Elon Musk ’fathers undisclosed 13th child’ with controversial MAGA influencer
A far-right MAGA influencer has alleged that she has secretly given birth to Tesla and SpaceX billionaire Elon Musk’s 13th child in a post on his X social media app.
In a shocking claim, a pro-Trump social media personality has revealed that she allegedly gave birth to Elon Musk’s 13th child in secret. Ashley St Clair, a 26-year-old right-wing influencer, ironically made the announcement on Musk’s own platform, X, on Valentine’s Day evening.
St Clair, known for her extremist views and divisive opinions, claimed she had the billionaire’s baby last year, but kept it under wraps to safeguard the child’s privacy and well-being.
"Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father," she wrote, adding, "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."
St Clair pleaded with the media to respect her child’s anonymity, allowing them to have a normal and secure upbringing. She added: "I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honour our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting."
Musk has yet to publicly address the claims, although responded with a laughing crying emoji when one fan suggested that making "another baby" was another "side quest".
Residents in St Clair’s Manhattan building meanwhile said the claims, if true, were "unsurprising". "She was definitely one of the first people in a pretty large, luxury building to get a Cybertruck,” one resident told Daily Mail.
Fellow conservative influencers were quick to rally around Musk and St Clair, defending them against criticism on social media. "Children should always be off limits. Journalists are parasites. Hard to imagine going through this with a young one," wrote controversial right-wing commentator Candice Owens on X. "Better to come out with this on your own terms. George and I will be praying for you, Ash."
Another supporter, Trump-loyalist Matt Gaetz - the former representative for Florida’s 1st congressional district who resigned after Trump’s nominating of him to serve as United States attorney general sparked widespread condemnation - also chimed in on X, saying: "This child has incredible genetics. Much love to this wonderful family."
Musk’s other children have previously made headlines for their unusual names, according to the Irish Star, including his son with ex-partner Grimes, X Æ A-12 Musk. Elon Musk and Grimes welcomed their baby boy into the world in May 2020.
The announcement of their son’s unique name, X Æ A-12 Musk, left fans scratching their heads over its pronunciation. It seems the mystery has finally been solved by the proud parents, although they themselves appear to have differing interpretations.
Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, addressed the question on her Instagram after sharing a stunning Vogue Italia cover shoot image.
When asked in the comments section how to pronounce her child’s name, the first-time mum finally gave fans the answer they were waiting for. "It’s just X, like the letter X. Then A.I. Like how you said the letter A then I," Grimes clarified when asked about her newborn’s name.
This led fans to believe that it’s pronounced ’xai,’ but some were still left unsure.
Despite Grimes’ written explanation, SpaceX billionaire Elon was asked to pronounce his son’s name while recording a podcast with Joe Rogan. During the show, he suggested that Grimes had mostly come up with the name, adding: "Yeah, she’s great at names."
He informed the comedian that his son was born on May 4 before breaking down the pronunciation. "He told the comedian that his son had been born on May 4 before breaking down the pronunciation. I mean it’s just X, the letter X, and the ’Æ’ is pronounced, ’Ash,’" Elon explained.
Unlike Grimes, who didn’t address the A-12 ending, Elon revealed during the podcast that it was his idea. He explained that A-12 stands for "Archangel 12, the precursor to the SR-71, coolest plane ever."
The former duo later welcomed their daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl, via surrogacy in December 2021. They added another bundle of joy, Techno Mechanicus, to their brood in 2022 following Musk’s revelation to The New York Post about their ’semi separated’ status.
Shedding light on Musk’s approach to fatherhood during a Wired interview in 2023, Grimes, aged 36, commented: "I think their life is gonna be pretty intense. Being Elon’s kid is not the same as being anyone’s kid. In my house, at least, I want it to be more of a crazy warehouse situation and a cool art space."
The tech titan, now a father to 11 living children from three different women, is apparently creating plenty of room for his sizable family by investing in a colossal 14,400 square foot residence in Texas. Musk fathered six children with his initial spouse, Canadian writer Justine Wilson, throughout their marriage spanning from 2000 to 2008.
The pair endured a devastating loss when their first son, Nevada Alexander, succumbed to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in 2002 at a tender 10 weeks old.
Justine opened up about her sorrow in Marie Claire, admitting: "I buried my feelings ... coping with Nevada’s death by making my first visit to an IVF clinic less than two months later. Elon and I planned to get pregnant again as swiftly as possible. Within the next five years, I gave birth to twins, then triplets."
Elon Musk’s family expanded with twins Vivian and Griffin through IVF in 2004, followed by triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian in 2006. Now at 20 years of age, Vivian, who legally changed her name and gender in 2022, has shared her distaste for her father’s association with President Donald Trump, whom Elon supported during the election.
Estranged from Musk, Vivian voiced her thoughts on Threads: "I’ve been considering this for some time, but yesterday made it clear. I don’t see my future in the United States. Even if he’s only in office for four years, even if the anti-trans regulations magically don’t happen, the people who willingly voted this in are not going anywhere anytime soon."
The brood under the Musk name has grown even larger as he and his partner Shivon Zilis welcomed twins Strider and Azure in 2021, shortly before Musk and Grimes introduced their third child to the world. Last year, Musk and Neurolink executive Shivon, age 38, had another child in a serene setting, opting to keep the birth quiet.
The couple have decided to keep details such as the gender or birth date of their new arrival private. Musk has not shied away from expressing his views on the importance of procreating.
Earlier in May 2024, Musk told his X platform followers: "Just have kids one way or another or humanity will die with a whimper in adult diapers! " He continued his advocacy: "I’m doing my best to encourage more people to become parents and ideally have three or more kids, so humanity can grow."
