The world knows Elon Musk as a billionaire tech mogul, a pioneer in artificial intelligence, and a man determined to colonize Mars. But when it comes to being a father, his record appears far less impressive.
In a shocking revelation, St. Clair, the mother of one of Musk’s children, has accused him of neglecting his parental responsibilities—claiming he has only seen their child three times since birth, with the last visit occurring in November 2024.
The accusation further cements Musk’s growing reputation as an absentee father, raising serious questions about his priorities and the way he treats his children.
Despite his public image as a world-changing visionary, his personal life tells a different story—one of emotional distance, broken relationships, and a pattern of neglect toward his growing family.
According to St. Clair, Musk’s role in their child’s life has been practically nonexistent. While he may dominate headlines with his latest business ventures and controversial takes on social media, his child remains largely ignored.
Meeting his own flesh and blood only three times in what appears to be years is a shockingly low effort for any parent, let alone someone with his vast resources and influence.
It’s not as if Musk lacks the means to be present. With access to private jets, limitless wealth, and the ability to set his own schedule, there’s little excuse for failing to prioritize fatherhood.
Yet, for Musk, it seems parenting is at the bottom of his list of responsibilities—far below Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter drama.
This isn’t the first time Musk has been accused of failing as a father. Over the years, several of his children have grown distant from him, with at least one—his transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson—cutting ties entirely.
Vivian has publicly declared she wants nothing to do with Musk, citing his lack of emotional support and dismissive attitude toward her identity.
Her case isn’t an isolated one. Many of Musk’s other children, born from multiple relationships, seem to live their lives with little involvement from their billionaire father.
While he often boasts about his love for large families and has even spoken about the importance of population growth, it appears he views his children as theoretical numbers rather than actual people who need time, love, and care.
While Musk had time to buy and manage Twitter (now X), fire employees, engage in public feuds, and make controversial statements about everything from politics to AI, he apparently couldn’t find enough time to be a consistent father.
Even with his ambitious schedule, it’s hard to justify seeing his child only three times. What message does that send? That his empires matter more than his family? That fatherhood is an inconvenience, an obligation he can afford to brush aside?
The revelation that Musk has essentially abandoned yet another child has sparked outrage online. Many have taken to social media to criticize his actions, calling him out for his hypocrisy.
“Elon Musk wants to save humanity, but he can’t even show up for his own kid?” one user posted.
Another wrote, “He has all the money in the world but can’t spare time for his child? That’s not genius, that’s pathetic.”
Musk has yet to respond to the accusations, but his track record suggests that even if he does, he will likely dismiss the concerns or deflect blame onto someone else.
With Musk making little effort to be involved, the child will likely grow up without the presence of their billionaire father. While they may never lack financial support, money cannot replace emotional connection, guidance, and the security of a parent who genuinely cares.
If history is any indication, this child may one day join the growing list of Musk’s estranged children—left behind while their father focuses on everything but them.
