Elon Musk Asked Crypto Influencer to Have His Child, Then Cut Ties After Refusal: Report
Key Points from the WSJ Investigation:
- Unconventional Proposal: Elon Musk allegedly messaged cryptocurrency influencer Tiffany Fong—whom he had never met in person—asking her to have his child. The request came after months of online interaction, including Musk frequently engaging with her posts.
- Rejection & Backlash: Fong declined, citing a preference for a traditional family structure. Shortly after, Musk unfollowed her on X (formerly Twitter) and reportedly became angry when she shared details of their exchange with others.
- Financial Impact: Fong claims her engagement and earnings from X’s ad-revenue program plummeted after Musk stopped interacting with her. At one point, she earned $21,000 in two weeks due to his engagement.
- Pattern of Behavior: The Wall Street Journal report highlights multiple cases of Musk’s personal influence over women online, including allegations from influencer Ashley St. Clair, who claims Musk offered her 15millionupfront+100K/month in exchange for silence about their child. She refused.
- Musk’s Views on Parenthood: The Tesla CEO, who has 14 children with four women, has repeatedly expressed concerns about declining birth rates, linking procreation to his visions of space colonization and civilizational survival.
No Response from Musk or X:
Neither Musk nor X’s representatives have publicly commented on the allegations.
Why This Matters:
The report raises questions about Musk’s personal conduct, power dynamics on X, and whether his platform interactions have professional consequences for users. It also adds to ongoing scrutiny over his unconventional family arrangements and influence over online communities.
