Elon Musk’s Secret Family: A Closer Look at the WSJ Investigation
Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur known for his ventures such as SpaceX and Tesla, has been making headlines recently for a different reason – his alleged secret family. A recent investigation by the Wall Street Journal suggests that Musk may have fathered more children than the 14 already known, with sources claiming the actual number could be much higher. The report also sheds light on how Musk manages to keep these details under wraps.
According to the report, Jared Birchall, a longtime associate of Musk who runs his family office, plays a crucial role in handling the logistics of Musk’s expanding family. Birchall is responsible for drafting non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and acting as a confidant for the mothers of some of Musk’s children.
One such incident mentioned in the report involves conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, who reportedly gave birth to Musk’s son last year. Musk allegedly offered St. Clair a deal worth $15 million, along with an additional $100,000 per month until the child reaches the age of 21, in exchange for her silence. St. Clair declined the offer, leading to tensions between her and Musk. She claims that Musk’s team only sent her $20,000 after being contacted by the Journal for comment.
Aside from his role in Musk’s personal affairs, Birchall is also the CEO of Neuralink, Musk’s brain-implant startup, and a partner at xAI, Musk’s artificial intelligence venture. Managing Musk’s private life alongside his professional responsibilities seems to be a challenging task for Birchall. According to the Journal, Birchall advised St. Clair that taking legal action against Musk would not be in her best interest, hinting at the power dynamics at play in Musk’s inner circle.
