Ashley St Clair has made an explosive claim that her ex-partner Elon Musk wants a "legion" of children to fend off an "apocalypse"

In text messages between Elon - who is thought to have fathered 14 children with at least four women, which the publication claims is higher - and Ashley, the Wall Street Journal reported: "To reach legion-level before the apocalypse.

"We will need to use surrogates."

Ashley - who claimed he recruits "candidates" through his social media platform X before slapping NDAs on them - has backed the 53-year-old Senior Advisor to US President Donald Trump that "civilisation is going to crumble" if people do not have more children.

In another text message, the publication claims, Elon had a meeting in Austin, Texas, where "Japanese officials asked him to be a sperm donor for a high-profile woman.

He is said to have messaged Ashley: "They want me to be a sperm donor. No romance or anything, just sperm," before he later told her that "he gave his sperm to the person who asked for it, without naming the woman".

Responding to the article, the billionaire wrote on his social media platform X: "'TMZ WSJ"

The article also covered her efforts to prove that Elon is the dad of her newborn son.

She asked him to take a paternity test - of which he "recently took" in a "battle with one woman over money and privacy" - but she had to go through his fixer, Jared Birchall, to contact him.

She said in a two-hour phone call in December 2024: "I don't want my son to feel like he's a secret."

Jared added that Elon was a "very big-hearted, kind and generous person", but when a mom of his child goes down "the legal route" in these scenarios,"that always, always leads to a worse outcome for that woman than what it would have been otherwise."
