A MAGA influencer has dropped a bombshell, claiming she's secretly given birth to tech mogul Elon Musk's 13th child. The young conservative firebrand Ashley St. Clair took to Musk's platform, X, to make the startling announcement on Friday night.

St. Clair, notorious for her right-wing ties and polarizing views, celebrated Valentine's Day by announcing that she had a baby with the 53-year-old billionaire last year. "Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world.



Elon Musk is the father," she declared. Musk has had strong beliefs about reproduction , deeming it necessary for the survival of the human race, though he has typically preferred for them to remain anonymous.

Much love to this wonderful family," he posted on X. St Clair had kept this information under wraps to shield her child from the public eye. "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 expressed her desire for her child to have a normal, secure upbringing, pleading with the press to respect their privacy and avoid intrusive journalism. Fellow conservative influencers rallied around St. Clair, countering the backlash against her and Musk.

"Children should always be off limits. Journalists are parasites. Hard to imagine going through this with a young one," Candice Owens commented on X, showing support for St Clair's decision to go public on her terms.

"Better to come out with this on your own terms. George and I will be praying for you, Ash." This child has incredible genetics.

Much love to this wonderful family ❤️ — Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) February 15, 2025 Musk's progeny have been in the spotlight before, particularly for their unconventional names, like his son with singer Grimes, X A-12 Musk. Elon Musk and Grimes, real name Claire Boucher, welcomed their baby boy in May 2020. They intrigued fans with the unique name they chose: X A-12 Musk.

The pronunciation of the unusual moniker has been a topic of speculation, but it seems the parents themselves have differing interpretations. Elon explained that A-12 stood for "Archangel 12, the precursor to the SR-71, coolest plane ever." The former duo, who later welcomed another child named Exa Dark Siderl via a surrogate in December 2021, expanded their family again in 2022 with a baby named Techno Mechanicus.

This news came after Musk had indicated to The New York Post that they had "semi-separated." In a revealing 2023 interview with Wired, Grimes, aged 36, spoke about the unique upbringing Elon Musk's children will likely have: "I think their life is gonna be pretty intense. Being Elon's kid is not the same as being anyone's kid.

In my house, at least, I want it to be more of a crazy warehouse situation and a cool art space." Musk, who has fathered 11 living children by three different women, has invested in a massive 14,400 square-foot estate in Texas purportedly to house his large family. He had six kids with his first wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson, who was married from 2000 until 2008.

Justine recounted the devastating loss in Marie Claire, stating: "I buried my feelings ..

. coping with Nevada's death by making my first visit to an IVF clinic less than two months later. Elon and I planned to get pregnant again as swiftly as possible.

Within the next five years, I gave birth to twins, then triplets." Elon Musk and his former wife Justine expanded their family through IVF in 2004, with twins Vivian and Griffin, followed two years later by triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian. Vivian, now 20 and legally changed her name and gender in 2022, has publicly shared her aversion to her father's one-time ally, President Donald Trump .

Elon supported Trump during his campaign, but this allegiance seems at odds with her views. On Threads's social media platform, Vivian expressed her intentions to leave the country: "I've been considering this for some time, but yesterday made it clear. I don't see my future in the United States.

Even if he's only in office for four years, even if the anti-trans regulations magically don't happen, the people who willingly voted this in are not going anywhere anytime soon." In addition to his older children, Musk welcomed more offspring with Shivon Zilis as they brought twins Strider and Azure into the world in 2021, shortly before the arrival of his and Grimes' third baby. Last year, Musk and Neurolink executive Shivon, aged 38, discreetly celebrated the birth of their third child.

The couple remains private about the child's gender and exact date of birth. Musk has been open about his stance on procreation, encouraging others to grow their families. He took to social media in May 2024 with a stark message: "Just have kids one way or another or humanity will die with a whimper in adult diapers! ".

He further urged his followers: "I'm doing my best to encourage more people to become parents and ideally have three or more kids so humanity can grow.".
