Elon Musk's paternity claim: Writer reveals possible new heir
American writer Ashley St. Clair published a post on the X platform, where she revealed that she became a mother five months ago. The father of her child is claimed to be Elon Musk.
"Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father," writes Ashley St. Clair on the X platform. The 26-year-old claims she kept the identity of her child's father a secret to protect their privacy and safety. "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," St. Clair writes further.
The mother of the alleged child of a former advisor to Donald Trump has long-standing ties with the American right. Her profile has been featured by the "Daily Mail" among others.
Did Elon Musk welcome another child into the world?
Ashley St. Clair is an American conservative writer. She has been associated with the right-wing platform "Babylon Bee" for a long time. According to the "Daily Mail," she collaborated with a conservative youth organization until 2019. St. Clair is also the author of a children's book that discusses gender identity and criticizes the acceptance of transgender people.
For several years, foreign tabloids have hinted at a relationship between Ashley St. Clair and Elon Musk. Now the writer claims to have given birth to a child with the well-known entrepreneur five months ago.
"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," St. Clair emphasized in a post on platform X.
12 children with three different partners
Musk became a father in 2002 when his then-wife, Justine Wilson, gave birth to a boy named Nevada Alexander. Unfortunately, the child died after 10 weeks. Subsequently, twins Vivian and Griffin were born, followed by triplets Kaia, Saxon, and Damian.
Elon Musk has three children with the artist Grimes: X Æ A-12, Exy Dark Sideræl Musk, and Techna Mechanicus. With Shivon Zilis, he has twins named Strider and Azure. The last of the 12 children was born in 2024; the mother is also Shivon, but the child's name and gender are not known.
The businessman and former Trump advisor has not yet commented on Ashley St. Clair's post or the birth of the alleged additional child.
