In the ever-evolving saga of Elon Muskās public and private life, few have managed to lampoon the tech titan quite like late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, whose recent monologue pulled no punches. This time, Kimmel didnāt just roast Musk for his business moves or controversial tweets ā he targeted the billionaireās ever-expanding brood and painted a comical picture that had the internet in stitches: Elon Musk as a ākangaroo dad,ā possibly carrying his babies in a pouch.
The punchline came during a segment that dissected a bombshell report from The Wall Street Journal, which accused Musk of using his own social media platform, X, to recruit women to bear his children. The report detailed how Musk allegedly fathers children through private messages, promises of wealth, and strict non-disclosure agreements.
According to sources and text messages reviewed byĀ WSJ, the billionaire has already fathered at least 14 children with four different women ā and possibly more.
For Kimmel, this wasnāt just a story ā it was comedy gold.
Showing a now-viral photo of Musk shirtless at the beach, the host launched into one of the most outrageous analogies of the night:Ā āBased on this photograph, he may have given birth to them, too. Heās probably carrying a few around in his pouch like a kangaroo.ā
The audience roared, but the joke struck deeper than just physical comedy. It highlighted the absurd scale and secrecy of Muskās parenting, as well as his disjointed presence in the lives of many of his children. While Musk proclaims to be saving humanity from population collapse, critics point out that heās often emotionally and physically absent from the very children he brings into the world.
Kimmel continued the segment by recounting details from the WSJ article, which described Muskās so-called ābaby legionā ā a growing network of children he allegedly fathers with women handpicked from social media. The comedian joked about Muskās text messages sounding like a comic-book villain, especially one line in which Musk reportedly wrote:āTo reach legion-level before the apocalypse, we will need to use surrogates.ā
Kimmelās response?Ā āHe even texts like a supervillain. Heās not Elon Musk anymore ā heās Sex Luther.ā
The combination of āSex Lutherā and āKangaroo Dadā created an instant meme storm online, but the underlying commentary was clear. Kimmel wasnāt just mocking Musk for laughs ā he was holding up a mirror to a public figure whose private ambitions are starting to sound like a dystopian plotline.
According to the WSJ, Musk has allegedly offered some of these women millions in hush money, proposing deals where he would fund their lifestyles in exchange for silence and legal compliance. Women like Ashley St. Clair, who gave birth to a child she says was fathered by Musk, claimed she was offered $15 million and $100,000 a month ā but only if she never spoke publicly about their relationship or the baby.
St. Clair refused to sign the NDA and has since gone public with her story, sparking widespread backlash and a renewed debate about Muskās ethics, not just in tech, but in fatherhood. Kimmel seized on the surreal nature of the revelations, equating Muskās actions to something between a Marvel villain and a fertility cult leader.
He also poked fun at Muskās belief that declining birth rates are the biggest threat to civilization, an idea Musk has repeated often on X and at global conferences. While many demographers acknowledge a slowdown in population growth in certain regions, Kimmel was less convinced.
āI donāt know what planet Elon lives on,ā he said.Ā āThis one seems full to me. Ever try getting out of the parking lot at Dodger Stadium? Weāre good on people.ā
The kangaroo comparison was just one part of a broader point: Muskās obsession with reproducing isnāt just personal ā itās strategic, grandiose, and deeply weird. In Muskās own words, he sees himself as a warrior against demographic doom. In Kimmelās monologue, heās the worldās richest mammal⦠quietly incubating future billionaires in his pouch.
Behind the satire, the realities are more sobering. The WSJ report painted Muskās parenting model as one built on distance, legal structure, and financial leverage, rather than emotional connection or co-parenting. Many of his partners reportedly live in homes arranged by Muskās fixer, Jared Birchall, and are required to sign confidentiality agreements to secure continued support.
Kimmelās āKangaroo Dadā analogy became an instant cultural shorthand for this strange and secretive empire ā a man who might not be changing diapers, but could be harboring offspring like theyāre backup hard drives. The image is absurd, but in a world where billionaires have the power to fund governments, launch rockets, and now engineer families in private, itās also unsettlingly plausible.
As the segment wrapped up, Kimmel added one last line that merged cynicism with deadpan wit:Ā āIt is kind of sweet, I guess. Elon loves babies. I mean, he spent $300 million to get one elected president.ā
The audience laughed again ā not just at the joke, but at the surreal reality of a man whose life seems increasingly detached from the norms most people live by. From buying Twitter to building a child army, from Neuralink to name-gagging his own children (remember X Ć A-12?), Elon Musk is no longer just the worldās richest man ā heās becoming the worldās weirdest dad.
And as Jimmy Kimmel made abundantly clear, if Musk really is a kangaroo, heās the only one whose pouch comes with a legal department and a nondisclosure clause.
