A MAGA influencer claims to have given birth to Musk's child
Elon Musk’s father has spoken out about the claims that his son has become a father for the 13th time.
Last week, a MAGA influencer spoke out on social media claiming that she had given birth to the billionaire’s baby.
Ashley St Clair shared that the child had been born ‘five months ago’ and the identity of the father was meant to be kept ‘a secret’.

Since her post, Musk offered a one-word indirect response, writing simply: “Whoa.”
Now, Errol Musk, who is the father of the tech mogul, has weighed in with his opinion on the matter.
Speaking to GB News, Errol said: “Elon’s not married. Marriage is what really defines whether you are doing something outside of a relationship. If he is not married, he can do whatever he likes.
“There’s nothing stopping him [from having a child]. Only so-called morals that don’t exist in a quarter of the world.”
When asked if he thinks the news of Musk fathering a 13th child is true, Errol responded: “Yes, absolutely.”
He went on to add: “I mean, why not? As you know, you have the embryonic process where you can freeze embryos. You don’t have to take chances, you can choose whether you want a boy or a girl. I think it’s absolutely extraordinary.”
Musk’s first child, which he had with his ex-wife Justine Wilson, was born in 2002.
However, he died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome at 10 weeks old.
Musk and Wilson went on to have twins and then a set of triplets before splitting.
The Tesla boss shares three children with singer Grimes, before going on to have a set of twins with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis and then a third child with Zilis.
In St Clair’s post on X, formerly Twitter, she wrote: “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.
“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.”
In a series of now-deleted tweets, she added: “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?”
