Ashley St. Clair, mother of one of Elon Musk’s 14 confirmed children, says the billionaire texted her wanting “a legion of children before the civil war.” She made the revelation at the Venice premiere of Alex Gibney’s four-hour documentary, Musk. The couple had a son in 2024 before separating. St. Clair claims Musk’s team offered her a $40 million lump sum and $100,000 monthly stipend in exchange for signing an NDA, which she refused. She also warned that Musk is “stoking flames that don’t exist in the real world” through X. Director Gibney, who filmed over 3 years, described Musk as a con man whose wealth comes from “inflating stock” rather than creating actual value.
