Elon Musk has Nick Cannon beat.
The Tesla founder has allegedly expanded his family… That’s at least what 26-year-old conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair claims! On Friday, she took to the billionaire’s social media platform X (Twitter) to reveal his alleged paternity of her 5-month-old child:
“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.”

WOW. So if this is all indeed true, the child marks number 13 for the SpaceX founder… One more than his fellow relentless breeder Nick Cannon! It’s not necessarily shocking to hear about the new life, but it is a bit surprising that it’s been kept under wraps for this long. Even from Elon’s other children!
After Ashley announced the news, the tech mogul’s estranged daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson — you know, the one Elon claims was ‘killed by the woke mind virus’ — took to Threads to comment on news she has a new little sibling… After only hearing about it through social media! She wrote:
“If I had a nickel for every time that I found out I had a new half-sibling online, I’d have a few nickels- which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened SIX SEPARATE TIMES”
WILD. She sarcastically added in a follow up:
“‘I don’t know how many siblings I have’ goes really hard on 2 truths and a lie though I will admit”

Oof… Poor girl! In addition to Vivian, Elon shares four additional children with her mother, his first wife Justine Wilson. We know he’s not on talking terms with Vivian, but could not hit up her mom to share the news through her?? It makes you wonder if ANY of his other kids had any idea! And honestly, we’re leaning towards the idea that they didn’t! Because he allegedly hid Ashley away from the world after she got pregnant!
On Saturday, Ashley returned to X to urge Elon to “publicly acknowledge” his paternity of her child after he responded to a resurfaced post of her acknowledging he has multiple children and “goes through women pretty fast” in 2020 amid speculation she formerly worked as an escort. Elon replied to the post, “Whoa,” to which Ashely responded:
“Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded. When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?”
The post wasn’t up for long before she deleted it — but a rep for the conservative columnist later took to the platform to issue an official statement. Brian Glicklich wrote on Saturday:
“Ashley and Elon have been privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time … We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley, to end unwarranted speculation, and Ashely trusts that Elon intends to finish their agreement quickly, in the best interests of wellbeing and security of the child they share.”

Also on Saturday, Ashley held an interview with the New York Post where she opened up more about the nature of her and Elon’s alleged relationship and the child they share together. She revealed he’s a boy, but did not share his name. She also called the X owner “funny” and “down to Earth,” and claimed he first “he slid into my DM’s” in 2023. She claimed that at the time, she “didn’t particularly have much interest in Elon” beyond his acquisition of Twitter. According to her, Elon asked if she was ever in San Francisco or Austin, which she told him she was for her work at conservative satirical website Babylon Bee at the time. Shortly after, she traveled to X headquarters in California to interview Elon when she was just 24 and he was 51 — and “after the interview, I got a text from him saying ‘Feel like going to Providence [Rhode Island] tonight?’”
Their romance allegedly grew from their until she ultimately became pregnant — and was “told to keep it a secret.” She claimed Elon put her up in a ritzy New York apartment with a security detail, where she was forced to spend her pregnancy alone. She told the outlet:
“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.”
That’s messed up… She even complied with Elon’s alleged wish to keep his name off the child’s birth certificate once he was born! But ultimately some fans of the billionaire started to speculate she gave birth to his child and allegedly started harassing her. She said:
“There was a cohort of very violent stalkers who started threatening my toddler, they would send me photos of him with blood and that I would witness his blood splattering death and saying I was Elon’s whore.”
So scary! And then when an unnamed tabloid started snooping, that’s when she felt forced to come forward with the news of her child’s paternity. She told the outlet:
“It is very hard to understate how much I am processing right now. I am sad that my hand was forced by the media to do this now. But there is also a sense of relief because I have been forced to live in secrecy for almost a year of my life. I cannot explain the kind of primary pain you feel as a mother and you’re talking to people and they ask you about the one kid, and you have to lie and carry this burden and secret. You have to lie to people you love.”
So sad.
Ashley also claimed she notified Elon’s team before revealing the bombshell on X on Friday, but noted he “ignored it.” As of now, he has yet to respond to the situation.
Wow. This is a LOT to take in! What are your thoughts, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments down below!
