Take the words of musician Grimes, mother to children numbers seven, ten and 11, who last week had to resort to Musk’s social media platform X to ask him to, “Plz respond about our child’s medical crisis . . .
And now baby number 13 — known only as “RSC”, has made an appearance in the world and his mother Ashley St Clair is suing Musk for full custody and demanding he take a paternity test.
The post has since been deleted but, while Musk may well pay for the upkeep of his various offspring, what sort of father makes it so hard for the mother of three of them to get hold of him when it comes to parental responsibilities of the pastoral kind?.
But if Ms St Clair’s claims are true that he texted her to say, “I want to knock you up again” and “Well, we do have a legion of kids to make”, then it’s clear that his attitude towards parenting is up there with that of an egotistical cult leader — that siring a large number of children is a reflection of his virility.
So far, only Yale graduate Shivon Zilis — mother to two of Musk’s children — has reportedly taken up the offer to live in “Musktown” or whatever it’s called.
