About

The Elon Musk Botched Penis Implant Rumor refers to a viral rumor that Elon Musk received a botched penile implant that left him impotent. The conspiracy theory spread en masse in early 2025, following discourse about the use of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogate mothers to birth most of his children, alluding to some that Musk was purportedly unable to perform. The speculation then sparked allegations claiming that Musk had a botched penis implant. The rumor was jumpstarted by American rapper and singer-songwriter Azealia Banks who stated on Twitter / X that fellow recording artist Grimes once told her that it was true. Grimes and Musk were romantically involved from 2018 to 2021 and had three children together. Only one of Musk's many children, Nevada Musk, was naturally born, which fueled speculation online about the theory.
