Amber Heard once claimed she wanted to become a mother “on her own terms,” insisting her private life was “nobody’s business.” But with recent revelations surfacing, the internet is ablaze with one burning question: Is Elon Musk—the richest man in the world and Heard’s ex—actually the father of her baby, and is that the reason he’s still financially supporting her?
The drama picks up after the explosive defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, where Heard was ordered to pay Depp $10.35 million in damages. But according to her lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft, Amber simply cannot afford to pay. That’s where Musk allegedly comes in—again.
During the court proceedings, it was revealed that Elon Musk made a $500,000 donation to the ACLU in Heard’s name, part of the $3.5 million she had pledged to donate from her divorce settlement with Depp. In fact, she promised to split the entire $7 million she received—half to the ACLU and half to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. But so far, Musk seems to be the only one who actually coughed up any cash.
So why would Musk still be helping Heard, years after their on-and-off relationship ended in 2018? The answer may lie in a frozen embryo—or rather, a baby born from one.
According to a 2020 report by The Mirror, a friend of Heard’s late mother claimed that Amber and Elon created embryos together during their relationship. When things went south, Musk allegedly tried to have them destroyed—but Heard wanted to keep them in hopes of having a child. That child, born via surrogate in 2021, is now at the center of a firestorm of speculation.
Heard made the birth announcement on Instagram, never naming a father and declaring, “I decided I wanted to have a child. I wanted to do it on my own terms.” But internet sleuths and fans weren’t convinced. A photo comparing Musk’s features with Heard’s daughter went viral, with many insisting the resemblance is undeniable.
Some speculate that the baby is Heard’s “insurance policy” against financial ruin. As one Twitter user put it, “Is it possible that Amber Heard’s baby is fathered by Elon Musk, and that’s why he provides her with private jets and financial support?” Another added, “Elon said civilization would crumble without more babies, but he didn’t even want the embryos with Amber. That says everything.”
Even Depp himself seemed obsessed with the Musk connection during his trial, reportedly suspecting that Elon was having an affair with Heard while they were still married. Depp’s former agent even testified that Heard and Musk’s relationship began before her split from Depp was finalized.
The web of accusations, drama, and potential legal entanglements grows even more tangled when you consider that Heard hasn’t denied or confirmed any of these rumors. And Musk, for all his tweeting and headline-making antics, has remained noticeably silent on the topic.
But the big question remains: is he still footing Amber’s bills out of guilt, obligation, or because he truly is the biological father of her daughter?
Whatever the truth is, it’s clear this story isn’t over. Musk’s alleged role in Heard’s finances and her motherhood journey continues to ignite furious debate online. Some see Heard as a strong woman doing whatever it takes to survive in a man’s world. Others see her as manipulative, using a child and a billionaire ex as tools in a long game of survival and wealth.
So, what do you think? Is Elon Musk really the father of Amber Heard’s baby girl? And is she using that connection as leverage to keep him close—and his wallet open?
