MAGA Influencer, 26: Elon Musk Has Fathered 13th Kid With Me

Ashley St. Clair, a 26-year-old right-wing influencer, contributor to conservative satirical news site The Babylon Bee and semi-regular guest on Fox News, took to X late Friday night to claim that she recently had a child with Elon Musk.

She wrote, “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.”

St. Clair ended her statement with a request for the media to honor their child’s privacy and refrain from invasive reporting. The statement was accompanied by a Latin phrase, “Alea iacta est,” which means “The die is cast.” It is unclear which media outlet or story prompted St. Clair to publish her statement.

Conservative figures like Jack Posobiec, his wife Tanya Tay, Mike Cernovich and Candace Owens all sent St. Clair their support via X.

“Children should always be off limits,” wrote right-wing commentator Owens, who has long been plagued by accusations of antisemitism, before adding: “Journalists are parasites.” In response to Cernovich’s comment that “There is no low that they [the media] won’t go to,” St. Clair responded, “Doxxing a baby is pretty bottom of the barrel.”

Musk, who has yet to confirm St. Clair’s news, is already a father of 12 children with three women. The DOGE director has six children with his first wife, Justine; three with musician Grimes; and three with former Neuralink director of operations Shivon Zilis—the youngest of whom was born in June 2024.

Grimes—the mother of X Æ A-12, who has recently been photographed visiting the Oval Office with Musk—has been using X (the social media platform) to express her discomfort with Musk using their son as a prop, writing, “He should not be in public like this,” in response to their son’s latest appearance at the White House.

Musk has yet to publicly comment on St. Clair’s post, though he has been tweeting relentlessly since she published her statement, and clearly has babies on the brain:

In addition, internet sleuths have found a tweet from Musk to St. Clair sent in response to a November 2023 tweet in which she said, “Stopping birth control and Adderall was one of the best things I ever did for my mental health. So many Americans on pharmaceutical cocktails and then wondering why they feel out of their minds.” Musk’s response was a simple, “For sure.”

St. Clair has since published a follow-up statement thanking supporters for the kind words and adding, “Wish I did not feel the need to make a statement. Kids should be off limits for journalists.”

The Daily Beast has reached out to Musk, via his lawyer, for comment.
