PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk is back in the headlines after conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair claimed she had his 13th child.
On Friday, February 14, St. Clair, 26, triggered a social media frenzy when she revealed that she gave birth to Musk’s baby five months ago. However, Musk has yet to publicly acknowledge the child.
Instead, Musk chose to respond to a five-year-old post from St. Clair, which has led people to question the situation. The resurfaced post has fueled accusations that St. Clair was publicly trying to get Musk’s attention.

Ashley St. Clair’s 5-year-old tweet resurfaces
Social media detectives dug deep, and what they uncovered raised some serious eyebrows.
Five years ago, St. Clair openly tweeted, “I need to get Elon Musk’s attention for a marriage proposal pls Greg.”
Her friend, Greg Price, expressed doubt, pointing out that Musk already had a child, and it seemed “unlikely to work out.”
Undeterred, St. Clair replied, “Well, he actually has 7 kids & goes through women pretty fast,” with a hint of humor.
The old exchange resurfaced when X user @Nero shared it, accusing, “Ashley St Clair plotted for HALF A DECADE to ensnare Elon Musk.”

Musk responded with a simple word: “Whoa.”
Whoa

Within minutes of Musk’s brief response, St. Clair fired back, accusing him of ignoring her while opting to engage with online rumors instead.
“Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded. When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?” she remarked.
She quickly deleted the response, but not before the internet captured screenshots.
I knew @stclairashley would dirty delete her comment, and she just did. She was sounding pretty desperate and it was awkward AF.

Ashley St. Clair claims Elon Musk requested she keep pregnancy secret
In a stunning interview with the New York Post, Ashley St. Clair revealed that Elon Musk had actually asked her to keep the entire pregnancy a secret. She described Musk as “funny” and “down to Earth,” but acknowledged that he wanted to keep their child’s birth hidden for “safety reasons.”
While she refused to disclose her son’s name, she assured the outlet that he is “happy and healthy” and expressed her joy, saying, “My child is the most perfect thing that happened to me. I wouldn’t change anything.”
St. Clair claimed that Musk arranged for her to stay in a luxurious apartment with security, but did not offer any form of relationship. She said she spent her pregnancy in total isolation, following Musk’s alleged request to keep his name off the birth certificate.
“I was completely isolated during my pregnancy. Every part of my career and everything I used to do I couldn’t do anymore. I was told not to tell anybody,” she explained. St. Clair said she was willing to remain silent in order to protect her baby’s privacy.
However, when a tabloid began investigating and seemed ready to break the story, St. Clair decided to reveal the truth herself.
