Who is Ashley St. Clair? Author claiming she secretly gave birth to Elon Musk's child

Author and columnist Ashley St. Clair has claimed that she had a baby with billionaire Elon Musk five months ago. If her claim is true, this would be Musk’s 13th known child.

In a note posted to X, which is owned by Musk, St. Clair said she did not reveal this earlier to protect the child’s privacy.

“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,” she wrote.

“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,” her note further read.
