A MAGA influencer who claimed she has given birth to Elon Musk’s 13th child has shared messages she claimed led to the ‘secret baby’.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO, 53, has not denied or confirmed 26-year-old Ashley St. Clair’s claim, but issued a one-word response on X on Saturday evening, writing simply: ‘Whoa.’
His decision to go offline followed a series of rambling posts in the last few hours about unrelated matters, including the upcoming release of Grok 3, which Musk called the ‘smartest AI on Earth’.
The tech billionaire put the very unusual decision to take a break from X down to spending time sharpening the tool, writing: ‘Will be honing the product with the team all weekend, so offline until then.’
St. Clair revealed that she originally didn’t have much interest in ‘funny’ Musk, and said they first started talking when he ‘slid into my DM’s’.
The 26-year-old said she first became aware of the CEO when her ‘gay best friend’ asked her to watch videos of Musk’s SpaceX rocket launches.
She said she thinks the billionaire first sent her a meme and later asked if she was ever in San Francisco or Austin for work.
When she was 24 and the CEO was 51, she claimed they met at Twitter HQ for the first time, she told The New York Post.
Musk’s previous one-word reaction to St. Clair’s explosive claim was directed in response to another post suggesting the influencer had ‘plotted for HALF A DECADE to ensnare Elon Musk’.
But the young woman wasted no time in firing back, taking aim at Musk’s lack of engagement on the matter.
‘Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded,’ St. Claire wrote.
‘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?’ Within the hour, St. Clair’s biting response was removed from X.
In an earlier statement, she acknowledged the overwhelming response, thanking those who expressed kindness.
‘In all sincerity, appreciate the kind words. Wish I did not feel the need to make a statement. Kids should be off limits for journalists,’ she wrote, before hinting at a social media break.
The revelation that Musk – who has been married three times – and St. Clair allegedly share a child was made public by her on Friday.
‘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 stated.
Her representative, Brian Glicklich, reiterated her claims, emphasising that Musk and St. Clair had been ‘privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time.’
Comments from Musk on St Clair’s X posts in 2023 include him saying ‘the pull out method’ then ‘I obviously prefer the pull in method…’ when she posted a screenshot of a news article reading: ‘Wagnar Chief says his forces will pull back’.
She then posted a meme in reply that said: ‘Go to horny jail’.
St. Clair alleges the romance began with a simple direct message on Musk’s X platform.
‘Musk was very funny. He was smart. He was very down to Earth. It started with X interactions and he slid into my DMs. I think it was a meme,’ St. Clair said as she detailed how the back and forth soon blossomed into a clandestine romance.
In St. Clair’s stunning announcement she revealed how she was forced to go public after allegedly being asked to keep the pregnancy a secret.
‘I was told to keep it secret. I was being asked to keep it a secret forever,’ she admitted to the New York Post.
St. Clair’s camp insists there has been ongoing private discourse about Musk’s involvement in their child’s life although she agreed to leave the billionaire’s name off the birth certificate to preserve his privacy, security and confidentiality.
She alleges that Musk provided her with a lavish apartment in New York’s Financial District. Along with the residence came a security detail – but no public acknowledgment.
‘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 claimed.
‘I am a good mom. And that’s what drives most of my decisions and my kids are my whole world,’ she told The Post.
The influencer, who previously worked for the conservative satirical website The Babylon Bee, says she first met Musk in May 2023 after a sudden work trip to Twitter’s headquarters.
According to St. Clair, the relationship only intensified from there culminating in her pregnancy, which she alleges Musk was adamant about keeping under wraps.
St. Clair also admits she has not spoken with Musk since posting her revelation, though she did notify his team beforehand.
‘He ignored it,’ she claimed, but notes how she has no regrets and has chosen to chosen to keep the baby’s name and gender a secret.
‘My child is the most perfect thing that happened to me. I wouldn’t change anything,’ she insisted.
Now that the secret is finally out, St. Clair is hoping for Elon to publicly acknowledge the allegations.
Musk has 12 other children spanning multiple relationships.
His children include twins Vivian and Griffin and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian from his marriage to Justine Wilson. The couple divorced in 2008.
His high-profile relationship with musician Grimes led to the birth of three more children: X Æ A-Xii (known as ‘X’), Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus.
Musk also shares twins, Strider and Azure, with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis as well as a third child, a baby boy, revealed last summer.
If recent allegations are to be believed, a new child with conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair would extend Musk’s brood to 13
