Who is Ashley St Clair, who claims to have given birth to Elon Musk's 13th child?
Though Musk was active on X following St Clair’s announcement, he chose to remain tight-lipped on the matter, fuelling speculation about his personal life
MAGA author and columnist Ashley St Clair has sparked a social media frenzy by claiming that she secretly gave birth to tech billionaire Elon Musk’s 13th child five months ago.
Taking to social media platform X, St Clair said, “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.”
“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,” she added.

No word from Musk
St Clair’s revelation has generated intense media scrutiny, with the Tesla CEO yet to confirm or deny the claim. However, her startling disclosure has certainly added another layer of complexity to Musk’s personal life that has constantly been in the spotlight on account of his multiple relationships and children with different women.
Though Musk was active on X following St Clair’s announcement, he chose to remain tight-lipped on the matter, fuelling further speculation about his personal life. If he confirms her claim then the child would be Musk’s 13th. The Tesla boss has at least 12 other children with three different women: Justine Wilson, Claire Elise Boucher (also known as Grimes), and Shivon Zilis.
