Elon Musk, already a father of 14, reportedly said he wants a “legion-level” of kids before the apocalypse arrives.
Elon Musk, the influential billionaire and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is making headlines with his bold statements about wanting more children.
He has expressed a desire to have a “legion-level” of kids before what he refers to as the apocalypse.
This ambition has sparked discussions around his views on family and society.
Musk has 14 children from different relationships.
Musk is already the father of 14 children, born from relationships with four different women.
His family includes a mix of twins and triplets, showcasing his busy family life.
The first of his children, Nevada Alexander, was born in 2002 but tragically passed away at just 10 weeks old.
Following that, Musk and his ex-wife Justine Wilson had five more children: twins Vivian and Griffin, now 20, and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian, who are 19.
Musk also shares three children with the musician Grimes: sons X Æ A-12 and Techno Mechanicus, and daughter Exa Dark Sideræl.
More recently, he welcomed twins with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis and a child with Ashley St. Clair.
This diverse family structure reflects Musk’s complex personal life.
Elon Musk reportedly wants to build ‘children’s army’ before the end of world
Musk’s idea of a ‘legion-level’ family is intriguing. The term “legion” refers to a large military unit from ancient Rome, often consisting of thousands of soldiers.
Musk seems to use this term to emphasize his ambition for a very large family.
He reportedly said reaching this goal may require surrogates, showing he’s serious about further expanding his already large family.
“To reach legion-level before the apocalypse, we will need to use surrogates,” the SpaceX and Tesla CEO said.
Musk worries about future underpopulation crisis.
One of Musk’s main concerns is the potential for an “underpopulation crisis.”
He has publicly stated that he believes the world is facing a significant decline in birth rates.
At a 2021 event, Musk warned that low birth rates could cause civilization to collapse, stressing the need for more people.
He believes that if society does not prioritize having more children, the future may be at risk.
“I can’t emphasize this enough, there are not enough people,” he said during a 2021 event with.”
“And I think one of the biggest risks to civilization is the low birth rate…If people don’t have more children, civilization is going to crumble.”
The tech CEO engages social media for family connections.
Musk has taken to social media to express his thoughts and find potential partners for his ambitious family plans.
Reports say he’s used X (formerly Twitter) to reach out to women potentially interested in having children with him.
In response to a recent report about his family plans, Musk humorously tweeted, “TMZ >> WSJ,” indicating his preference for sensational news over serious journalism.
In February 2025, Ashley St. Clair announced on X that she and Elon Musk welcomed a child in September 2024.
A paternity test revealed a 99.9999% probability that Musk is the father.
Musk became a father for the first time in 2002 with his ex-wife, Justine Wilson, when they had their son Nevada Alexander, who sadly passed away at 10 weeks old.
They later had five more children: twins Vivian and Griffin, now 20, and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian, who are 19.
Musk also has three children with Grimes and three with Shivon Zilis.
