Shocking Claim: Writer Reveals Secret Birth of Elon Musk’s Child!

Children’s author Ashley St. Clair has made headlines after revealing that she secretly gave birth to Elon Musk’s child. In a shocking social media post on February 14, she claimed that the billionaire entrepreneur is the father of her newborn baby, marking his 13th child.

A Secret Kept for Months

St. Clair took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the news, writing: “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into this world. Elon Musk is the father.”

She explained that she had initially chosen to keep the information private to protect her child’s safety and well-being. However, she decided to go public to prevent misinformation and speculation.

“I intend to let my child grow up in a normal and safe environment. Therefore, I ask the media to respect our child’s privacy and avoid invasive reporting,” she added.

Along with her post, she included the Latin phrase “Alea lacta Est”—which translates to “The die is cast”—symbolizing her firm decision to speak out. The revelation quickly gained traction, amassing over 35 million views.

Musk’s Response and St. Clair’s Claims

Elon Musk has not provided a clear confirmation or denial regarding the recent claims involving his alleged relationship with St. Clair. However, he did react to a post suggesting that St. Clair had spent “half a decade” attempting to connect with him. Musk’s brief and cryptic response, “Whoa,” added a layer of intrigue to the unfolding story.

St. Clair, in turn, encouraged Musk to address the situation directly with her team rather than engaging with unverified online chatter. Her response hinted at a desire for transparency and a more formal approach to the conversation.

During an interview with the New York Post on February 15, St. Clair shared insights into her connection with Musk. She described the tech mogul as “funny, intelligent, and pragmatic.” However, she also alleged that Musk preferred to keep their child a secret, and suggesting a complex and potentially private dynamic between the two.

St. Clair recounted that their relationship began with public interactions on X (formerly Twitter), which eventually transitioned into private messaging in 2023. Interestingly, she mentioned that, initially, she didn’t have much interest in Musk beyond his high-profile acquisition of Twitter in 2022. Their conversations took a more personal turn when Musk inquired whether she had ever visited San Francisco or Austin. At the time, she was living in Austin and working for Babylon Bee, and a satirical news website.

Things escalated quickly when Seth Dillon, CEO of Babylon Bee, extended an invitation for her to visit San Francisco within just 48 hours. This trip led to her first face-to-face meeting with Musk at Twitter’s headquarters. St. Clair recalled an unexpected and bold gesture from Musk following the interview: “After the interview, he texted me: ‘Do you want to come to Providence, Rhode Island tonight?’” This invitation suggested a sudden and personal interest, adding to the mystery surrounding their relationship.

A Secret Relationship and Isolation

According to St. Clair, their relationship evolved from that meeting until she became pregnant. She claimed that Musk insisted on secrecy, preventing her from even telling close friends about the baby.

“I was forced to keep quiet, to keep this secret forever,” she said, though she declined to provide evidence proving Musk’s paternity.

During her pregnancy, St. Clair said Musk arranged for her to stay in a luxury apartment in the Financial District, where rent for a two-bedroom unit can reach $40,000 per month. She also had a strong security team at her disposal. However, she described feeling completely isolated.

“I couldn’t take on any work or do the things I used to do. I was told not to tell anyone,” she shared.

Online Harassment and Stalker Threats

St. Clair, who is a social media influencer, went completely silent on Instagram during her pregnancy. She only returned to the platform in January 2025 with a photo from an event she attended.

After her announcement, she faced online harassment from Musk’s devoted fans, who doubted her claims and accused her of fabricating the story. Some even began targeting her first child, whom she had with a previous partner.

“They called me awful names and even threatened my toddler,” she said tearfully.

Why She Spoke Out

Initially, St. Clair intended to remain silent about the situation, but she claims that media scrutiny and relentless speculation forced her to come forward.

“I’m sad that the media is pushing me to go public with this, but I’m also relieved. For nearly a year, I have lived in secrecy. It’s painful as a mother to have to lie about your own child,” she admitted.

She also stated that she has not been in direct contact with Musk since making her post but had previously informed his team about her decision to speak out.

Legal and Custody Battles

Brian Glickin, St. Clair’s representative, provided further details about the situation. He revealed that she and Musk had been working privately on a long-term custody agreement. However, a journalist allegedly ambushed St. Clair and her family, disrupting the process.

“We are waiting for Musk to acknowledge his role as the child’s father to put an end to baseless speculation. St. Clair believes he intends to resolve this quickly in the best interest of their child,” Glickin wrote on X.

Musk’s Growing Family

If St. Clair’s claims are true, this would bring Elon Musk’s total number of children to 13.

Musk has five children with his first wife, Justine Wilson, although their firstborn tragically passed away at just 10 weeks old. He later had three children with singer Grimes and three more with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.

What’s Next?

Despite the controversy, St. Clair remains focused on protecting her child’s privacy. She has not disclosed the baby’s name or gender but reassured that the child is “happy and healthy.”

As speculation continues, the world waits to see if Musk will address the claims—or if this will remain one of the many mysteries surrounding the billionaire’s personal life.
