Elon Musk’s shocking revelation about one of his 14 children: “I don’t know if the child is mine or not”
Billionaire Elon Musk clashed on X with a woman claiming to be the mother of his child. Despite paying her over $2 million, he questions his relation to the child.
Earlier this year, conservative activist and author Ashley St. Clair revealed that she had given birth to Elon Musk’s 14th child. However, the billionaire has raised doubts as to whether or not he is the child’s father.
St. Clair, a close follower of Musk, announced in February that she had given birth to his child a few months earlier. They chose to keep the baby’s identity and existence secret for security and privacy reasons.
Musk has never acknowledged the child as his and has made it difficult for St. Clair to contact him regarding child support.

The paternity debate that broke out on X
The dispute between St. Clair and Musk became public on X last week after far-right activist Laura Loomer reposted a video from St. Clair.
In the video, St. Clair explained that she decided to sell her Tesla after not hearing from Musk about financial support for the child. She said the $100,000 car was given to her as a gift from the Tesla CEO during their romantic relationship. Loomer, who recently visited the White House and advised President Trump to fire certain national security team members, called St. Clair a “gold digger” and a “professional gaslighter.” Though Loomer visited the president at the White House last week, she was forced to distance herself from then-candiate Trump over the backlash from other members of his inner circle who saw her as politically toxic because of her track record of conspiracism and racism.

Musk responded to Loomer’s post, stating that he does not “know if the child is [his]” but is not “against finding out.” He added that “no court order” would be needed and mentioned that he has been sending St. Clair $2.5 million and plans to send her $500,000 annually.
St. Clair then responded to both Loomer and Musk, confirming that she had asked Musk to take a paternity test before the child was born, and admitted that Musk selected the child’s name. She claimed Musk “refused” the paternity test request and sees his actions as a way to “maintain control and punish [her] for disobedience.”
“But you’re really only punishing your son,” argued St. Clair.
