Reality behind Elon Musk’s ‘Kenyan son’ demanding Tesla boss takes DNA take a look at
Elon Musk’s ever-growing household simply welcomed one other new member – in the event you consider all the things you learn on-line, that’s.
A 40-year-old bloke from Kenya lately got here ahead and proclaimed that he was the tech tycoon’s firstborn son, alleging he got here alongside nicely earlier than Musk’s 14 different youngsters.
The person, named Nyakundi Kibiru, claimed that he was the Tesla boss’ love baby, who was born because of his mom’s temporary fling with a ’20-year-old Musk.’
He alleged that his mum had met the eccentric billionaire, 54, whereas she was working at a resort in Masai Mara within the ‘early Nineteen Nineties’, earlier than Musk had made a reputation for himself on the world stage.
Kibiru, who described himself as a ‘psychological well being activist’, went on to demand a DNA take a look at to show he was Musk’s organic son, in accordance to the Every day Star.
However in line with some social media customers, there is not any want for one – as after Kibiru shared a snap of himself on-line, folks mentioned they might significantly see the resemblance between the supposed father and son.
Aspect by aspect, the pair appear to have strikingly comparable options, whereas each seem to sport the identical sculpted jawline.
Individuals have been nonetheless fairly skeptical in regards to the authenticity of Kibiru’s claims although, even when he did appear to be a useless ringer for his supposed dad.
One particular person wrote: “Attention-grabbing! Seems may be deceiving although.”
“He actually look similar to him,” a second mentioned, whereas a 3rd commented: “Spitting picture.”

One other social media consumer requested: “Have you ever thought-about he may very well be a brother and never the daddy? Everyone has a doppelganger someplace on this planet. It is simply that you have not met yours but.”
However a fast little bit of arithmetic and taking a more in-depth take a look at the picture of Kibiru would have put all these lot out of their distress.
In accordance with the 40-year-old’s model of occasions, Musk would have been simply 14-years-old and nonetheless in highschool when his alleged son was born.
And in Kenya, the age of consent is eighteen… so Kibiru would have successfully simply dobbed his mum in for breaking the regulation if these claims have been true.
In addition to this, eagle eyed social media customers noticed just a few inconsistencies in Kibiru’s selfie.
Though he seemed to be a carbon copy of Musk, folks consider the image was digitally manipulated utilizing AI.
“That is AI, take a look at the highest button on the man’s shirt,” one particular person identified. “There isn’t any gap for the button.”
“And the probabilities he would pose like this – with the very same beard, in entrance of essentially the most generic company blurred background like a mannequin?”
One other added: “AI. As a lot as I’d like to consider it.”
A 3rd wrote: “Nah, gotta be AI. The ears and hairline are too equivalent.”
Within the midst of this Jeremy Kyle-like debate about Kibiru’s alleged lineage, Musk’s Grok chatbot obtained suspended from X – its personal platform – which solely added extra gasoline to the hearth.
Some folks suspected the prankster pulling everyones leg about Musk’s Kenyan son had used Grok to supply the picture of ‘himself’ and steered that may be why the account obtained a timeout.
Regardless, it appears just like the variety of Musk’s youngsters hasn’t really risen any additional…for now, anyway.
