Ashley St. Clair has thrust herself into the spotlight, claiming she is the mother of Elon Musk’s 13th child and accusing the billionaire of refusing to acknowledge the baby. The tech mogul, known for his leadership in companies like Tesla and SpaceX, is accustomed to managing multiple priorities. However, his complex love life has sparked comparisons to scenarios reminiscent of an imperial court, filled with intrigue and power struggles.
St. Clair, 26, made her claims following Musk's public appearances with his other children and their mothers. Prior to this, St. Clair was recognized as a right-wing culture advocate on X, known for her bold conservative opinions. Recently, she seems to be vying for Musk's attention, who is openly keen on expanding his family. Musk is often seen with his son X Æ A-12, affectionately referred to as “Lil X,” whom he shares with singer Grimes.
Lil X has been a prominent figure in Musk's public life, even participating in high-profile events such as President Donald Trump's inauguration. Meanwhile, another mother of Musk's children, Shivon Zilis, a Neuralink executive, has been spotted with him at various events, underscoring the complex dynamics of Musk’s personal relationships.
The saga with St. Clair has escalated, with her revealing to The Post that she faces threats and abuse from Musk's fans. Despite the public drama, Musk has not confirmed St. Clair’s claims of parenthood.
On Valentine’s Day, St. Clair took to the Musk-owned X platform, claiming Musk as her child’s father. Formerly a contributor at The Babylon Bee, St. Clair revealed she gave birth last fall. In an interview, she described Musk as “down to earth” and expressed that he wished to keep their son hidden for safety reasons.
The narrative took a twist as Musk and St. Clair engaged in a social media spat. Musk responded to a post suggesting St. Clair's attempts to “ensnare” him with a simple “whoa.” St. Clair later accused Musk of ignoring her and publicly addressing online “smears.”
The controversy has drawn reactions from conservative influencers. “Trad wife” H. Pearl Davis sarcastically congratulated St. Clair on single motherhood, while columnist Bethany Mandel suggested having a resident “baby daddy” to avoid public disputes.
Musk reportedly has at least 12 children with four different women over the past 22 years. His romantic entanglements have been likened to historical royal court dynamics, with even Grimes acknowledging the resemblance in a viral thread. Musk’s first child, Nevada Alexander, was born in 2002 but tragically passed away at 10 weeks old. He had five more children with ex-wife Justine Wilson, including twins and triplets.
Musk’s relationships have included actress Amber Heard and singer Grimes, with whom he shares three children. Court documents revealed Musk also fathered children with Zilis, highlighting his expanding family.
Since St. Clair’s announcement, Musk has remained mostly silent on the matter, instead focusing on promoting the latest version of his chatbot, Grok. Despite the ongoing drama, Musk has expressed his desire for a large family, citing the declining birth rate as a significant threat to civilization. His growing family has garnered support from fans, viewing his fatherhood as yet another of Musk's intriguing ventures.
