Musk allegedly made an unexpected proposal to a digital influencer, sparking controversy on social media and affecting her earnings on X platform
Tiffany Fong, a digital influencer known for her work in the cryptocurrency space, claims that Elon Musk reached out to her online with an unexpected proposal: to have a child with Musk.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Musk had never met Fong in person before this request, which was made via messages. However, they had interacted on social media, particularly on the X platform (formerly Twitter), where the influencer has thousands of followers. After Musk’s outreach, she claimed to have earned about $21,000 in just two weeks on the social network.
Fong, however, declined the proposal and expressed concerns about the potential consequences. Afterward, she revealed to other internet personalities, such as Ashley St Clair, that she feared it would affect her earnings. Indeed, her income dropped after Musk unfollowed her and criticized her for sharing the details of the situation.
In an interview with *The Independent*, Fong stated that she did not bring the case to *The Wall Street Journal* and would have preferred to keep it private.
The 31-year-old Tiffany Fong became known on social media by commenting on the cryptocurrency world and interviewing controversial figures like Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX, who is now serving a 25-year prison sentence for financial fraud. In 2022, she herself suffered from the collapse of Celsius and lost $250,000.
The controversy with Musk arose soon after Ashley St Clair, the billionaire’s one-child mother, revealed conflicts with Musk and shared the name of the child. The 26-year-old MAGA-friendly influencer announced she was expecting Musk’s child in 2024 and shared the news on Valentine’s Day 2025. She also stated that she had refused Musk’s $15 million offer to stay silent about their relationship—one-time payment plus $100,000 monthly child support until the child turns 18.
