'Who said romance is dead?': Jimmy Kimmel roasts Elon Musk for 'recruiting' a 'harem of baby mamas'

Jimmy Kimmel’s opening monologue for the April 15th episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! focused on Elon Musk’s life as a father. Musk reportedly has 14 children, whom he shares with different women. “Sources told the Journal they believe there could be ...

He showed a viral image of a shirtless Musk at a beach and quipped, "Based on this photograph, he may have given birth to them, too

Jimmy Kimmel did not hesitate to mince his words in response to a Wall Street Journal investigative report that Elon Musk has fathered “many mini-Musks” in an attempt to “seed the world in his own image.” The late night comedy show host did not seem all that surprised by the revelations of the report and he seized the chance to ridicule the Tesla CEO's apparent quest to repopulate Silicon Valley with babies.

He highlighted an investigative report that detailed the DOGE boss’s plan to father as many children as possible. The report stated that Elon Musk has fathered 14 children with multiple partners. While many of these partners are publicly known, some are not, suggesting he may have more children with women who haven't been publicly identified.

Jimmy Kimmel roasts Elon Musk

”The Wall Street Journal, of all places, published a bonkers account of Musk’s efforts to seed the world in his own image,“ Kimmel explained in his monologue. He referred to Musk’s dream as a “harem of baby mamas.”

“The story (WSJ) said he’s been using his social media platform to recruit women to carry his children, and then he buys their silence with multi-million dollar non-disclosure agreements,” said Kimmel. “Who said romance is dead?” he asked.

“It is believed that Elon has fathered at least 14 children,” Kimmel continued. Musk has drawn criticism for fathering these kids by at least four different women, and allegedly for being absent in several of his kids’ lives.

You’ve heard of ‘Alien v. Predator’? Elon might be both,” Kimmel quipped.

Taking on Musk’s longstanding belief that that declining birthrates are humanity’s greatest threat, Kimmel joked that the world seems crowded enough as-is.

“I’m not sure what planet Elon lives on — this one seems full to me,” he said. “You ever go to Costco on a Saturday? Ever tried to get out of the parking lot at Dodgers Stadium? I think we’re good on people.”

'Many more mini-Musks'

Jimmy Kimmel did not stop there. He showed a viral image of a shirtless Musk at a beach and quipped, "Based on this photograph, he may have given birth to them, too. He’s probably carrying a few around in his pouch like a kangaroo.”

“Sources told the Journal they believe there could be more mini-Musks out there,” Kimmel said. “Many more mini-Musks. You’ve heard of Alien vs. Predator? Elon might be both of them."

Kimmel tried to understand Musk’s reasoning for intentionally fathering so many kids. “He has stated in the past that he believes declining birth rates are the greatest threat to humanity,” Kimmel said. “I’m not sure what planet Elon lives on. This one seems full to me.”

Kimmel asked Musk, “Ever try to get out of the parking lot at Dodger Stadium? I think we’re good on people.”

Musk noted a detail from the WSJ article that claimed Musk had once texted a woman who was pregnant with his child, “To reach legion-level before the apocalypse, we will need to use surrogates.”

“He even texts like a supervillain,” Kimmel joked. “He’s Sex Luther.” Kimmel concluded, “It is kind of sweet, I guess. Elon loves babies. I mean, he spent $300 million to get one elected president.”

The WSJ report disclosed a new name in the ongoing story—a cryptocurrency influencer from Japan, Tiffany Fong. According to the report, Elon Musk directly messaged Fong, asking her to have his child but she denied. Following Musk’s approach, Fong experienced a surge in both followers and revenue on X.

Fong later confided in her friend, Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, about Musk’s proposition. Interestingly, St. Clair recently claimed she gave birth to Musk’s child. After Musk became aware that Fong had shared the details, her revenue on X reportedly dropped significantly.
