Elon addressed swirling speculation Saturday after conservative influencer Ashley St Clair alleged she gave birth to his child five months ago.
The billionaire responded with a single-word reaction on X, the social media platform he owns after a post claimed St Clair had been strategizing for years to have his child. St Clair, an author and online personality, quickly retorted, criticizing Musk for engaging with internet chatter instead of addressing her directly. St Clair’s claim, first reported by the New York Post, suggests she and Musk share a 5-month-old child. Her representative, Brian Glicklich, released a statement on X, saying both parties have been negotiating a co-parenting agreement.
Elon Musk, already a father of 12 with three different women, has not publicly confirmed St Clair’s assertion. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO is known for embracing fatherhood, often discussing his views on population growth and the importance of having large families. The situation marks yet another chapter in Musk’s widely scrutinized personal life, which has frequently played out in public view. While he has not disputed St Clair’s claims outright, his brief reaction leaves more questions than answers about their relationship and the child.
