Ashley St. Clair Alleges Elon Musk Fathered Her 13th Child
Claim and Background
Ashley St. Clair, a conservative influencer and former writer for The Babylon Bee, has publicly announced that she gave birth to a child fathered by Elon Musk five months ago. St. Clair, who amassed over 1.1 million followers on Musk’s platform X, broke her silence on Friday to protect her child’s privacy from tabloid media.
St. Clair stated in her statement: "Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father." She has withheld the news to safeguard her child’s well-being but now fears that tabloids will expose it regardless. She appealed to the media to respect her child’s privacy.
Musk, the tech mogul and head of President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has not officially responded to the allegation.
Social Media Interactions
Twitter users, upon seeing a screenshot of a 2020 exchange on X where St. Clair discussed Musk’s multiple children and his alleged rapid relationship turnover, accused St. Clair of plotting to entrap Musk for half a decade. Musk responded with a surprised "Whoa."
St. Clair quickly reached out to Musk, inquiring when he would acknowledge her and address "smears" from third parties instead of responding publicly to them.
Spokesperson’s Statement
St. Clair’s spokesperson, Brian Glicklich, released a statement on Saturday, confirming the discussions between St. Clair and Musk over a parental agreement. He expressed disappointment that tabloids had made it impossible to complete the process discreetly. Glicklich stated that St. Clair expects Musk to acknowledge his parental role and swiftly finalize their agreement for the child’s best interests.
New York Post Interview
St. Clair granted an exclusive interview and photo shoot to the New York Post on Saturday. She revealed that her interactions with Musk began through X in 2023. The Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon arranged a meeting with Musk at Twitter headquarters in San Francisco.
After the meeting, St. Clair received a text from Musk inviting her to Providence, Rhode Island, that night. She disclosed that she later became pregnant and was instructed to keep it a secret.
Musk’s Financial Support
According to St. Clair, Musk provided financial support during her pregnancy, including funding her luxury Manhattan apartment and security detail. However, their romantic relationship has since ended.
The Post reported reviewing text messages allegedly between St. Clair and Jared Birchall, Musk’s money manager and Neuralink CEO, which purportedly corroborated her claims. St. Clair expressed that she was pressured to keep her pregnancy confidential and isolated during that time.
Musk’s Family
Musk has been a vocal advocate for increasing birth rates in the West. Last week, he brought his son X Æ A-Xii, shared with ex-girlfriend Grimes, to the Oval Office during a televised meeting with President Trump.
Musk also has daughter Exa Dark Sideræl and son Techno Mechanicus with Grimes. He shares six children with ex-wife Justine Wilson, including twins Vivian and Griffin, triplets Kai, Damian, and Saxon, and Nevada Alexander, who passed away at 10 weeks old. Additionally, Musk has three children with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, including twins Strider and Azure, and a third child whose name remains undisclosed.
