Elon Musk’s alleged lover Ashley St Clair reveals messages that led to secret child with billionaire

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Conservative influencer Ashley St Clair, who recently grabbed headlines by claiming she secretly gave birth to Elon Musk’s 13th child, has finally broken her silence.

Speaking to the New York Post from her swanky Manhattan pad on Saturday, February 15, the 26-year-old commentator spilled all the details about her alleged romance with the Tesla and SpaceX boss. According to her, their relationship started in the DMs.

Elon Musk allegedly slid into Ashley St Clair's DMs

According to Ashley St Clair, the two first connected in May 2023 on Elon Musk’s platform X (formerly Twitter), which he bought for a casual $44 billion in 2022. “Musk was very funny. He was smart. He was very down to earth. It started with X interactions and he slid into my DM’s. I think it was a meme,” she recalled.

At first, she didn’t think much of it—she was only mildly interested in him because of his high-profile Twitter takeover. She admitted that she even learned about Musk through her “gay best friend,” who was obsessed with watching SpaceX rocket launches.

But then Musk allegedly started making moves. “Are you ever in San Francisco or Austin?” he asked, to which she replied, “I am in Austin and Texas a good amount for work.”

Shortly after that exchange, she got a call from Seth Dillon, CEO of the satirical conservative site Babylon Bee where she worked at the time. According to St Clair, Dillon told her she needed to be in San Francisco within 48 hours.

And just like that, she was off to Twitter HQ, where she claims she met Musk for the first time. At the time, she was 24 and he was 51.

“After the interview, I got a text from him saying “Feel like going to Providence [Rhode Island] tonight?” St. Clair recaled.

Elon Musk’s alleged secret affair with Ashley St Clair led to secret baby

After their first meeting, things escalated quickly. According to Ashley St Clair, the romance blossomed until she found herself pregnant with Elon Musk’s child. “I was told to keep it secret. I was being asked to keep it a secret forever,” she revealed.

St Clair wouldn’t say why she was asked to stay silent, nor did she provide any hard proof that Musk is the father. But she insists their son—whose name she refused to disclose—is healthy and thriving. “My child is the most perfect thing that happened to me. I wouldn’t change anything,” she gushed.

But as perfect as her baby is, her pregnancy was allegedly a struggle. St Clair said she was isolated and spent the entire nine months alone. “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,” she claimed.

She went completely dark on Instagram for months—only resurfacing to post a photo from Trump’s inauguration on January 20.

Despite Musk allegedly wanting to keep the baby under wraps, St Clair wasn’t exactly left high and dry. She says the billionaire set her up in a glitzy Financial District apartment—where rent for a two-bedroom can skyrocket to nearly $40,000 a month—and even provided a tight security detail.

But there was reportedly zero romance once she got pregnant.

Meanwhile, texts between St Clair and Jared Birchall—Musk’s right-hand money guy—appear to confirm that Musk wanted to be left off the birth certificate to maintain “privacy, security, and confidentiality," according to the Post.

Why did Ashley St Clair go public now?

On Friday, Ashley St Clair broke the internet when she dropped the bombshell on X claiming she gave birth to Elon Musk’s son five months ago. But according to her, it wasn’t exactly a voluntary announcement—she was forced to come forward due to relentless tabloid reporters sniffing around.

Her rep Brian Glicklich confirmed this in a statement on X: “Ashley & Elon have been privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time. It is disappointing that a tabloid reporter, who repeatedly ambushed Ashley and her family, made it impossible to complete that process confidentially.”

“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," he added.
