This is Ashley St. Clair: What we know about the woman who claims to have given birth to Elon Musk’s 13th child

According to conservative author and influencer Ashley St. Clair, Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has welcomed his 13th child. St. Clair revealed that she and Musk became parents five months ago but chose to keep the news private to protect their baby’s privacy and safety. According to First Post, St. Clair is 26 years old and the fourth woman Musk, who is 53, is publically known to have fathered children with. A conservative influencer in the MAGA world, St. Clair is the author of ‘Elephants Are Not Birds,’ a children’s book published by the conservative brand, Brave Books.

Brave Books describes St. Clair’s work as a “conservative children’s book that tackles the topic of identity.” The story centers on a singing elephant named Kevin who “learns that even though he can sing, he is not a bird, even if Culture insists that he is.”

St. Clair posted a statement on X, the social media platform owned by Musk, on Saturday, February 15, stating that their baby had been born five months ago. “I hadn’t disclosed this before to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but recent events have made it clear that the tabloids intend to reveal it regardless of the harm it may cause,” St. Clair shared in a social media statement.

“I intend to allow our child to grow up in a normal and safe environment. For this reason, I ask the media to respect our child’s privacy and refrain from invasive reporting,” she added.

Musk has not yet commented on the matter but was seen with one of his younger children in the Oval Office late last week, taking questions from the press alongside the president. The youngster who accompanied his father to the White House was X AE A-XII, who is one of the three children the billionaire shares with singer Grimes. After being informed by fans that her son had appeared with Musk during the unusual media event, she responded that “he should not be in public” but was “glad he was polite.”

Cheaper by the baker’s dozen

If St. Clair’s announcement is true, Elon Musk has fathered thirteen children whose identities have been confirmed publically. In addition to the three children he had with Grimes, he shares six children from his first marriage to Canadian author Justine Wilson, three more with Neuralink’s Director of Operations and Special Projects Shivon Zilis, and now allegedly one with Ashley St. Clair.

Justine Wilson and Elon Musk married in January 2000. They had their first child, Nevada Alexander Musk, in 2002, who tragically passed away at 10 weeks old from sudden infant death syndrome. In April 2004, they welcomed twins Griffin and Xavier Musk, followed by triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian in 2006. Musk and Wilson divorced in 2008 but continue to share custody of their five children.

In 2018, Musk began dating singer Grimes. They announced the birth of their son, X AE A-XII, in May 2020, and their daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, in December 2021. After their relationship ended, it was revealed that they had a third child, Techno Mechanicus.

In 2021, while Musk and Grimes were not together, Musk fathered twins with Shivon Zilis through IVF, who were born in September. Last year, Zilis and Musk announced the birth of another child via surrogacy.
