arrangements surrounding St. Clair's pregnancy, including a $2 million stipend for her expenses while Musk requested anonymity on their child's birth certificate, leading to a paternity test that came back with an astonishing probability of 99.9999%.

St. Clair is now suing Musk for sole custody of their child, named Romulus, amidst her insistence on receiving recognition for her role as the child’s mother.

In an even more scandalous turn, the WSJ reported that Musk has been reaching out to women via his platform, X (formerly known as Twitter), to propose sharing in the procreation mission. It seems he has also compensated individuals to maintain their silence about their encounters, indicating that St. Clair's circumstances aren't unique.

Following the WSJ's publication, Musk stirred up social media, tweeting "TMZ >> WSJ," igniting responses filled with curiosity and intrigue among his followers.

This reveal from the world’s richest man not only showcases his complex personal life but also raises questions about societal and family dynamics in an era where procreation and parenthood are hot topics. Musk’s antics are sure to keep the conversation going, not only in tabloids but across social media platforms.
