American writer tells the story of ‘secretly giving birth to Elon Musk’

Children’s writer Ashley St. Clair told a love story with Elon Musk, saying she was isolated by the billionaire after being pregnant with his 13th child.

On February 14, Asley St. Clair wrote: “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into this world. Elon Musk is his father.” She said that she previously did not disclose because she wanted to protect her child’s privacy and safety, but now she speaks out because she wants to prevent rumors that can cause harm.

“I plan to let my child grow up in a normal and safe environment. Therefore, I ask the media to respect the privacy of our children, avoid reporting infringing news.”

In addition to the post, she captioned the Latin words “Alea lacta Est” which means “Decided, no regrets” to show her will to protect her child to the end. The article attracted a lot of attention, reaching more than 35 million views.

Currently, Boss X (former Twitter) has not spoken out or verified the information. However, Musk wrote “Whoa” (a word for surprise) under a post claiming that St. Clair spent “half a decade” trapping him. She quickly responded, saying that he should accept contact from her crew, instead of responding to false comments like this.

In an interview with the NY Post on February 15, St. Clair first talked about her relationship with billionaire Elon Musk. She commented that this man is funny, smart, practical and also a person who wants to keep a secret about their common child. According to the writer, the two knew each other because they interacted back and forth on X, then texted each other in 2023. At the time, St. Clair was “not particularly interested in Musk” other than his acquisition of Twitter in 2022.

In the message, Elon Musk asked if she had been to San Francisco or Austin. She replied that she was in Austin because she had a job with a good salary, specifically working for Babylon Bee – a website that satirizes social, political, and religious issues. Shortly afterwards, Seth Dillon, the CEO of Babylon Bee, asked her to arrive in San Francisco within 48 hours. She listened and when she arrived, she met Elon Musk for the first time at Twitter’s headquarters. “After the interview, he texted me, ‘Do you want to go to Providence, Rhode Island tonight?'” she said.

The writer said the relationship blossomed from that trip to the time she became pregnant. St. Clair claims to be restricted by the billionaire from revealing having children to close people. She also refused to give a reason for keeping it secret or any evidence that Musk was the biological father of the baby. “I’m forced to keep quiet, to keep this fact a secret forever,” she added.

According to St. Clair, Musk let her live in a lavish apartment in the Financial District – where the price for a two-bedroom apartment can be close to $40,000 (about a billion VND) and a strong security team at the time of pregnancy. However, she had to go through this period alone, commenting on the relationship without love. “I was completely isolated during my pregnancy. I couldn’t take on any work or do the things I used to do. I was asked not to tell anyone,” she told the news agency.

According to the NY Post, St. Clair is an influencer but during her pregnancy, she did not update her Instagram account. She only returned to this platform with a photo of US President Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20.

Based on the text message between St. Clair and Jared Birchall – Elon Musk’s financial manager – collected by the NY Post, the news agency commented that the beauty complied with the billionaire’s proposal to ensure the privacy of her children by not filling in his name on the birth certificate. However, some “crazy” Elon Musk fans began to suspect that St. Clair gave birth to Musk, so they harassed her online, as well as on the street.

Before having a child with Elon Musk, St. Clair had a son with his ex-lover. The stalkers began to threaten her toddler firstborn. St. Clair tried to hold back her tears when she mentioned her stepson, and said that she was called rude by this group of people.

The writer also emphasized his willingness to remain silent to protect his newborn baby, until some tabloid newspapers began to scrutinize his personal life. This made her decide to make an announcement, accusing them of trying to harm the mother and daughter. “I was sad when the media forced me to make this public, but I was also relieved to be able to say it after nearly a year of living in the dark. I can’t explain the pain you feel as a mother, you have to lie and carry the burden of secrecy when someone asks about the child. You have to lie to the people you love,” she said.

In addition, St. Clair said he has not been in contact with Musk since the post. Previously, she informed the businessman’s team about speaking out, but he ignored it. Despite the attention-grabbing action, St. Clair remained calm, hoping that this decision would bring the mother and daughter a normal life. She now keeps the baby’s name and gender a secret, but says she lives happily and healthily.

On the same day, February 15, Mr. Brian Glickin – a representative of Ashley St. Clair – provided more information about the relationship of St. Clair and Elon Musk. According to him, the two worked secretly to come up with a mutual agreement on child custody for a long period of time. However, a reporter ambushes Ashley and her family, making the process impossible. “We are waiting for Musk to publicly admit his role as a father to St. Clair, to put an end to unfounded speculation. And St. Clair believes that he also intends to end this matter quickly in the best interest of the happiness and safety of the common child,” he wrote in X.

Ashley St. Clair, 26, is a children’s story writer best known for her work Elephants Are Not Birds (2023). In addition to her literary career, she is known as a conservative, with more than a million followers on X. She has also appeared on Fox News channels, participated in podcasts, online shows to discuss the topic of declining birth rates in rich countries.

Besides Ashely St. Clair’s children, Elon Musk has 12 children with three women. He welcomed his first child with his first wife, Justine Wilson, in 2002, but the baby died at 10 weeks old. The two had five more children until they divorced in 2008. After dating singer Grimes in 2018, he has three more children. Elon Musk is dating the CEO of startup Neuralink – Shivon Zilis. They have three children together, with the twins born a few weeks before Grimes picked up their third baby.
