Did Elon Musk father a 13th child with a MAGA protégé? Ashley St. Clair, 26-year-old right-wing influencer, makes sensational claim, requests privacy

A 26-year-old MAGA protégé, Ashley St. Clair, took to X recently to make a sensational claim that she had a child with Elon Musk.

Ashley St. Clair contributes to the conservative satirical news site The Babylon Bee and appears on Fox News on a semi-regular basis, according to the Daily Beast.

She wrote that she welcomed a new baby into the world five months ago. The dad is Elon Musk. In order to safeguard their child's safety and privacy, she has not previously disclosed this, but it has become evident in recent days that the tabloid media plans to do so regardless of the harm it may cause, as quoted in a report by the Daily Beast.


St. Clair urged the media to respect their child's privacy and abstain from intrusive reporting as she concluded her remarks. The Latin phrase "Alea iacta est," which translates to "The die is cast," was used to accompany the statement. Which story or media outlet inspired St. Clair to release her statement is unknown.

What was the reaction from conservative figures?

Conservative leaders like Candace Owens, Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, and his wife Tanya Tay all used X to express their support for St. Clair.

After being accused of antisemitism for a long time, right-wing commentator Owens wrote, "Children should always be off limits," and then added, "Journalists are parasites." "Doxxing a baby is pretty bottom of the barrel," St. Clair said in response to Cernovich's remark that "there is no low that they the media won't go to,” as quoted in a report by The Daily Beast.

Elon Musk is already a father of twelve children with three women, though he has not yet confirmed St. Clair's report. Along with his first wife, Justine, the DOGE director has six children.

Did Elon Musk respond to the claims?

Elon Musk has been tweeting nonstop since St. Clair made her statement, but he hasn't publicly responded to her post yet, as reported by The Daily Beast.

In response to a November 2023 tweet in which she said, "Stopping birth control and Adderall was one of the best things I ever did for my mental health," Musk responded with a simple, "For sure." St. Clair has since published a follow-up statement thanking supporters for the kind words.
