Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair has publicly claimed that Elon Musk is the father of her child, born five months ago.
St. Clair, a children's book author and former Babylon Bee employee, made the announcement on X, the social media platform owned by Musk, citing the need to protect her child's privacy amidst rumors of impending media exposure.
Musk's Cryptic Response and St. Clair's Plea
Musk's initial reaction to the claim was a simple "Whoa" in response to a user suggesting St. Clair had been planning to "ensnare" him for years. St. Clair then publicly called out Musk for not responding to her attempts at private communication, demanding he address the matter directly instead of reacting to "smears."
Spokesperson Confirms Ongoing Discussions
St. Clair's spokesperson, Brian Glicklich, confirmed that she and Musk had been working privately on a co-parenting agreement. He expressed disappointment that a tabloid reporter's actions had disrupted this process, adding that they await Musk's public acknowledgment of paternity to quell further speculation and finalize the agreement.
St. Clair's Exclusive Interview and Evidence
Following her public statement, St. Clair gave an exclusive interview to the New York Post, detailing her interactions with Musk and the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy. She claims to have met Musk in 2023 after interacting on X, and that their relationship led to her pregnancy.
She alleges that Musk provided financial support during her pregnancy, including a luxury apartment and security detail, but that their relationship has since ended. The Post claims to have seen text messages between St. Clair and Musk's money manager, Jared Birchall, seemingly corroborating her claims.
Allegations of Secrecy and Isolation
St. Clair told the Post she was pressured to keep the pregnancy a secret, leading to isolation and the cessation of her career activities. She claims she was instructed to remain silent indefinitely.
Musk's Silence and Past Comments on Birth Rate
While Musk has actively posted on X about other topics, including his various companies and projects, he has yet to directly address St. Clair's claims. Notably, Musk has been a vocal proponent of increasing birth rates in the West, citing concerns about population decline.
Background on Musk's Children
This alleged child would be Musk's 13th. He has children with multiple partners, including Grimes and Shivon Zilis. He has also spoken openly about the importance of having children.
Media Scrutiny and Lack of Official Response
The allegations have sparked significant media attention. Fox News Digital reports that Neuralink, where both Birchall and Musk are involved, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The story continues to develop as the public awaits further statements from Musk and those involved.
