St Clair, who previously worked for The Babylon Bee, a satirical website, and has written an anti-woke children’s book about gender identity, 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 an interview with The New York Post published on Saturday, St Clair claimed that the Tesla and SpaceX CEO had “slid into her DMs” on X in May 2023.
St Clair claimed Musk had messaged her: “Are you ever in San Francisco or Austin?” to which she responded: “I am in Austin a good amount for work.”
This reportedly led to an offer to interview Musk at the Twitter HQ in San Francisco which was arranged by her company within two days.
Not long after the interview, St Clair said she received another message from Musk asking: “Feel like going to Providence [Rhode Island] tonight?”
“I was told to keep it secret. I was being asked to keep it a secret forever,” she said referring to her pregnancy, alleging that she had agreed to leave the billionaire’s name off the birth certificate to preserve his privacy.
Florida-born St Clair alleged that she was put up in a lavish apartment in New York’s financial district, while her friends were reportedly made to sign NDAs.
“I was completely isolated during my pregnancy. Every part of my career and everything I used to do I couldn’t do anymore. I was told not to tell anybody,” she claimed.
Brian Glicklich, the author’s representative, said the pair had been working “privately” on an agreement for raising their child.
“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,” he wrote on X.

Musk has not directly responded to the revelations, but has responded to a fan asking if making another baby was one of his “side quests” by posting a crying laughing emoji.
The South African billionaire, who has admitted being “obsessed” with the plight of falling birth rates, has 12 other children spanning three relationships.
He shares five children with Justine Wilson, his first wife, with whom he shares twins Vivian and Griffin and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian. The pair lost their first-born child at just 10 weeks old to sudden infant death syndrome.
In 2022, aged 18, Vivian changed her name from Xavier to Vivian, dropped her father’s name and sought gender transition.
During an interview with Jordan Peterson, a Canadian academic and anti-woke celebrity, in 2024, Musk declared that his trans daughter was dead to him, and that he was “tricked” into giving consent for his child to take puberty blockers.

“I lost my son, essentially. They call it deadnaming for a reason,” he said, adding: “My son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus.”
His marriage to Wilson, a Canadian author, lasted from 2000 to 2008, with Musk later claiming that he contributes $20,000 a month in child support.
Musk’s high-profile relationship with musician Grimes brought the birth of X Æ A-Xii, known as X – who has been seen accompanying his father around the White House – and his daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, and son Techno Mechanicus.
Grimes, who has previously spoken about wanting privacy for her child, reacted with dismay as Musk paraded the toddler at a press event in the Oval Office.
“He should not be in public like this,” Grimes wrote on X in response to a user complimenting her for raising a “very polite” child.
“I did not see this, thank you for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh,” she wrote.
Musk also shares twins, Strider and Azure, with Shivon Zilis, a Neuralink executive. The pair later welcomed a third child in early 2024.
