Elon Musk Welcomes His Thirteenth Child with a Young Influencer

Elon Musk, the 53-year-old business mogul, has once again captured public attention with the announcement of his thirteenth child, born to a young influencer in her twenties. Ashley St. Clair, a 26-year-old content creator known for her conservative views, revealed on her X account that she is the mother of Musk's newest addition. "Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father," she shared, accompanying her statement with the Latin phrase Alea Iacta Est (The die is cast).

St. Clair explained her decision to keep the news under wraps until now was to safeguard her child's privacy and safety. "However, it has become evident in recent days that tabloids are determined to reveal the story, regardless of the potential harm," she clarified. "I am committed to ensuring our child grows up in a normal and secure environment. Therefore, I urge the media to respect our child's privacy and refrain from intrusive reporting," she emphasized.

With over a million followers across her social media platforms, St. Clair announced in another tweet her intention to take a break from the online world to spend quality time with her family. "I sincerely appreciate the kind words. I wish I hadn't felt the need to make a statement. Children should be off-limits to journalists," she remarked. The name of her child remains undisclosed.

Musk has yet to make a public comment on the matter. He simply responded with a laughing emoji to a user's remark suggesting that having "another baby" is a side mission for the current head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Donald Trump's administration.

Ashley St. Clair and Elon Musk's relationship began in 2023, sparked by an exchange of messages and jokes on X. Last July, Musk wished her a happy birthday on the platform, to which she responded with heart emojis.

St. Clair had previously authored a children's book titled "Elephants Are Not Birds," published by BRAVE Books, a publisher that champions Christian and conservative values. The book stirred controversy due to its take on gender identity. Its protagonist, Kevin, is an elephant who can sing but insists on remaining an elephant, contrary to societal pressures suggesting otherwise. "The elephant realizes that it's best as it was made, that it can enjoy singing while still being an elephant; the book teaches that you are better as you were created," the author stated amid early criticisms.

St. Clair has voiced her concerns about the concept of transgender identity, saying, "I believe the whole transgender concept is confusing for children and ultimately harmful if they make life-altering decisions, like gender transition, when they aren't necessarily trans," as reported by the Daily Mail.
