Tech billionaire Elon Musk has finally responded after conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair claimed she secretly gave birth to his child five months ago. St. Clair, 26, made the revelation on X (formerly Twitter), stating that she and Musk share a son but had kept it private for security reasons.
Musk, who owns X, reacted to the allegations with a single-word response: “Whoa.” This was in reply to a post suggesting that St. Clair had allegedly spent five years attempting to have his child.

Unhappy with Musk’s public response, St. Clair quickly fired back, accusing him of ignoring private attempts to communicate. “Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days, and you have not responded,” she wrote. She also criticized him for engaging with online “smears” rather than addressing the situation directly.
Behind the Scenes: Alleged Secret Agreement
According to St. Clair’s representative, Brian Glicklich, she and Musk had been privately working on an agreement about raising their child. However, he claimed that a relentless tabloid reporter forced her to go public before the process was finalized.
“We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role,” Glicklich stated, adding that St. Clair trusts Musk to complete their agreement in the best interests of their child.
Musk has not issued a formal statement confirming or denying the paternity claim, and his legal team has yet to comment.
Inside Musk’s Expanding Family
If true, this would mark Musk’s 13th child. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO already shares 12 children with three other women.
His first five children—twins Griffin and Vivian, and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian—were born to his first wife, author Justine Wilson. He also shares three children with singer Grimes: X Æ A-12 (nicknamed X), Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus.
Additionally, Musk has twins, Strider and Azure, with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. In early 2024, they quietly welcomed a third child together. The entire Musk family was notably present at a high-profile meeting with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
What’s Next for St. Clair & Musk?
St. Clair has since filed for sole custody of their alleged child, arguing that Musk has only met him a few times and has played no role in his care. She insists that her decision to go public was not about fame but about protecting her child from media scrutiny.
For now, Musk has yet to formally confirm or deny paternity, leaving the internet buzzing with speculation. As legal proceedings unfold, the world is watching to see whether the tech mogul will address the controversy head-on or continue to let his cryptic online responses do the talking.
