Billionaire entrepreneur and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has broken his silence and addressed the claim by conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair that he fathered a child with her.
St. Clair claims that she gave birth to Musk's 13th child five months ago and kept it a secret from the public until now. The conservative children's book author claimed to have a baby with the billionaire entrepreneur in a post on X, where she has more than 1.1 million followers.
Elon Musk's Alleged 13th Child
The conservative influencer said that she welcomed a new baby into the world five months ago, adding that Musk was the father of the child. She revealed that she kept it a secret in order to protect her son's privacy and safety.
However, St. Clair noted that in recent days, it has become clear that tabloid media intends to disclose the news regardless of the harm it could cause. She added that she plans to help her child grow in a regular and safe environment and has asked the media to honor her son's privacy, according to Fox News.
One user also shared a screenshot of a 2020 exchange on X, where St. Clair discussed how Musk fathered multiple children and "goes through women pretty fast." They claimed that the conservative influencer plotted for half a decade in an attempt to ensnare the Telsa CEO.
Musk's first response to the situation was simply, "Whoa." The conservative influencer then answered, saying that they had been trying to communicate with the Tesla CEO for the past few days but had not received a response.
Discussing the Boy's Future
The 26-year-old MAGA writer's spokesperson, Brian Glicklich, said that the parties involved have been privately working towards the creation of an agreement related to raising their son for quite some time now, Yahoo News reported.
Glicklich added that it was disappointing that a tabloid reporter made it impossible to complete this process in private after they repeatedly ambushed St. Clair and her family. He said that they are now waiting for Musk to publicly acknowledge his paternal role with the conservative influencer.
St. Clair also revealed that her relationship with the billionaire entrepreneur started when the latter slid into her DMs on X. She praised him as "funny" and "down to Earth." The influencer added that, at Musk's request, she agreed to keep her pregnancy a secret.
If this is indeed Musk's 13th child, it will join his other 12 children with three different mothers. The billionaire entrepreneur has six children with his first wife, Justine Wilson, three kids with pop star Grimes, and three more children with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, as per the New York Post.
