Elon Musk Responds After Ashley St. Clair Claims He’s Father of Her 5-Month-Old Child

Elon Musk Responds After Ashley St. Clair: Tesla CEO Elon Musk has broken his silence following conservative influencer Ashley St Clair's claim that he is the father of her five-month-old baby.

The billionaire reacted with a "Whoa" on X while responding to a post suggesting the 26-year-old had been "planning" for five years to have his child.

Ms St Clair announced on Friday that Mr Musk is the father of her baby, writing, "Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father," alongside the Latin phrase Alea iacta est (The die is cast).

In response to a post claiming that St Clair had been "planning" for five years to have Musk’s child, the billionaire reacted with a simple “Whoa.” His brief comment, however, did not sit well with St Clair, who criticised him for engaging in online speculation rather than communicating with her directly.

“Elon, we have been trying to communicate for several days, and you have not responded. When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?” she wrote in a now-deleted post.

However, Ashley St. Clair's tweet response to Elon Musk's post has now been deleted. In the time it was on her timeline, it garnered 63K views, 259 reshares and over 500 comments.

Musk’s reaction has sparked a range of questions, with some people claiming it to be an intentional effort to plot and lure the world’s richest man into a trap, while others requested people to give privacy to St Clair.

In additional deleted posts, St Clair accused Musk of interacting with an X user who allegedly shared inappropriate photos of her as a minor. She shared screenshots claiming that X’s head of safety confirmed the account had been temporarily restricted for posting non-consensual images.

She also alleged that Musk had recently encouraged her to have more children but was now choosing to engage with online rumours instead of responding to her directly.

In all sincerity, appreciate the kind words. Wish I did not feel the need to make a statement. Kids should be off limits for journalists

Will be spending time with my family & logging off for a while.
