Musk broke his silence about the situation by responding to a post on X that suggested St. Claire plotted for “half a decade” to have his 13th child.The post included a photo of someone stating, “He’s got a kid with a woman already. It seems unlikely to work out.” To which St. Claire wrote, “Well, he actually has 7 kids [and] goes through them pretty fast,” with a cry-laughing emoji.
Elon responded to the post by writing, “Whoa.”

Noticing Musk’s reaction to the post, St. Clair slammed him for responding to “smears.”
“Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days, and you have not responded,” she wrote. “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?”
Although she deleted her response, other X users were able to screenshot it.
St. Clair announced on Friday, that she and Musk welcomed their child in late 2024. “I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety,” she wrote. “But in recent days, it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.”
St. Clair further stated, “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.”
Ashley St. Clair Agreed to Keep Her Pregnancy and Child Private at Elon Musk’s Request
While speaking to the New York Post, Ashley St. Clair stated she agreed to keep her pregnancy and her child private at Elon Musk’s request.
“My child is the most perfect thing that happened to me,” she explained. “I wouldn’t change anything.”
St. Clair also revealed that she and Musk first crossed paths in May 2023. “Musk was very funny. He was smart. He was very down to earth. It started with X interactions, and he slid into my DM’s. I think it was a meme.”
St. Clair pointed out that she “didn’t particularly have much interest in Elon” at the time, other than his X (formerly Twitter) acquisition. “And at one point, he said, ‘Are you ever in San Francisco or Austin?’ “And I said, ‘I am in Austin and Texas a good amount for work.'”
After Musk restored the X account of her former employer, Babylon Bee, Bee CEO Seth Dillon asked her to fly to San Francisco to interview the billionaire.
“After the interview, I got a text from him saying, ‘Feel like going to Providence [Rhode Island] tonight?” she recalled.
St. Clair then said that things progressed between her and Musk. However, when she became pregnant with Musk’s 13th child, St. Clair claimed that she was restricted from telling more than a “close-knit circle of people” about the pregnancy.
“I was told to keep it secret. I was being asked to keep it a secret forever,” she said. The author refused to provide the reason behind the secrecy. She also didn’t provide proof that Musk was the father.
