Ashley St. Clair, the alleged mother of Elon Musk's 13th child, has revealed a number of shocking claims and demands made by the billionaire in a new interview, but the most bizarre revolves around a strange childbirth request that supposedly ensured that the child had a bigger brain.
While it's sometimes tricky to keep up with how many children Elon Musk actually has - especially considering two from different mothers were revealed within weeks of each other this year alone - his thirteenth has certainly caused quite the stir.
Having been initially kept a secret, MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair felt 'forced' to reveal that she had given birth to Musk's child late last year, and she has since become embroiled in a bitter legal battle with the richest man in the world.
Strange text messages between the pair were revealed as part of the lawsuit, and only recently St. Clair revealed that she had to sell her $100,00 Tesla in order to make up for the fact that Musk had 'withheld' significant financial support for her child, seemingly alongside her X Premium subscription.

However, a lengthy report published in the Wall Street Journal has revealed the relationship between Musk and St. Clair in great detail, illustrating many of the outlandish requests made by the billionaire which include measures to ensure that their child had a bigger brain.
While St. Clair was pregnant with their child, Musk had urged her not only to refrain from circumcising the baby - which St. Clair wished to do as part of her religion - but also for her to deliver their child through a caesarean section.
Much to Musk's dismay, St. Clair reported that she decided against both of these requests, but Musk specifically desired the latter for a ludicrous reason you might not expect.
In his own words, Musk concretely believes that vaginal births limit the brain size of a child, and C-sections are the only way to avoid this. "There are certainly other factors at play," Musk illustrated in a post on X regarding the topic, "but heavy use of c-sections allows for a larger brain, as brain size has historically been limited by birth canal diameter."
This was far from the only strange request that Musk tried to persuade St. Clair into though, as he'd also attempted to move her to a gated compound in Austin, Texas owned by Musk, where Shivon Zilis - mother of four of Musk's children - currently resides.
Additionally, Musk has reportedly significantly restricted his financial support for St. Clair following her posts about their child together and the subsequent lawsuit, reducing what was supposed to be a $100,000 per month payment for the next 21 years to just $20,000 as of the last reports.
One of Musk's major sticking points was the inconclusiveness surrounding whether he was actually the father or not. "I don't know if the child is mine or not," revealed Musk on X, to which St. Clair responded: "We asked you to confirm your paternity through a test before our child (who you named) was even born. You refused."
Finally, results from the paternity test were revealed, and it was indicated that the probability of Musk being the father was 99.9999%, strengthening St. Clair's position in her New York Supreme Court fight against the billionaire.
