Ashley St Clair Claims Elon Musk Fathered Her Baby—Musk’s Reaction Sparks Debate

 

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has publicly responded after Ashley St Clair, a conservative influencer, claimed that the billionaire is the father of her five-month-old child. On February 15, Musk reacted briefly to a post on X, simply saying, “Whoa,” after the post suggested that St Clair, 26, had been planning for five years to have his child. This brief response has ignited further public interest in the matter.

 

St Clair’s Announcement

 

St Clair revealed on February 14 that Musk is the father of her child, writing, “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.” Along with the announcement, she included the Latin phrase "Alea iacta est" (The die is cast). 

St Clair explained that she had kept the information private to protect her child’s privacy and safety but decided to go public after learning that tabloids were preparing to break the story regardless of the potential harm it could cause. “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 wrote.

 

St Clair Criticizes Musk’s Response

 

Despite Musk’s brief reaction, St Clair expressed frustration over his failure to address her directly. She accused him of engaging in online speculation instead of responding to her. "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?" she wrote in a now-deleted comment.

 

Private Co-Parenting Discussions

 

St Clair, Musk’s representative confirmed that she and Musk were in private talks about co-parenting. Brian Glicklich, her representative, stated, “We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley, to end unwarranted speculation, and Ashley trusts that Elon intends to finish their agreement quickly, in the best interests of the wellbeing and security of the child they share.”

 

Allegations of Inappropriate Behavior

 

In now-deleted posts, St Clair also accused Musk of replying to an X user who reportedly posted inappropriate photos of her as a minor. According to St Clair, the account that posited the images was restricted by X’s safety team temporarily as it was violating the platform’s safety rule.
