Kenyan Man Claims He Is Elon Musk’s Firstborn, Internet Calls It a Hoax
A 40-year-old Kenyan man, who identifies as a mental health activist, has gone viral after claiming he is Elon Musk’s firstborn son and demanding a DNA test to prove it.
The man alleges his mother met a young Musk in Kenya’s Masai Mara in the early 1990s, sparking curiosity and skepticism online.
But the internet was quick to shut down the claim. For starters, the math does not add up.
If the man is 40 today, he would have been born around 1985, meaning Elon Musk would have been just 14 years old at the time.
Not exactly a likely scenario.
Adding to the doubts, the photo the man shared to support his claim appears AI-generated, with many online users pointing out unnatural features and inconsistencies.
Critics also noted that the story has circulated before on Russian websites, part of a growing trend of AI-generated “Black versions” of famous white celebrities.
So far, Elon Musk has not responded, and there is no verifiable evidence to back up the claim.
With timeline inconsistencies, a dubious image, and no supporting documentation, social media has largely dismissed the story as a wild hoax.
Still, the bizarre claim has captured imaginations, trending across Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok as users debate whether it is a clever prank or just plain fantasy.
