Ashley St. Clair, a 31-year-old author and influencer, has claimed that she secretly gave birth to Elon Musk’s 13th child. The revelation came through a post on X (formerly Twitter) on February 14, 2025, where St. Clair announced, “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father”.
“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father. I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause, ” she wrote.
Who is Ashley St. Clair?
Ashley St. Clair is known for her conservative political commentary and media presence. She has authored a children’s book titled Elephants Are Not Birds, which is published by BRAVE Books. She has also been a vocal supporter of conservative ideologies and has often been seen at events with prominent conservative figures. She recently resurfaced on social media after a long hiatus, sharing a throwback image from Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration.
St. Clair explained that she had kept the news private to protect her child’s safety and privacy but decided to speak out after learning that tabloid media was preparing to break the story. She urged the media to respect her child’s privacy and refrain from invasive reporting.
Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has not directly addressed St. Clair’s claim. However, he responded to a fan’s comment about fathering another child with a laughing emoji. If St. Clair’s claim is true, this would mark Musk’s 13th child across four relationships.
