Why Elon Musk’s ‘baby mama’ Ashley St. Clair went public

Ashley St. Clair, a 26-year-old conservative influencer, has publicly accused Elon Musk of ignoring her attempts to communicate, leading her to reveal that they share a child. The revelation, made in a bombshell post on X, came on the evening of Valentine’s Day, with St. Clair claiming she had no choice due to “tabloid media” investigating her private life.

However, an acquaintance of St. Clair suggests a different motive. MAGA activist Kylie Kremer alleges that St. Clair was frustrated after being ghosted by Musk and acted out in anger.

“Seems like she wasn’t getting what she wanted, was emotional & hurt on Valentine’s Day & decided to parade her crazy on the front porch,” Kremer posted on X.

Public showdown after Musk’s appearance with another woman

Adding fuel to the speculation, Musk was photographed on Valentine’s Day with Shivon Zilis, the mother of three of his children, during a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. St. Clair reportedly took issue with Musk prioritizing Zilis and their children while allegedly ignoring her.

Kremer pointed to this as the likely reason behind St. Clair’s outburst, writing: “I’ve known for a while. It appears she was upset about this photo on Valentine’s Day. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned…”

St. Clair’s response and Musk’s silence

St. Clair’s spokesperson, Brian Glicklich, dismissed Kremer’s claims as “ridiculous and wrong,” asserting that St. Clair and Musk had been working privately on an agreement regarding their child.

Glicklich also criticized Kremer for spreading disinformation, including a rumor that St. Clair’s child was genetically modified using CRISPR technology.

Meanwhile, Musk has not directly addressed St. Clair’s claim that he fathered her child. However, he did respond with a shocked “Whoa” to a post alleging that St. Clair had been planning to “marry” him for five years.

Lavish lifestyle raises questions about Musk’s financial support

Despite her influencer career, St. Clair’s upscale Manhattan lifestyle has sparked speculation about whether Musk is funding her. She reportedly lives in a luxury high-rise apartment, where rent is estimated between $12,000 and $15,000 per month. Neighbors have also claimed she employs a full-time nanny and has been seen driving a Tesla Cybertruck.

A source close to St. Clair denied that she owns a Cybertruck, but her X earnings—reportedly ranging from $605 to $7,526 per payout—have led many to question how she affords her lavish lifestyle.

Right-wing circles claim to have known about the child for months

Musk’s paternity rumors were allegedly an “open secret” in conservative media circles. Former Breitbart UK editor Raheem Kassam claimed he had been aware of St. Clair’s child with Musk for nearly a year.

“Lol I’ve known about the Ashley St. Clair and Elon stuff for almost a year. You guys are hilarious, who cares, focus on the work,” Kassam wrote.

As speculation continues, Musk has opted for a social media break, leaving the public to wonder whether he will ever officially confirm or deny St. Clair’s claims.
