Elon Musk hits back at claims he's trying to create a 'legion' of kids
Elon Musk has hit back at reports that he is making a 'legion' of children after it was claimed that his '13th child' was born.
The businessman is currently in a legal battle with influencer Ashley St. Clair, who claimed on social media that she was the mother of the Tesla CEO's 14th.
Following the baby's birth, Musk hasn't explicitly confirmed that he is the father, though a Wall Street Journal article claimed that the Tesla CEO took a paternity test which stated that he had a 99.9999% likelihood of being her child's father.
The American news outlet further reported that Musk asked the mothers of his several children, which the WSJ estimate to be much higher than 13, to live on the same compound in Austin, Texas.

It was also said that the SpaceX CEO asked for his children to be born via C-section as he believes that they will have 'larger brains' as a result.
While it is unknown if his other partners, Justine Wilson, Grimes and Shivon Zilis complied, St Clair refused to have the C-section.
It's said that only Zilis lives on the compound, while reports have claimed that Grimes declined the request.
Some alleged messages between Musk and St Clair have been made public by the WSJ, with one message from Musk saying: "To reach legion-level before the apocalypse... we will need to use surrogates."
While it shows the businessman's desire to father as many children as possible, another message to St Clair allegedly asked her to visit his residence to see his 'kid legion.'
The influencer further claimed that she was offered $15 million (£11 million) and $100,000 (£75,239) not to disclose Musk as the father of her child until he was 21, by fixer Jared Birchall.
Musk has now responded to the several claims made against him in the extensive report, as he compared the publication to TMZ.
The 53-year-old wrote: "TMZ >> WSJ."
In January this year, he also called the paper 'trash', responding to a report that focused on his alleged drug use.
But this report, which was released on Wednesday (16 April), claims that he is preparing for a population collapse with his own large group of children.
St Clair claims that Musk finds 'candidates' to birth his child through X, and serves them with NDAs later on.
She further claimed that Musk requested that his children not undergo a circumcision, though as St Clair is Jewish, she rejected this claim as well.
Musk's name is also not on Romulus' birth certificate, at his request.
The Tesla CEO first became a father in 2002, welcoming a son called Nevada with Canadian author and then-wife, Justine Wilson.
Sadly, the child would devastatingly pass away just 10 weeks after birth. The couple went on to have five more children - twins Vivian and Griffin, 20, and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, 19 - before divorcing in 2008.
Musk would then go on to welcome son X, full name X Æ A-Xii, with singer Grimes in 2020, with the former couple going on to have two more children, son Tau Techno Mechanicus and daughter Exa Dark Sideræl.
