Elon Musk supposedly wants to father a 'legion' of children, as per leaked messages.
The messages allegedly penned by the SpaceX founder come amid his legal battle with Ashley St Clair, who claims to have given birth to the multibillionaire's 13th child.
She announced the news on the Musk's very own social media platform, writing at the time: "Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.
"I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child's privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause."

In February, 26-year-old St Clair filed two suits against Musk to the New York Supreme Court: one asking for full legal custody of their son, and the second calling for him to have a paternity test to prove if her child is his or not.
It's said that Musk has fathered at least 14 children with four different women, including pop icon Grimes. However, it has been speculated that the tech mogul has more children that aren't in the public eye.
Reportedly, Musk offered $100,000 a month in childcare support in exchange for her silence on the birth of their child, but St Clair declined, Wall Street Journal reported.
While speaking to the newspaper, St Clair revealed text exchanges she had with Musk while she was pregnant.
"To reach legion-level before the apocalypse, we will need to use surrogates," Musk allegedly wrote.
Musk has long made his fears about the world's declining birthrate clear. Back in 2023 (the same year he met St Clair), he tweeted: "Population collapse is an existential problem for humanity, not overpopulation!"
He echoed similar sentiments in 2022 and dubbed less babies being born as more of a risk to civilization than global warming.
"Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming," Musk wrote. "Mark these words."
In light of him having fathered so many children with different women, it was once reported that Musk wanted all of these women and his kids to live on one giant compound together.
In 2024, the New York Times reported that the 53-year-old had forked out a whopping $35 million on two neighboring properties in Austin, Texas, for his 'blended' family to live in.
It isn't known whether all four women who have mothered his children have moved in with their respective offspring, however.
