The rumor mill is churning, and the subject is none other than tech mogul Elon Musk. Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair has dropped a bombshell on social media, claiming she gave birth to Musk's child just five months ago. In now-viral post on X (formerly Twitter), St. Clair, 31, declared, "Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father."3 She even added the Latin phrase "Alea iacta est" – "the die is cast" – suggesting this isn't a claim she's making lightly. The internet is with the buzz and exploding the social media.
St. Clair's announcement, while surprising, wasn't entirely out of the blue. She explained that she initially chose to keep the news private, for her child's safety and well-being. However, she alleges that the tabloid media heard the story from the grapevine and were preparing to publish it against her wishes. To control the media frenzy, St. Clair decided to take control of the narrative and reveal the news herself. She's now asking the media to respect her child's privacy, and refrain from overplaying the news from reporting.
Elon Musk, is silent on this and he is yet to answer the claim about the baby, but his X account remains active, buzzing with his usual commentary on everything from space exploration to artificial intelligence. Yet, there's been no mention, no acknowledgment, of St. Clair's claim. This silence is fuelling the speculation, leaving everyone wondering what the truth really is. Is Musk preparing a statement? Is he disputing the claim? Or is he simply choosing to ignore it altogether?
If St. Clair's claim is true, this would be Musk's thirteenth child, adding another chapter to his already complex family life. He has five children with his first wife, Justine Wilson, including twins and triplets. He also shares three children with singer Grimes, including the famously named X Æ A-Xii. Musk and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis had welcomed twins in 202. It's a modern family dynamic that's certainly garnered its fair share of attention.
St. Clair's post on X also included a message of gratitude to those who had offered her kind words. She expressed regret that she felt compelled to make such a public announcement, adding that "kids should be off-limits for journalists. She then stated her intention to step away from the platform and spend time with her family. It's clear that this is a deeply personal matter for St. Clair.
Whether or not Musk eventually responds to St. Clair's claims, but this has already made waves.
