Elon Musk has reportedly fathered his 13th child with conservative influencer Ashley St Clair, who announced his platform, X, on Valentine’s Day. St Clair, known for her controversial far-right affiliations, shared the news in a post, revealing the birth of her child five months prior and identifying Musk as the father.
In her post, St Clair expressed her decision to keep the news private initially to protect her child’s privacy and safety but decided to disclose it due to increasing interest from tabloid media. “I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal, safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honour our child’s privacy and refrain from invasive reporting,” she stated.

Following the revelation, Musk engaged with his followers on X, humorously responding to a fan’s comment about his growing family with a crying-laughing emoji. Reports from DailyMail.com indicate that St Clair has been living in a luxury Manhattan apartment, with rent ranging between $12,000 and $15,000 a month. Neighbours suggest she lives there as a single mother with a full-time nanny helping care for her two children, including the new baby purportedly fathered by Musk and another toddler from a previous relationship.
Musk, who has children with partners including Justine Wilson, singer Grimes, and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, has a noted history of high-profile relationships. Their public interactions on X, which included flirtatious exchanges and discussions about parenting, fueled speculations about his connection with St Clair.

St Clair, who has built a significant online following with her outspoken conservative stances, authored an anti-woke children’s book and has been criticized for her associations with alleged white supremacists. Her recent request for friends to sign nondisclosure agreements led to rumours about her relationship with Musk. Building staff reported never seeing Musk at the residence, a visit from whom would likely require significant security measures.
