Ashley St. Clair, a well-known conservative influencer, has claimed the spotlight with her recent announcement revealing she gave birth to Elon Musk's 13th child, and the disclosure follows rumors and pressure from tabloids, pushing St. Clair to speak out about her brief encounter and hidden life thereafter.
St. Clair asserted that her connection with Musk began on the social media platform X in May 2023, marking the start of an unexpected journey with Musk, who has not acknowledged the paternity claims, as the New York Post reports.
Known for her presence on conservative platforms like Fox News, St. Clair recounted how Musk, founder of SpaceX and the electric car company Tesla, contacted her via direct messages on X. Their interaction, sparked by what St. Clair described as a meme, led to a brief but impactful interaction. It was in this virtual world where their relationship began, leading to a real-world meeting at Twitter's headquarters.
St. Clair, 24 at the time, claims she met Musk, then 51, in person which eventually resulted in the birth of their child five months ago. Despite the significance of this development, she spent their time together maintaining a life of secrecy. According to St. Clair, this was due to requests to keep the nature of their relationship under wraps, a situation she found challenging.
“I was told to keep it secret,” St. Clair shared. “I was being asked to keep it a secret forever.” Her disclosure came amid intense tabloid investigations and encounters with Musk's ardent followers, which led her to make the relationship public through a post on X.
According to St. Clair, her relationship with Musk did not develop into a romantic one despite the luxurious resources made available to her. She describes receiving an upscale apartment and security details during her pregnancy. Despite this provision, she emphasizes there was no romance between her and Musk. Instead, the relationship focused on the implications of parenting their child.
Both St. Clair and Musk's financial advisor, Jared Birchall, were actively involved in discussions about the future. Text messages between St. Clair and Birchall reveal Musk's request to be excluded from the birth certificate, a point of contention in their interactions.
“It's very hard to understate how much I am processing right now,” St. Clair mentioned, highlighting the emotional complexity of the situation. “I am a good mom. And that’s what drives most of my decisions and my kids are my whole world.”
St. Clair's revelations have not only put her in the media spotlight but also have impacted her personally, forcing her to confront challenges in balancing privacy and public exposure. She expressed her hope for an understanding with Musk regarding their child's upbringing, a process her representative, Brian Glicklich, stated had been ongoing.
“Ashley & Elon have been privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time,” Glicklich commented. He emphasized the disappointment at being forced to act publicly due to tabloid pressure.
Despite this tumultuous period, St. Clair reflects on the joy her child has brought into her life. “My child is the most perfect thing that happened to me. I wouldn’t change anything,” she shared, underscoring the personal fulfillment amidst the unfolding public drama.
Ashley St. Clair's circumstances have prompted her to engage with some of Musk's family, including meeting some of his other children and his mother, Maye Musk. Nevertheless, she has decided against revealing their child's name publicly, citing security and privacy reasons.
With Musk not publicly addressing these claims, the story remains shrouded in mystery and speculation. St. Clair has made it clear that her motivations lie in securing a meaningful future for her child, amidst the complex dynamics influencing her current reality.
