Elon Musk’s Baby Mission Sparks Wild Theories
Elon Musk’s obsession with repopulating the planet has officially crossed borders—and genres. After claims surfaced that the tech mogul offered his sperm to women around the globe, speculation swirled online that one of Japan’s biggest pop stars had secretly borne his child.
Ayumi Hamasaki, the 46-year-old chart-topping queen of J-Pop, has been thrust into the headlines after online sleuths claimed she fit the profile. Known as the “Empress of Pop” in her native country, Hamasaki is also the mother of two boys—whose fathers have never been publicly named.
That mystery fueled fan theories after right-wing influencer Ashley St. Clair alleged Musk boasted about “fathering children across the world” and was giving away his sperm to anyone who wanted it. Musk fathered her child, a baby named Romulus, but his alleged comments left many wondering: who else?
Ayumi Hamasaki Shuts It Down—Fast
On Instagram, Hamasaki didn’t wait long to swat the gossip away. In a rare direct response, she mocked the rumors while still taking them seriously for the sake of her kids.
“My mother laughed at me and said, ‘This sounds like your story,’” she wrote in Japanese. “But different is different. I’m going to deny it completely because I don’t want my child to Google it someday.”
Hamasaki added that even she could understand why fans thought it might be true, but made it crystal clear she has zero connection to Musk.
Her statement struck a balance between humor and urgency—because in the age of viral TikToks and tabloid headlines, even a wild rumor can stick.
Musk’s Global Baby Rumors Continue
St. Clair, who first spoke to The New York Times, claimed Musk was offering his genetic code to “worthy” candidates and believed it was a moral duty to repopulate Earth with high-IQ children. “He said it was altruism,” she told the outlet.
She didn’t name names, but the comment set off a firestorm. Reddit threads and Twitter speculation pointed to Hamasaki, who has worked internationally and has American ties. Others wondered about lesser-known but rising stars like Ado, the mysterious Japanese singer with an anime persona who recently partnered with Musk’s own SpaceX project.
Ado’s Voice Launched Into Space—Literally
Ado’s connection to Musk is more than just a stretch—it’s science fiction. Earlier this year, her voice was beamed into orbit as part of a musical space project involving a Falcon 9 rocket. That move prompted fans to wonder if she was the real “mystery mother.”
There’s zero evidence of a romantic link, but Ado has never revealed her identity in public, and that mystery only added fuel to the fire.
The 22-year-old performer hasn’t addressed the speculation. And neither have her reps.
Another Rising Star Speaks Out
Then there’s Hana Kuro, a rising Japanese-British star whose team also got looped into the chaos. With Ariana Grande looks and major industry backing, Hana recently dropped a new single called “Playboy.”
When asked if she had any connection to Musk, her manager Michael Africk laughed it off.
“Anything’s possible when you’re dealing with the richest guy in the world. But no, I don’t think so,” he said. “She’s worked too hard for this. I doubt she’d throw it away.”
Africk, a former U.S. pop star who toured with Britney Spears and N’Sync, now manages talent through Handcraft Entertainment. He also emphasized the vast difference between Japanese and American media when it comes to tabloid invasions.
“Privacy is a real thing in Japan. You’re not sneaking backstage or ambushing people. Journalists over there draw a line. So if this rumor were true, we probably wouldn’t hear it from Tokyo.”
Musk Battles Drug Accusations And Trump Fallout
Meanwhile, Elon Musk is still dealing with the fallout from a separate firestorm. Over the past few weeks, he’s faced claims he used ketamine, mushrooms, and ecstasy on the campaign trail. He’s denied it all—loudly—accusing The New York Times of lying “their a—off.”
He’s also been feuding with President Donald Trump over a controversial spending bill, which Musk described as a “mountain of disgusting pork.”
So while Hamasaki’s Instagram clapback may have shut down this particular rumor, the Tesla titan’s chaos machine rolls on.
A Growing Family Tree—And No End In Sight
Elon Musk now has at least 14 confirmed children with four women. His daughter Vivian, 21, has publicly disavowed him and said she doesn’t even know how many siblings she has.
The growing list includes six kids with first wife Justine Wilson (one of whom tragically passed away), three with musician Grimes (including Tau Techno Mechanicus), and four with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
Now there’s baby Romulus with Ashley St. Clair. And possibly more?
A court-ordered DNA test confirmed Musk’s paternity in St. Clair’s case after she claimed he begged her not to put his name on the birth certificate. After going public, she says he slashed her child support payments.
Musk hasn’t publicly acknowledged the child.
Denials, Distractions, And Drama
If Ayumi Hamasaki hoped her Instagram denial would squash the rumors, she may be only partly successful. In today’s digital circus, a whiff of celebrity scandal tends to linger.
Still, she did what many stars wouldn’t—she responded quickly, calmly, and with her children’s future in mind.
With no confirmation from Ado, Hana Kuro, or anyone else, the mystery may fade into the background. But with Elon Musk involved, it might be only a matter of time before another outlandish chapter begins.
