In a rare and explosive public outburst, Elon Musk attacked the Wall Street Journal, defining the worst publication of TMZ “after a long investigative reportage has been published that accuses him of secretly attempting to build a” legion “of children. The article, which explores Musk’s private life, its growing number of children and its alleged attempts to manage mothers through wealth and legal silence, touched a sensitive nerve – one that Musk could not ignore.

A few hours after the publication of the article, Musk used his platform, X, to post a short but brutal response: “TMZ >> WSJ”. Three words, pronounced with contempt. The implication was clear: Musk considers the Journal – always seen as a stronghold of serious financial journalism – less than tabloid gossip.

It is not the first time that Musk shows contempt for the journal. At the beginning of this year, in January, he defined the newspaper “garbage” after he published another report that raised concerns between Tesla and Spacex directors regarding the alleged use of drugs by Musk. But this time, the article strikes closer to home. The title of the new article sounds like something taken from a dystopian drama: “The tactics that Elon Musk uses to manage his ‘legion’ of children – and their mothers.”

The article is accompanied by a portrait style photo of Ashley St. Clair, a 26 -year -old conservative influencer who recently revealed that he had a son with Musk and that he was paid to keep the secret until the child’s 21 years are completed. The story does not make turns of words: accuses Musk of secretly put in the world more children than they have publicly admitted, manipulating women with money, controlling their stories through non -disclosure agreements and pursuing a bizarre high -risk plan to populate the future with its own blood.
According to the article, Musk’s motivations are linked to his longtime conviction that the drop in births will lead to a collapse of the population, something that has described as a greater threat than global warming. The Journal claims that Musk’s solution to this “crisis” is deeply personal: to create as many children as possible, preferably with intelligent or high social rank women, and breed them – or at least finance their growth – in silence, while managing the most influential companies in the world and recommends political leaders such as Donald Trump.
The Journal describes Musk as the manager of a “Harem drama”, while more women – many of whom have children from him – navigate life according to the terms of the billionaire. One of these women is St. Clair, who broke the silence revealing that Musk had offered her $ 15 million and $ 100,000 a month to keep their son, Romulus, a secret until his 21st birthday.
Tesla did not deny the article, nor Musk corrected any fact or challenged the point by point. Instead, he made fun of the credibility of the newspaper, comparing it directly to TMZ, a publication often liquidated as a source of gossip.
For Musk, who exerts a great influence not only in the world of technology and business, but also in global policy, defense and even in space, the comparison is more than an insult. It is an attempt to publicly invalidate the revelations of the Journal by reducing them to simple gossip.
But these are not gossip. The article exhibits series accusations: that Musk has put in the world more than 14 children, who uses money, legal pressures and strategic silence to manage relationships with mothers and which has also encouraged the use of surrogate to accelerate reproduction.
A sensational revelation is a message that Musk would have sent to St. Clair: “To reach the Legion level before the Apocalypse, we will have to use subrogated.”
This single line reveals the breadth of Musk’s thought. His goal is not a large family, but a dynasty, an empire intended for Mars, a renewed civilization sown with his DNA. Musk is seen not only as a father, but as a founder of the future of humanity.
The article suggests that Musk draws his reproductive life with the same intensity with which he faces the design of the rockets or the regulation of the AI: a project to be optimized, climbing and controlling.
And control is fundamental. The Journal claims that many of the Musk agreements with mothers are hidden by legal contracts, sometimes applied by his right arm, Jared Birchall. Women would be warned that if they speak or seek external council, they will suffer financial retaliation. Confidentiality, in Musk’s world, is not optional – is the price to pay to participate.
But that system is starting to creak. St. Clair is not the only one to resist. Grimes, who has three children with Musk, recently criticized Musk publicly for having involved their young son in political events and for not having answered during a medical crisis. Musk’s daughter, Vivian, no longer speaks to him and has changed his legal identity.
Now, the Wall Street Journal – a publication that Musk once considered the most important announcements of his company – revealed the structure of his private empire.
The consequences have already started. Musk’s reputation as a futurist visionary is tested by stories not of innovation, but of hidden children, secrets and emotional detachment. The narrative of the “Legion of children” transforms its pronatism into something colder, calculated. These are not family values. These are numbers. Strategy. And, as some critics support, a dangerous obsession with the legacy that touches the messianic.
Despite this, Musk does not show signs to retire. In his mind, the only most dangerous thing about a drop in the actions price or a delayed launch is a world without enough children. And if the others don’t come forward, he will do it. Repeatedly.
His contempt for the WSJ could be personal, but he is also tactical. Braning the publication as “worst by TMZ”, Musk is trying to reduce legitimate investigative journalism to simple voices and noises.
But the details of the story are already out. The image of Musk as a man who runs against extinction with secret children and mothers bound by NDA cannot be canceled by a meme or a sarcastic post.
This moment matters. Because for all Musk’s statements on how to save civilization, the same civilization that tries to save now is questioning the cost – not only in money, but in truth, transparency and human dignity. The world is looking. And no matter how strong Elon Musk Urli “garbage” screams, the story of the legion of children has already been born.
