MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Conservative influencer Ashley St Clair announced she has welcomed a child with the billionaire CEO and businessman Elon Musk

Just in a week when the DOGE head is in the news for his recent interactions with his young children during official engagements, the 26-year-old influencer shared the news of her motherhood through a post on Valentine’s Day. 



 

The influencer who previously courted controversy for harboring far-right views, took to her X account on Friday, February 14, to announce that she welcomed Musk’s 13th baby over five months ago, per Daily Mail.

Ashley St Clair recently took to her social media, writing, “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.”

The conservative firebrand, who attended Trump's Inauguration Day as well, continued, “I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.”

“I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting,” requested the influencer. 

She captioned her post with “Alea lacta est” a Latin phrase meaning “the die is cast.”

While St Clair announced the arrival of her young baby with Musk, the Tesla boss is yet to acknowledge his latest progeny. 



 

In a separate post three hours later, St Clair further took to her X account to send a strong message to her fans. "In all sincerity, appreciate the kind words," wrote the influencer, before adding, "Wish I did not feel the need to make a statement. Kids should be off limits for journalists. Will be spending time with my family & logging off for a while."

If confirmed, the baby would be the SpaceX founder’s 13th child with the fourth woman. According to the New York Post, the X owner, who follows St Clair on the social media platform, was online while she made the announcement, but did not send any message to acknowledge the news. 

Musk is already a father of 12 children, whom he shares with three different women. With his first wife Justine Wilson, Musk welcomed twins Vivian and Griffin and then triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian. The couple's first child, Nevada, tragically died in infancy.

Later, the businessman welcomed three children with an on-and-off partner, musician Grimes (real name Claire Boucher). The former couple welcomed son X Æ A-Xii in May 2020, daughter Exa Dark Sideræl Musk in December 2021, and another boy, Techno Mechanicus. 

With Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, Musk shares twins, Strider and Azure, born in November 2021, and another baby recently. 

Elon Musk brings his children for official visits

Ashley St Clair's claim about welcoming Elon Musk's baby came amid the South African-born industrialist creating headlines by bringing his children not only to meet President Donald Trump but other world leaders as well.

Just a few days after bringing his son X to the Oval Office during his first press meeting since becoming the DOGE head on February 11, he brought three of his young children and Shivon Zillis for a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday.



 

In a montage of images shared by the Indian Prime Minister, the youngsters could be seen present during the meeting at Blair House, which mainly dealt with Starlink's long-delayed plans to launch satellite broadband services in India.
