Elon Musk Faces Allegations of Secret Child, Drug Use Amid Hush Money Suit

Elon Musk is reported to have secretly fathered a child with a Japanese pop star, according to Ashley St. Clair, who also claims to have a child with Musk. St. Clair alleges Musk told her he had fathered children worldwide and would be willing to donate his sperm to anyone wanting a child, portraying it as an altruistic mission to combat declining birth rates. She further claims Musk wanted to keep their relationship and the child secret, even offering her $15 million plus monthly payments until the child turned 21 in exchange for silence, which she rejected and subsequently sued for paternity and child support. Paternity tests confirmed Musk as the father with 99.9999% certainty. The reports coincide with revelations of Musk's intense drug use, including ketamine, during his tenure at the Department of Government Efficiency and his struggles with personal and family matters, including disputes with musician Grimes over custody of their son. These disclosures highlight Musk's complex personal life amid his public advocacy for population growth and his recent departure from a government role.
