Elon's VERY different baby mamas: How Musk has welcomed 13 children with polar opposite women from 'anti-trophy' first wife to techno singer Grimes and a MAGA influencer half his age

Elon Musk has become as well known for his huge - and every growing - brood of children than for his business acumen. The owner of X, formerly Twitter, is believed to have welcomed his 13th child last year with MAGA influencer Ashley St Clair. It's perhaps no surprise that Elon, 53, has allegedly welcomed a new child. The South African billionaire has said it's his duty to combat under-population.

A female friend of Musk's recently told The Mail on Sunday: 'He will keep fathering children for as long as he can and he's only 53 so technically he could keep going for another 30 years. He sees it as his mission to repopulate the earth, single-handedly if necessary.'.

With his first wife Justine Wilson, he welcomed six children, on of whom died at 10 weeks old. He then had three with former partner Grimes and three more with his Neuralink employee Shivon Zillis. Musk is yet to comment on the legitimacy of Ashley's claims, but if true, the child will be his 13th.

Elon's baby mother's are all very different and each met Trump's right-hand man in wildly different circumstances.

Elon Musk, 53, is almost as well known for his huge brood of children as he is for his business ventures and interest in space.

Elon is pictured with his son X, whose mother is techno-singer Grimes. Before meeting her first husband, Justine Wilson, now 52,  had dreams of becoming a successful novelist and making it big in her home country of Canada. Justine was born and raised in Ontario and met Musk while studying at the English Literature at Queen's University in Ontario.

Quiet and from a normal Canadian family, Justine had little interest in romance with the brash South African from a wealthy mining family. Speaking about their first interaction, Justine explained that Elon had invited her out for ice cream after pretending to have met at a party previously.

She turned him down but he remained  persistent and turned up at her desk as she studied with two melting cones of ice cream. Writing in Marie Claire, she said that Musk is 'not a man who takes no for an answer'. Despite this, she kept rejecting him and after graduating she moved to Japan to teach English as a second language.

She eventually move to California, and took odd jobs working in bars while trying to make it as an authour. Justine Wilson, now 52, first met Elon at Queen's University, and had no interest in entering in to a romantic relationship with the South African international student who was a year ahead of her.

But fast forward several years she, the pair got married and Justine welcomed twins Griffin and Xavier (now Vivian) and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian. At the same time, Musk had moved to California to make it in Silicon Valley. The pair reconnected and she agreed to go on a date with the SpaceX founder - a decision that would change her life.

Elon's net worth had sky-rocketed to $20million. He soon asked Justine to move in with him. While Elon focused on building his business empire, Justine worked on her writing but after the two got hitched, their dynamic suddenly changed. Elon revealed he was keen to start a large family and on their wedding night told his new bride that he was the alpha in their relationship.

After getting married in 2000, the couple welcomed their first baby, a son called Nevada Alexander. But tragically, just ten weeks later, their little baby died from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Despite the devastating loss, Justine and Elon continued growing their family and two months later began trying for another baby through IVF.

Over the next five years, Justine became the mother to twins Griffin and Xavier, born in 2004. Last year Xavier came out as transgender and changed their name to Vivian and removing Musk as her surname, revealing she was distancing herself from her father.

After another round of IVF, Justine welcomed triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian in 2006. While raising her five children she also published three novels - BloodAngel, Uninvited and Lord of Bones. By 2008, the marriage had broken down. Justine said she didn't like how their marriage had evolved and she no longer felt like a partner but a disappointment.

'I had turned into a trophy wife - and I sucked at it,' she said. 'I wasn't detail-oriented enough to maintain a perfect house or be a perfect hostess. I could no longer hide my boredom when the men talked and the women smiled and listened.'. 'I wasn't interested in Botox or makeup or reducing the appearance of the scars from my C-sections.
