Elon Musk has a plan to populate the world with more babies of "high intelligence" - and it's all part of his wider mission to one day occupy Mars to save civilisation.

That is according to an explosive report by The Wall Street Journal about the world’s richest man and how Maga influencer Ashley St Clair found herself caught up in his “harem drama”.

Mr Musk has four children – Strider, Azure, Arcadia and Seldon Lycurgus – with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, as well as three – X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl and Tau Techno Mechanicus – with music artist Grimes. He also has six children with Justine Wilson, who was married to Mr Musk for eight years from 2000.

Mr Musk did not respond to its request for comment but made light of it on his social media platform X by comparing the
