Elon Musk finally responded after conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair claimed she gave birth to his baby. The 26-year-old made the explosive announcement on X, revealing she and Musk share a five-month-old child.
A secret deal in the works?
Brian Glicklich, St. Clair’s representative, confirmed that the two had been working on an agreement about raising their child. He blamed the media for forcing them to go public. “Ashley and Elon have been privately working towards an agreement for some time,” he said. He added that a tabloid reporter disrupted the process, making confidentiality impossible.
Musk, the world’s richest man, reacted to a post on X that accused St. Clair of plotting for years to have his child. His one-word response? “Whoa.” That single reaction set the internet on fire.
St. Clair fires back!
St. Clair didn’t stay silent. She blasted Musk for responding to online gossip instead of addressing her directly. “Elon, we’ve been trying to reach you for days,” she wrote. “Why respond publicly to smears instead of talking to us?” She also accused the original poster of sharing inappropriate photos of her from when she was 15.
Musk’s expanding family
Musk already has 12 other children with three different women. With his first wife, Justine Wilson, he shares twins Vivian and Griffin and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian. He also has three children with pop star Grimes—X, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus. Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis is the mother of his twins, Strider and Azure.
A forced public revelation
St. Clair claimed she had no choice but to come forward. She said she wanted to protect her child’s privacy but accused the media of forcing her hand. “Tabloid reporters were going to reveal this regardless of the harm it would cause,” she wrote.
A final message before logging off
Hours later, St. Clair thanked supporters. “I wish I didn’t have to make a statement. Kids should be off-limits for journalists,” she posted before logging off.
Despite the shocking claims, Musk avoided addressing them directly. Instead, he kept posting about unrelated topics—mainly DOGE memes and other business ventures. Meanwhile, the internet continues to buzz with speculation.
