In response to allegations that he is the father of his thirteenth child, the 53-year-old
Following reports that he fathered his thirteenth child with author Ashley St. Clair, Elon Musk has now addressed the allegations.
On Saturday, February 15, St. Clair, a well-known author of a 2023 “conservative” children’s book, revealed to X in a post that she had allegedly given birth to his thirteenth child five months prior.
The 26-year-old wrote: “I gave birth to a new baby five months ago. Father is Elon Musk.
“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.”
St. Clair continued by requesting that the media “refrain from invasive reporting and respect our child’s privacy,” adding that she wants her baby to “grow in a normal and safe environment.”
The Latin phrase ‘Alea Iacta Est’, which means ‘the die is cast’ and is frequently used to indicate that a situation has reached the point of no return, was also captioned by her.Brian Glicklich, her agent, reaffirmed her assertions in a separate statement posted on Musk’s social media account.
“Ashley & Elon have been privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time,” he explained.
The fact that a tabloid reporter who ambushed Ashely and her family on multiple occasions prevented that process from being carried out in confidence is disheartening.
“We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledged 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.”
Musk might actually compete with the cast of Cheaper by the Dozen if St Clair’s allegations are accurate.
When he finally spoke out about the matter, the Space X magnate didn’t exactly make a claim to the five-month-old in the midst of it.
His response to St. Clair’s assertions was actually one word: “Whoa.”
Milo Yiannopoulos, a far-right activist, had claimed that she had “plotted for half a decade to ensnare” him in another tweet about St. Clair, to which Musk was replying.
According to the Daily Mail, in a subsequent post that has since been removed, St. Clair responded to Musk’s direct retort by stating that she had been “trying to communicate” with him for days but had not heard back.
With his then-wife Vivian Wilson, Musk gave birth to his first child in 2002, a son named Nevada, but the child tragically died at the age of ten weeks.

Five additional children were then born to the couple: triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian, age 19, and twins Vivian and Griffin, age 20.
The billionaire and Grimes are also parents to three children: Tau Techno Mechanicus and X Æ A-Xii (pronounced “X Ash A Twelve”), as well as a daughter named Exa Dark Siderael. Two of the children were born through surrogacy.
With Shivon Zilis, Musk also fathered twins Strider and Azure in June 2021, who were born a little before Exa, and a third child in 2024, whose name has not yet been disclosed.
