The unexpected claim by conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair that she gave birth to Elon Musk’s child has sent shockwaves through social media, fueling speculation and drawing intense media scrutiny. In a surprising post on X, St. Clair, 31, wrote, "Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father." She accompanied the post with the Latin phrase "Alea iacta est" (the die is cast), signaling that there was no turning back from this revelation.
St. Clair elaborated on her decision to go public, stating that she had initially chosen to keep the matter private to ensure the safety and well-being of their child. However, she alleged that the tabloid media had caught wind of the story and was on the verge of exposing it. In an effort to preempt sensationalized reporting, she decided to confirm the news herself. "I intend to allow our child to grow up in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child's privacy and refrain from invasive reporting," she wrote.
Despite the magnitude of the claim, Elon Musk has remained silent. While his X timeline remains active with posts on topics unrelated to the allegation, he has not issued any confirmation or denial. His lack of response has only fueled further speculation, with some questioning whether he is deliberately ignoring the claim or strategizing a response. Given Musk's history of fathering multiple children with different partners—including his well-documented relationships with musician Grimes and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis—many are debating the plausibility of St. Clair’s statement. Some social media users have voiced their support for her plea for privacy, while others have demanded evidence to back up her claim.
Adding to the intrigue, St. Clair returned to X roughly three hours after her initial post to express gratitude to those who had offered support. "In all sincerity, appreciate the kind words. Wish I did not feel the need to make a statement. Kids should be off-limits for journalists," she wrote. She also announced that she would be stepping away from social media to focus on her family.
The timing of the revelation has also raised eyebrows, with some speculating that it could be a strategic move given Musk’s ongoing legal battles, business dealings, and public persona. Others have pointed out that St. Clair, who has been associated with conservative media and online influence, may be using the claim to gain attention or leverage.
Meanwhile, news outlets and social media users are closely monitoring the situation, waiting to see if Musk will eventually respond. If he remains silent, the mystery surrounding St. Clair’s claim will only deepen. If he addresses it—whether with confirmation, denial, or legal action—it could have significant personal and public ramifications. Regardless of the outcome, this latest twist adds yet another chapter to Musk’s already eventful and highly scrutinized personal life.
