In a shocking twist to an already explosive saga, cryptocurrency influencer Tiffany Fong has broken her silence with a bombshell claim: Elon Musk, the billionaire behind Tesla and SpaceX, allegedly threatened to make her “disappear from America” if she did not comply with his private proposition to bear his child.
The statement, described as both disturbing and revealing, adds a volatile new dimension to the mounting rumors and headlines surrounding Musk’s alleged attempts to expand his already sprawling lineage.
Fong, 31, has been at the center of growing speculation ever since The Wall Street Journal published an April exposé detailing Musk’s purported direct message to her, asking if she would be interested in conceiving a child with him—despite the two never having met in person.
While the public reaction to that report was swift and divided, what lay beneath the surface was far more unsettling.
According to sources close to Fong, she not only rejected Musk’s offer but confided to friends that the Tesla CEO became cold, controlling, and ultimately threatening after learning she had disclosed his message.
Though she initially remained silent, insisting she had no part in leaking the story to the press, Fong took to X (formerly Twitter) last week with a rare post denouncing the WSJ article. “For the record, I did not feed this story to WSJ (or any other outlet) and explicitly asked NOT to be included when I was contacted for comment. If you’re waiting for me to comment publicly, it’s not going to happen. THANKS!” she wrote.
Yet behind the scenes, it appears her silence was not merely a personal decision—but the result of intense pressure.
Privately, Fong has now revealed to confidants that she was warned in chilling terms by Musk himself to stop speaking about the incident. The most alarming detail: Musk allegedly told her that if she continued disclosing their interaction or refused to cooperate, she would be “erased from this country.”
While it remains unclear what Musk intended by this phrasing—whether it was legal retaliation, digital blacklisting, or something more nefarious—the threat was taken seriously by those in Fong’s circle. “She was visibly shaken,” one source familiar with the situation said. “It went from flirtation to domination in a heartbeat.”
The background to this bizarre power play is already steeped in controversy. Musk, 53, has long been vocal about his belief that population decline is a threat to civilization and that wealthy individuals, particularly himself, must help repopulate the world.
With 13 children from previous relationships with three different women—including Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis and pop star Grimes—Musk has clearly practiced what he preaches. In September 2024, conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair confirmed she had given birth to Musk’s 14th child. A paternity test revealed there was a near 100% match.
St. Clair, once an online ally of Fong, is also the person to whom Fong first confided Musk’s childbearing proposition. It was after this disclosure, insiders suggest, that Musk began to retaliate. Fong’s follower engagement dropped dramatically.
Her earnings from X’s creator program, which had once skyrocketed to $21,000 in a mere two weeks thanks to Musk’s earlier online interactions with her, plummeted. Whether this decline was orchestrated or coincidental remains a subject of intense speculation. But the psychological impact was immediate.
Fong, known for her irreverent commentary on cryptocurrency and politics, was thrust into a new reality—one where her career was in jeopardy, her safety was questioned, and her name was trending for reasons she had no control over. In February, she attempted to push back on the growing rumors with sarcasm and disbelief.
Sharing a screenshot of a Daily Mail headline claiming she was “carrying Elon Musk’s baby,” she wrote: “Insane that I need to announce I am NOT pregnant,” adding in her caption, “We live in a clown world.”
But laughter could no longer mask the mounting pressure she was under. When Musk allegedly learned that she had spoken to others about his proposition—especially someone in his own circle like St. Clair—he reportedly unfollowed her on X and cut off all communication. This act of digital exile signaled a clear message: you crossed the line.
In private conversations with those close to her, Fong recounted how Musk allegedly escalated from subtle withdrawal to open intimidation. The threat, “You’ll disappear from America,” was reportedly delivered through encrypted channels, hinting at a darker side of Musk’s persona—one where rejection is met not with detachment, but with vengeance.
For many observers, this saga underscores a larger pattern of behavior that has followed Musk through his meteoric rise. While the tech mogul continues to be idolized by many for his innovation and bold vision of the future, his personal relationships increasingly appear to follow a troubling template: charm, control, and consequence.
The fact that Musk can seemingly determine the online fortunes of influencers with a like or unfollow speaks volumes about the asymmetry of power in digital spaces. And when that power is paired with intimate advances and retaliatory silence, the implications are chilling.
Tiffany Fong’s experience is not just a personal tragedy—it is a warning. A cautionary tale about the dangers of digital intimacy in an era where access, influence, and ego collide.
That a billionaire with unmatched reach can allegedly dangle career success in exchange for personal compliance—and then threaten exile when refused—paints a bleak picture of how power is wielded in the internet age.
As of now, Musk has made no public response to Fong’s newest claim. His spokespersons remain silent. Fong, meanwhile, is once again retreating from public discourse, reportedly afraid for her safety and uncertain about her next steps.
But her story is out—and it has shaken the perception of Musk not as a visionary leader, but as a man who allegedly uses his influence to manipulate, and if necessary, destroy.
This is no longer a rumor about DMs or paternity tests. It is a story about coercion, fear, and the thin line between admiration and abuse in a world where power doesn’t knock—it slides quietly into your inbox and waits for submission. Tiffany Fong refused. And now the world is watching what happens when you say no to Elon Musk.
