A paternity lawsuit unveils a complex relationship between tech billionaire Elon Musk and conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair.
According to the New York Post, St. Clair has filed legal documents in the Manhattan Supreme Court seeking to establish Musk as the father of her five-month-old son while pursuing full custody. The lawsuit includes text exchanges and photographs as evidence of their relationship.
The 26-year-old influencer's legal action has sparked controversy after fellow social media personality Isabella Moody released private messages allegedly showing St. Clair's premeditated plans to have Musk's child. These revelations prompted responses from the SpaceX founder himself, who expressed surprise with brief reactions on X.
Moody shared text conversations from 2023 that suggest St. Clair deliberately pursued a relationship with Musk after he followed her on social media. In response to these revelations, Moody posted on X:
I wasn't going to post these, but now that @stclairashley has leaked her private signal messages with @elonmusk after lying and saying she 'wanted privacy,' here's more evidence Ashely planned to baby trap Elon. She doesn't care about 'privacy.' She planned to seduce him by her own admission and now she's leaking his texts.
The purported messages from St. Clair included statements about wanting "rocket babies" and her willingness to "seduce" the billionaire. Musk responded to these posts with brief exclamations of "Whoa" and "Yikes," indicating his apparent surprise at the allegations.
The paternity suit filed by St. Clair contains several exhibits, including text exchanges between her and someone identified as "EM."
These messages reveal intimate conversations and discussions about having children. One particular exchange shows "EM" expressing interest in having more children: "Hmm ok. Well, I do have a legion of kids to make."
St. Clair's legal filing also includes photographic evidence showing Musk holding an infant while using his phone. The image is presented as proof of his connection to their alleged child, who would be Musk's 13th offspring if paternity is established.
The case adds another layer to Musk's already extensive family tree, which includes twelve confirmed children with three different women.
His previous relationships have resulted in five children with first wife Justine Wilson, three with singer Grimes, and two with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
Representatives for St. Clair have not provided any response to questions regarding Musk's recent comments about the situation. The legal proceedings continue as both parties navigate this public paternity dispute.

As the legal proceedings move forward, this case could potentially impact Musk's extensive family dynamics, which already includes twelve confirmed children with three different partners.
