Musk breaks silence with just one word after influencer claims she's birthed Elon Musk’s 13th child
As the CEO of Tesla and Space X, owner of X (formerly Twitter), AND head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk sure is a busy guy. With claims that DOGE employees are sleeping in the White House, we're surprised he's got time to have much of a personal life.
Still, one woman claims that Mr. Musk has found enough time in his busy schedule to secretly get her pregnant.
MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair shocked the internet in a February 15 post that claimed she'd given birth to Elon Musk's 13th child some five months ago.
St. Clair 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."

She didn't reveal which news organization was apparently hounding her, but outlets will typically make a request for comment before posting stories that will be contentious.
She continued: "I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting."
Of course, announcing that you're the mother of the world's richest man's 13th child is going to cause a bit of a media storm.
Elon Musk hasn't responded to St. Clair's claims directly, but instead, given a seemingly brutal one-word response to a separate post discussing it. When commentator Milo Yiannopoulos suggested that St. Clair had 'plotted' to have a child with Musk since 2020, he simply wrote: "Whoah."
This has clearly irked St. Clair, who herself responded to Musk's five-letter response. In a now-deleted post, St. Clair 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?"
Musk caused a stir in 2022 when it was revealed he'd fathered a set of twins with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis just weeks before he and Grimes welcomed Exa Dark Sideræl through surrogacy. Back then, Musk wrote: "Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis. A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilisation faces by far."
In terms of the Musk lineage, he welcomed six children with Justine Musk, named Nevada (who sadly died aged 10 weeks old), then twins Griffan and Vivian who were born in April 2004. The latter has since come out as transgender and has been vocally against her father. Finally, Musk fathered triplets with Justine Musk in January 2006, called Kai, Saxon, and Damian who were born in Jan 2006.
Musk then welcomed X Æ A-Xii (now pronounced just X) with Grimes in May 2020, Exa Dark Sideræl in Dec 2021, and Techno Mechanicus. He Zilis also have three children with twins Azure and Strider, and an unnamed 12th child who was confirmed in 2024. If St. Clair's story is true, that means the Musk dynasty now stands at a baker's dozen.
A representative for St. Clair posted on X and concluded: "Ashley & Elon have been privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time. It is disappointing that a tabloid reporter, who repeatedly ambushed Ashley and her family, made it impossible to complete that process confidentially."
