Ashley St. Clair, a conservative influencer and author, has made a surprising claim: she has a child with the world’s richest man, Elon Musk.
In the surprising social media revelation, which is now taking the internet by storm, the conservative influencer publicly claimed that tech billionaire Elon Musk is the father of her five-month-old child.
St. Clair made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) late Friday night, stating: “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.”
Her post, captioned “Alea iacta est”—Latin for *”the die is cast”—*suggests that she had kept the information private until now to protect her child’s safety.
Ashley St. Clair, Privacy Concerns and Media Scrutiny
In the statement she made on social media, Ashley St. Clair explained why she had not made the revelation before now. She claimed that she had chosen not to disclose the information earlier to ensure her child’s well-being. However, she alleged that media outlets were preparing to report on the matter, prompting her to take control of the narrative.
“I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy and refrain from invasive reporting.”
However, as of now, Elon Musk has not publicly acknowledged St. Clair’s claims. Also, his legal team has yet to respond to inquiries regarding the allegations.
Elon Musk’s Expanding Family
If Ashley St. Clair’s claims are confirmed, then this child would be Musk’s 13th, adding to his growing family with multiple partners. The billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO shares five children with his first wife, author Justine Wilson—twins Vivian and Griffin, and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian.
The world’s richest man also has three children with musician Grimes: X Æ A-12 (often referred to as “X”), Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus. Additionally, Musk shares twins, Strider and Azure, with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
Social Media Reaction To Ashley St. Clair
Following her surprising announcement, Ashley St. Clair received mixed reactions from people on the internet. And then, three hours after her initial post, she declared that she would be offline for some time. She thanked supporters and declared her intention to step away from social media.
“In all sincerity, appreciate the kind words. Wish I did not feel the need to make a statement. Kids should be off-limits for journalists. Will be spending time with my family & logging off for a while.”
Meanwhile, Musk remained active on social media, posting on unrelated topics shortly after St. Clair’s claim.
St. Clair’s Recent Public Appearances
Ashley St. Clair, who has maintained a relatively low public profile in recent months, was spotted at a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden earlier this week, dressed in Balenciaga. She also recently ended a 40-week hiatus on Instagram, posting a photo from former President Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration.
As the story unfolds, all eyes remain on Musk and whether he will address the claims publicly.
