Jimmy Kimmel mocks Elon Musk over 'harem of baby mamas' and his plans to populate world with 'mini-Musks'
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Jimmy Kimmel was in full roast mode during the Wednesday, April 16, episode of his late-night show as he took aim at what he described as Elon Musk’s bizarre and booming mission to populate the world with "mini-Musks."
Referencing The Wall Street Journal's eyebrow-raising report that delves into the tech billionaire's apparent obsession with fathering children, the comedian turned the news into a goldmine of late-night zingers, as per The Daily Beast.
Jimmy Kimmel mocks Elon Musk over 'harem of baby mamas'
Jimmy Kimmel opened the segment with mock disbelief.
He said, "The Wall Street Journal, of all places, published a bonkers account of Musk’s efforts to seed the world in his own image," describing Musk’s apparent procreation mission as a "harem of baby mamas."
According to the report, the Tesla CEO has allegedly been using his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to scout potential mothers for his children. Once a match is made, he's said to secure their silence with multi-million-dollar non-disclosure agreements.
"Who said romance is dead?" Kimmel quipped.
Jimmy Kimmel roasts Elon Musk’s expanding brood
With reports stating that Elon Musk has fathered at least 14 children with at least four different women, critics have pointed to his alleged absenteeism in several of those children's lives.
"Based on this photograph, he may have given birth to them, too," Kimmel joked, flashing a now-viral shirtless image of Musk at the beach. "He’s probably carrying a few around in his pouch like a kangaroo."
Kimmel wasn’t done.
"Sources told the Journal they believe there could be more mini-Musks out there," he said. "Many more mini-Musks. You’ve heard of Alien vs Predator? Elon might be both of them."
Jimmy Kimmel jokes Elon Musk even 'texts like a supervillain' over apocalypse baby plan message
Elon Musk has previously stated that he sees declining birth rates as "the greatest threat to humanity," a justification for his prolific fatherhood. But Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t buying it.
"I’m not sure what planet Elon lives on. This one seems full to me. Ever try to get out of the parking lot at Dodger Stadium? I think we’re good on people," the comedian quipped.
Kimmel highlighted one particularly dystopian detail from the WSJ article: a text Musk reportedly sent to Ashley St Clair, while she was pregnant with his child.
"To reach legion-level before the apocalypse, we will need to use surrogates," Musk wrote.
"He even texts like a supervillain. He’s Sex Luther," Kimmel joked.
In his closing punchline, the late-night host poked fun at Musk’s political influence.
He said, "It is kind of sweet, I guess. Elon loves babies. I mean, he spent $300 million to get one elected president."
