A Chinese billionaire is the father of hundreds of children born to surrogate mothers in the US. The man hopes that they will marry Elon Musk's children
A Chinese billionaire who is said to have fathered more than 100 children born in the US to surrogate mothers through agencies hopes his offspring will one day marry Elon Musk's children and create an extended family dynasty, according to the New York Post.
Xu Bo, 48, founder of online gaming company Duoyi, calls himself “first father of china”. The man expressed his determination to have at least “50 high-quality sons,” according to social media posts verified as his by the Wall Street Journal, which has written extensively about the case.
His company later posted on social media that Xu already has more than 100 children via surrogate mother in the US, the publication said.
The story exploded on Chinese social media after Xu's ex-girlfriend revealed that he is the father of more than 300 children.
“This number might be an underestimate, but it's certainly not an exaggeration”Tang Jing, Xu's ex-girlfriend, said in a Nov. 15 post, according to the India Times.
The pair are now embroiled in a custody battle over their two daughters, with Xu claiming his ex-wife owes him millions of dollars in expenses he has paid over the years – without responding to claims he has fathered hundreds of children.
In a video posted in 2022 by an account associated with Xu, dozens of boys jump from their chairs and rush towards the cameraman, shouting “Daddy!” in chinese.
“Imagine a bunch of babies rushing towards you – how do you feel?” reads the video's caption, according to the publication.
A representative for Duoyi told the Journal that “much of what you described is untrue.”
Xu's mission to build a family dynasty is said to have been inspired by Musk, who is rumored to be offering sperm to friends and family in a bid to build his bloodline, claims denied by the Tesla titan.
Xu posted fantasies on Weibo that his offspring would one day marry Musk's children, according to the Journal.

Two years ago, a California judge ruled on Xu's petitions to obtain parental rights for four unborn children, as well as at least eight other children conceived through surrogacy. The judge immediately called a confidential video hearing.
The billionaire told the judge he hopes to have 20 or more US-born children — boys, precisely because they're superior — to one day take over the business.
Many of his children reportedly lived in a house in Irvine, California, and were raised by nannies.
Xu told the judge that he had not met them yet because he had been busy at work, but said he planned to bring them to China soon.
The judge denied his parental rights petition.
