Elon Musk has allegedly fathered a thirteenth child with 26-year-old conservative influencer Ashley St Clair. She made the shocking announcement on his social media platform, X, on Friday night, revealing that she has been raising the baby in secret for the past five months.
Ashley St Clair’s Valentine’s Day revelation
St Clair, known for her controversial conservative views, dropped the bombshell in a Valentine’s Day post. She stated, “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.” She explained her silence, claiming she wanted to protect her child’s privacy. However, she felt compelled to speak out due to impending tabloid reports.
Musk’s cryptic response
Shortly after her announcement, Musk responded to a fan’s comment about his many “side quests” with a crying-laughing emoji. His reaction left followers speculating whether he was confirming or dismissing St Clair’s claim.
St Clair’s lavish Manhattan lifestyle
Reports indicate that St Clair moved into a high-end Manhattan apartment near City Hall about a year ago. The condo, which costs between $12,000 and $15,000 per month, has housed numerous celebrities and VIPs. Neighbors noted that she was one of the first to own a Tesla Cybertruck, raising questions about her financial situation. Residents also observed that she appeared to be living as a single mother with a full-time nanny caring for her two children.
Musk’s growing brood
Musk, 53, has at least twelve other children with three women: author Justine Wilson, musician Grimes (Claire Elise Boucher), and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. His list of rumored past relationships is extensive, fueling speculation about whether St Clair truly gave birth to his latest child.
Public flirtation between Musk and St Clair
For months, St Clair and Musk have engaged in public flirtation on X. Since May 2023, their interactions have included risqué jokes about “dick pics,” suggestive remarks about “pulling out,” and discussions about “how babies are made.” He even wished her a happy birthday, sent heart emojis, and recommended books to her, emphasizing that this era is the “absolute best time in history to have kids!”
St Clair’s conservative persona and secretive behavior
Originally from Florida and raised in Colorado, St Clair has built a million-strong following on X with her right-wing views. She has authored an anti-woke children’s book and been criticized for associating with far-right figures. Friends sensed something was amiss when she allegedly asked them to sign NDAs amid rumors of her connection to Musk. At her Manhattan residence, she maintained a high level of security, even installing a Ring camera despite the building’s strict security measures.
Pregnancy and post-birth rise in MAGA circles
St Clair kept her pregnancy under wraps, avoiding public appearances and cropping herself out of on-camera moments. However, after giving birth, she continued her ascent in MAGA circles, attending Trump’s election night party at Mar-a-Lago. She shared photos of herself at Trump’s estate alongside high-profile conservatives like Matt Gaetz’s wife, Ginger, and GOP spokeswoman Elizabeth Pipko. She has also been seen with Vivek Ramaswamy and Trump’s FBI Director pick, Kash Patel.
No sightings of Musk at St Clair’s home
Despite the claims of their connection, staff at St Clair’s luxury condo say they have never seen Musk. A resident familiar with her living situation stated that if Musk had visited, the building would have had to implement significant security measures. “The Elon Musk thing doesn’t surprise me,” said one neighbor, pointing out her early adoption of the Cybertruck. However, a source close to St Clair denied that she owns one.
Mystery surrounding the alleged baby
Residents say they have seen no men visiting St Clair’s apartment, located on one of the building’s highest floors, which commands a premium rent. “I have never seen any indication of any man coming in or out of there,” one source claimed. “She’s not particularly social with other residents. There’s definitely a baby, and I believe there’s a toddler as well. Her nanny is very much full-time.“
St Clair’s past remarks on parenting
St Clair has previously spoken out about raising children in an era of progressive ideology. In a 2021 interview with the New York Post, she expressed fears about gender identity discussions affecting her child. “I am going to have a little boy in November, and it’s scary to think he could come home and say, ‘My friends all identify as something else,’ and have my son crying because he’s not put on hormone replacement therapy,” she said.
George Santos defends St Clair
Disgraced ex-congressman George Santos, a friend of St Clair’s, rushed to defend her on X. He vowed to protect her and her child from anyone trying to “exploit or expose” them. “I admire your strength and fight to protect your kids,” he wrote, calling her a “phenomenal mother.”
Musk’s views on family and parenthood
Musk has long advocated for large families, warning that civilization will “crumble” if people don’t have more children. He has fathered multiple children across three different relationships. He made headlines when he attended a press conference with Donald Trump at the Oval Office, bringing along his four-year-old son, X Æ A-12. Even Trump appeared mesmerized by the child, who was seen whispering in the president’s ear.
Ongoing custody battles and relationship drama
Musk’s romantic and parental history is filled with drama. His first wife, Justine Wilson, bore him five children through IVF after their first child, Nevada, tragically died of SIDS. Later, he had three children with Grimes, but their relationship soured, leading to a heated custody battle. Grimes accused Musk of preventing her from seeing their children and sued for parental rights. Meanwhile, Musk fathered twins with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his company Neuralink.
Musk’s stance on population growth
Musk has repeatedly stated that declining birth rates pose a major risk to civilization. He once declared that he is “doing his best to help the underpopulation crisis,” emphasizing that “a collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far.” He has encouraged intelligent people to have children and allegedly sought to be the sperm donor for Zilis’s children.
Musk’s growing family continues to make headlines, and speculation around St Clair’s alleged baby adds another layer to his complex personal life. Whether her claims are true or not, one thing is clear: the world is watching. As Musk himself once said, “Failure to issue a press release does not mean ‘secret.’“
