Ashley St. Clair has recently found herself at the center of an online storm, not for her conservative political takes or viral social media moments, but because of a claim that could redefine her public image entirely. On February 14, 2025, St. Clair announced that she had given birth to Elon Musk’s 13th child.
The revelation came via her X account (formerly Twitter), where she posted a statement declaring, “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.” To underscore the gravity of her claim, she captioned the post with “Alea Iacta Est”—Latin for “The die is cast.” The timing, the phrasing, and the sheer magnitude of the statement sent shockwaves across the internet, prompting an immediate frenzy of speculation, analysis, and, of course, memes.
Who Is Ashley St. Clair and How Old Is She?
There is some confusion about Ashley St. Clair’s age—The New York Post and The Independent claim she is 31 years old, whereas The Sun and Daily Mail state she is 26. Unfortunately, she does not have an official Wikipedia page or any reliable wiki to verify her age. Some reports claim she was born on 31st July 1999, making her 26 years old. Regardless, what cannot be disputed is Ashley St. Clair has been a known figure in conservative circles for years.
A social media influencer, author, and commentator, she first rose to prominence through her work with the Babylon Bee, the satirical right-wing equivalent of The Onion. She has also penned a controversial children’s book, Elephants Are Not Birds, published by BRAVE Books in 2021, which argues against the concept of gender fluidity through the story of an elephant named Kevin. Her staunchly conservative stance, especially on cultural and gender-related issues, has earned her a substantial following, but also plenty of criticism.
St. Clair’s association with the far-right has not been without controversy. In 2019, she stepped down as a brand ambassador for Turning Point USA after photos surfaced of her mingling with white nationalist figures Nicholas Fuentes and Tim Gionet (a.k.a. “Baked Alaska”). Despite distancing herself from that particular scandal, she continued to be a fixture in MAGA circles, frequently engaging in online culture wars. She even appeared in Ultra Right’s “Real Women of America 2024 Calendar,” a project that stirred division among conservatives over its provocative imagery.
Her personal life, however, has largely remained a mystery—until now. Her claim about Musk has been met with skepticism, largely because the billionaire himself has yet to acknowledge it. Musk, 53, has been an advocate for population growth, frequently expressing concerns over declining birth rates. He already has 12 confirmed children with three different women: his ex-wife Justine Wilson, singer Grimes (Claire Boucher), and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. If St. Clair’s statement is true, she would be the fourth woman to have a child with the world’s richest man.
Ashley St. Clair Says She Had a Baby With Elon Musk—Truth or Stunt?
Elon Musk’s silence on the matter is intriguing, especially given his usual penchant for engaging with nearly anything on X. Just hours after Ashley St. Clair’s post, he responded to a fan’s joke about “making another baby” as one of his “side quests” with a crying-laughing emoji. Was it a denial? A tacit confirmation? The ambiguity only fueled further speculation. Meanwhile, St. Clair, after thanking her supporters, stated that she would be “logging off for a while” to spend time with her family—perhaps in anticipation of the media firestorm she knew was coming.

Adding to the intrigue, St. Clair has reportedly been living in a luxury Manhattan apartment near City Hall, estimated to cost between $12,000 and $15,000 per month. Neighbors claim she has been raising not one, but two children—a newborn and a toddler from a previous relationship—with the help of a full-time nanny. The question of how she affords such an extravagant lifestyle has led some to suspect that Musk may indeed be financially supporting her.
The relationship between Elon Musk and Ashley St. Clair remains murky. While there have been no confirmed sightings of them together, their interactions on X date back to at least 2023. They have exchanged public messages, with Musk engaging with St. Clair’s posts about motherhood, birth control, and traditional values. In one exchange, she mentioned that quitting birth control had been one of the best decisions for her mental health, to which Musk simply replied, “For sure.” Now, in retrospect, that interaction seems far more significant.
Despite the media frenzy, Musk has continued business as usual, focusing on Tesla, SpaceX, and his newly implemented Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Meanwhile, his children have been making more public appearances, with X Æ A-12, his son with Grimes, even appearing in the Oval Office alongside Donald Trump. Musk’s willingness to involve his children in public life has raised questions about his approach to parenting, especially given Grimes’ visible frustration at seeing her son in political settings without her knowledge.

As for St. Clair, the road ahead is uncertain. If Musk publicly acknowledges their child, it would validate her claim and thrust her into a new level of notoriety—one that extends beyond her conservative influencer status. If he denies it or continues to remain silent, her credibility could take a significant hit. Either way, she has successfully positioned herself in the center of the news cycle, ensuring that—for now—her name remains on everyone’s lips.
Whether she is truly the mother of Musk’s 13th child or merely orchestrating an elaborate publicity stunt, Ashley St. Clair has undeniably captured the internet’s attention. The only question that remains: what happens next?
