Elon Musk hits back at Ashley St. Clair after she claims he texted her about needing "legion of children before the civil war"

The exchange on X, formerly Twitter, follows St. Clair's public remarks at the Venice Film Festival regarding a private text message she alleges to have received from Musk. St. Clair, a commentator known for her conservative views, presented the alleged text as evidence of Musk's concerns about declining birth rates and societal collapse, framing it as a dire warning.

Musk's response directly addresses St. Clair's characterization of their alleged private communication. This public disagreement highlights Musk's vocal advocacy for increased birth rates, a stance he has publicly articulated on multiple occasions. The situation brings into focus the intersection of prominent public figures' personal beliefs, private communications, and their broader societal pronouncements on demographic issues.
