New York, NY – Billionaire right-wing entrepreneur Elon Musk has reportedly fathered his 13th child, according to an announcement made by 26-year-old conservative influencer Ashley St Clair on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), late on Valentine’s Day.
In a post revealing the news, St Clair wrote:
“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.”
The influencer, who has previously drawn controversy for her connections to far-right circles, stated that she had chosen to keep the child’s existence private out of concern for their 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,” she wrote.
Expressing a desire to raise the child in a “normal and safe environment”, she urged the media to respect their privacy and refrain from invasive coverage.
Musk Responds with Cryptic Reaction
Following the revelation, Musk, 52, appeared to acknowledge the claim in a cryptic response on X. When a fan described his ever-growing family as just another of his “side quests”, Musk reacted with a weird laughing emoji—a response that only fueled further speculation.
The news has sparked widespread discussion, particularly given Musk’s public advocacy for population growth. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO has repeatedly spoken about the importance of increasing birth rates, warning of a potential “population collapse.”
A High-Profile Private Life
St Clair’s alleged relationship with Musk had remained out of the public eye until now. DailyMail.com reported that she relocated about a year ago to a luxury apartment in Manhattan, near City Hall, with an estimated rent between $12,000 and $15,000 per month. It is unclear whether Musk played any role in facilitating her move.
While Musk has yet to confirm or deny the claim directly, the revelation adds another chapter to his already complex family dynamic. The billionaire has fathered children with multiple women, including Canadian musician Grimes and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
As public interest in Musk’s personal life continues to grow, it remains to be seen whether he will formally address the matter—or whether he will, as he has done in the past, let speculation run its course.
