ALBAWABA - A Kenyan mental health campaigner caused a stir around the world when he said in public that he is the oldest son of Elon Musk, the famous wealthy businessman. This 40-year-old man said he would be happy to take a DNA test to back up his claim, which has been met with a lot of doubt.
Some people are upset that Musk, who is 54 years old now, would have only been 14 years old when the man was said to have been born. Even so, the accuser is adamant that his story is true and that he looks a lot like the father of Tesla and SpaceX.
The man said that his mother met Elon Musk when she worked at a hotel in Kenya's Maasai Mara area in the early 1990s. At the time, Musk was in his twenties. The claim was picked up by local and foreign media, but the story has been weakened by the fact that basic information like the man's name, where he is now, and any other confirmed photos of him besides the one going around online are missing.
After being shared on the African Hub account on X (formerly Twitter), the story received a lot of attention. A Kenyan man says he is Elon Musk's son. The post quickly went popular, with about 9.7 million views, 55,000 likes, 4,700 reposts, and 3,300 comments since it was first posted on August 3.
