In a series of recent revelations, conservative influencer and author Ashley St. Clair has come forward with claims about her relationship with tech mogul Elon Musk, alleging that he is the father of her five-month-old son. These assertions have sparked widespread media attention and public discourse.

The Alleged Relationship

St. Clair, 26, known for her conservative commentary and children’s book “Elephants Are Not Birds,” asserts that she first connected with Musk, 53, through direct messages on X (formerly Twitter) in May 2023. Their online interactions reportedly led to an in-person meeting during a work assignment in San Francisco, where St. Clair was interviewing Musk for the satirical website Babylon Bee. She describes Musk as “very funny,” “smart,” and “down to earth,” noting that their romance began during a spontaneous trip to Providence, Rhode Island, following their initial meeting.

Claims of Parenthood

On February 14, 2025, St. Clair publicly announced on X that she had given birth to a son, referred to as R.S.C., in September 2024, naming Musk as the father. She stated that she had kept the birth private to protect her child’s privacy and safety but felt compelled to go public due to impending tabloid exposure.

In her legal filings for sole legal custody, St. Clair alleges that Musk has seen their son only three times since his birth and has had minimal involvement in his upbringing. She has also filed a paternity petition to legally establish Musk as the child’s father.

Musk’s Response

As of now, Musk has not publicly addressed St. Clair’s claims. In a brief interaction on X, he responded with “Whoa” to a user’s post referencing St. Clair’s announcement but has not made any official statements regarding the matter.

Public and Media Reaction

The allegations have ignited extensive discussions across social media platforms and news outlets. Some individuals have expressed skepticism, while others have shown support for St. Clair’s decision to come forward. The situation has also prompted conversations about privacy, the responsibilities of public figures, and the complexities of personal relationships in the public eye.

As the story continues to unfold, it remains a focal point of public interest, with many awaiting further developments and official statements from the parties involved.
