Author Ashley St. Clair claimed on February 16 that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has not yet recognised his 13th child and has now called on him to fulfill their agreement in a new statement and ‘end unwarranted speculation’.
In a statement posted by her representative, Brian Glicklich, which stated, “Ashley and Musk have been privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time."
The statement came just a day after Ashley took to social media and claimed that she gave birth to Elon Musk's child five months ago.
“It is disappointing that a tabloid reporter, who repeatedly ambushed Ashley and her family, made it impossible to complete that process confidentially. We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley, to end unwarranted speculation, and Ashley trusts that Elon intends to finish their agreement quickly, in the best interests of the wellbeing and security of the child they share,” the statement shared by Glicklich said.
Elon Musk reacted to a post shared by a user named MILO, who posted a screenshot of a decade-old comment from Ashley. In the comment, Ashley had jokingly said, “I need it to get Elon Musk's attention for a marriage proposal”.
The post captioned, “Ashley St Clair plotted for half a decade to ensnare Elon Musk”. Responding on this post, Musk wrote, “Woah.”
Not just this, Ashley too had commented Elon Musk's comment. Though her comment is now deleted, several users has posted her comment wherein she wrote, “Elon, We have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not yet 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?”
In her latest post on X, Ashley wrote, “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.”
Taking to X, Ashley St. Clair, who is the author known for her book ‘Elephants Are Not Birds’ claimed saying, “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father."
"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. I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting,” the author added.
Musk and his first wife, Justine Musk, have six children while with musician Grimes, he has a son named X Æ A-Xii and Exa Dark Sideræl and Techno Mechanicus. He also has twins son Strider and daughter Azure (through IVF) and another child with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. If the claims made by Ashley is accurate, allegedly, this would be the 13th child of Tesla’s CEO and the head of DOGE.
