Is it true that the ocean is salty because whales ejaculate in it?

do you think ejaculation is composed of salt?

That would be a whole lot of ejaculate. Like everyone else said, no, the ocean is salty because of the minerals.
However, some (most if not all I believe) species of whales rise to the surface of the ocean to mate. Usually there are several males trying to mate with one female and the males have highly mobile and very long (12ft or so depending on the species) penises. They can ejaculate with such force that they actually blow the sperm of any male who previously deposited from the vaginal opening of the female.

No, it's not true. The ocean is salty due to mineral runoff contained in rivers. Rivers bring salts and other minerals from the mountainous sources down through their courses into the sea. Evaporation only removes water, not minerals, so the minerals remain in the sea. Mineral levels remain constant over time due to geological processes on the ocean floor.

No it's not true
because the " dead sea " in Israel is salty (33% is the concentration of salt ) and there is no life in it .
and because of that the salt comes from the falling rocks into the water .

oceans are salty because of the decaying animal matters and salts from rocks
