Ashley St Clair Claims Elon Musk Wanted a “Legion of Children” Before Civil War
Ashley St Clair has claimed that Elon Musk once told her he wanted to have a child with her because he needed a “legion of children before the civil war.” Speaking at the Venice premiere of Alex Gibney's documentary about Musk, St Clair also criticised his use of X and accused him of contributing to political division.
Elon Musk's former partner Ashley St Clair has claimed that the billionaire once told her he wanted to have a child with her because he needed a “legion of children before the civil war”.
St Clair made the claim during the Venice premiere of a new documentary about Musk, directed by filmmaker Alex Gibney. She and Musk had a son in 2024 but have since separated.
Her remarks have drawn attention because Musk has publicly discussed population decline and civilisational risks over the years, while his influence through X has also made him an increasingly prominent political figure.
Ashley St Clair recalls Musk's message
According to St Clair, Musk sent her a text explaining why he wanted to have a child with her. She said his reason was that he needed “a legion of children before the civil war”.
The claim was made while discussing Musk's views and his broader public influence in Gibney's documentary.
St Clair also criticised Musk's use of X, arguing that activity on the platform could have consequences beyond online discussions.
She said Musk's conduct on the social media platform was contributing to divisions that she believes could have real-world consequences.
St Clair criticises Musk's influence on X
St Clair questioned whether Musk was simply concerned about the possibility of civil conflict or whether his actions were contributing to such tensions.
She argued that the content and debates amplified through X could influence public sentiment outside the platform.
St Clair, who previously supported Donald Trump, also said she now regrets some of her earlier political activism. She accused Musk of deliberately contributing to division and argued that the situation could become serious without efforts to contain it.
These are St Clair's allegations and views, rather than independently established findings about Musk's intentions.
