On March 18th, it was reported that a man from Masai Mara, Kenya, claimed to be the illegitimate son of billionaire Elon Musk, accompanied by a selfie of himself.

The man stated that in the 1990s, Elon Musk had visited the JW Marriott hotel in the area, where his mother was working as a manager at the time.

What's interesting is that Musk didn't outright deny the whole thing right away. Instead, he asked the guy to undergo a bunch of tests in the US, and only if he passed, would he be acknowledged.

After that, he started a crowdfunding campaign online, asking locals to chip in a buck each to sponsor his trip to the States.

While he bears a striking resemblance to Musk, many have pointed out that he appears to be of a similar age, leading some to speculate that he may be more like a long-lost brother rather than a biological son. What's your take on this?
