Elon Musk Responds to Ashley St. Clair’s Claim that She had his Baby in 2024

Elon Musk has publicly addressed claims made by conservative influencer and columnist Ashley St. Clair, who said over a month ago that the billionaire was the father of her child. St. Clair had also claimed that Musk reduced their child’s support payments by 60%.

In a post shared Sunday on X (formerly Twitter), Musk responded to a video of St. Clair discussing the issue:

“I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out. No court order is needed. Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year,” Musk wrote.

According to reports by People and Reuters, Musk has fathered 14 children with four different women.

St. Clair pushed back against Musk’s comments, stating that he had previously refused to take a paternity test — a direct contradiction to Musk’s latest post.

Elon, we asked you to confirm paternity through a test before our child (who you named) was even born. You refused.

And you weren’t sending *me* money, you were sending support for your child that you thought was necessary… until you withdrew most of it to maintain control and…

"Elon, we asked you to confirm paternity through a test before our child (who you named) was even born. You refused," St. Clair posted in response. She further alleged that Musk reduced the child support payments as retaliation for what she called “disobedience.”

"America needs you to grow up, you petulant man-child," she added.

St. Clair’s representative, Brian Glicklich, echoed her stance on X, writing, "This says it all."

Attempts to contact both St. Clair and Glicklich for comment have gone unanswered, according to USA TODAY.

In February, St. Clair publicly claimed Musk was the father of her child, stating in an X post, "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 security, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause."

She explained that her announcement was prompted by imminent tabloid exposure and reiterated her desire to keep the child’s life private.

"I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask the media (to) honor our child's privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting," she added.
