In a surprising revelation over social media, conservative commentator and author Ashley St. Clair announced that she and tech mogul Elon Musk have welcomed a child together. The announcement came through a post on Musk’s platform X, where St. Clair revealed she gave birth five months ago, specifying that Musk is the father.
St. Clair, known for her outspoken political views and her children’s book “Elephants Are Not Birds,” which critiques gender ideology, expressed in her statement a desire to protect the child’s privacy and safety. 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.” She further urged the media to respect her child’s privacy to allow them to grow in a “normal and safe environment.”
This claim adds another layer to Elon Musk’s already expansive family, as he is known to have 12 children from previous relationships. Musk has not publicly commented on St. Clair’s announcement. His family includes children from his marriage to Justine Wilson and his relationship with musician Grimes, among others.
St. Clair’s revelation has stirred considerable discussion online, with posts on X reflecting a mix of support, skepticism, and curiosity about the privacy of high-profile figures’ personal lives. The announcement coincides with trending discussions on various topics, though none directly related, highlighting the unpredictability and broad interest in news concerning influential figures like Musk.
The implications of this announcement on Musk’s public image and personal life remain to be seen, especially considering his history of both embracing and avoiding media scrutiny regarding his private affairs. As the story unfolds, it will likely involve further commentary from both fans and critics alike, focusing on the balance between public interest and personal privacy in the lives of celebrities and public figures.
