Elon Musk ripped for 'damage control' as he gushes over baby mama Shivon Zilis amid Ashley St Clair drama

WASHINGTON, DC: Elon Musk has been blasted after he exchanged affectionate messages with Shivon Zilis amid Ashley St Clair controversy.

St Clair claimed recently that Musk fathered her baby who was born five months ago. But the Tesla CEO has not said anything about the allegations.

He, however, seemed to taunt the MAGA influencer by gushing over a post shared by one of his children's mothers, Zilis, two days after the bombshell claim, as reported by The Irish Star.

The businessman shares twins Strider and Azure, born in 2021, with the director of Neuralink.

On February 16, Zilis posted a photo with her two children and wrote, “Lil loves of my life ♥️♥️.”

Below the picture, Musk posted a heart-faced emoji, leading the 39-year-old technology executive and venture capitalist to reply with a red heart.

Ashley St Clair claims she delivered Elon Musk’s child a few months ago

The US special government employee has been accused of fathering his 13th child with Ashley St Clair, who on February 14 tweeted, “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father. 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,” the author added.

Also in an interview with The New York Post, the 26-year-old disclosed, “I was completely isolated during my pregnancy. Every part of my career and everything I used to do I couldn’t do anymore. I was told not to tell anybody.”

Her representative Brian Glicklich shared on X, “We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley, to end unwarranted speculation, and Ashley trusts that Elon intends to finish their agreement quickly, in the best interests of the wellbeing and security of the child they share.”

Netizens dub Elon Musk as ‘deadbeat’

Amid all this drama, many people online have slammed Elon Musk for not addressing Ashley St Clair’s claim and also accused him of not acknowledging his new child.

“Elon musk is a deadbeat father,” a user tweeted.

“This is just sad. These are kids and he doesn’t give a f*** about them. He’s the biggest deadbeat on television right now, with even one of his kids disowning him, and he’s having another baby. Y'all love to criticize deadbeats, but not Elon Musk? Okay,” another user wrote.

One user said, “Elon is a deadbeat dad who already disowned one child. I guess republicans don’t actually care about family values. Shocker.”

An individual commented, “Elon is a deadbeat dad who doesn’t emotionally and physically support his children. The outcomes psychologically will be the same. No amount of money will solve the issues that come with growing up without a father.”

Someone else shared, “Yeah I kinda feel sorry for her. Their child deserves everything and Elon is being a deadbeat.”

“Both are in the wrong. She is a grifter who knew and wanted to be set and Elon is a disgusting deadbeat,” a tweet read.
