Truth behind Elon Musk’s ‘Kenyan son’ pushing for Tesla boss to take a DNA test

Truth behind Elon Musk’s ‘Kenyan son’ pushing for Tesla boss to take a DNA test

Elon Musk may have fathered 14 children, but according to one bold claim, that number could be one higher.

A 40-year-old man from Kenya, Nyakundi Kibiru, recently went viral after alleging that he’s Musk’s firstborn—born from a fling between the Tesla CEO and Kibiru’s mother in the early 1990s. The twist? If Kibiru’s math is correct, Musk would’ve been just 14 at the time.

“I’m the Firstborn”: Kibiru Demands a DNA Test

Kibiru told The Daily Star that his mother met a then-20-year-old Musk while working at a hotel in Kenya’s Masai Mara. He described himself as a “mental health activist” and claimed his mother’s brief encounter with the future billionaire resulted in his birth. Now, he’s asking for a DNA test to prove the connection.

Photos of Kibiru quickly spread online, with many pointing out the supposed physical similarities between him and Musk. From the chiseled jawline to facial features, some were convinced the resemblance was too close to be random.
