Ashley St. Clair claims to have mothered SpaceX founder Elon Musk’s thirteenth child
Elon Musk has now acknowledged a lawsuit filed against him by a woman claiming to have given birth to his thirteenth child.
Ashley St. Clair Claims She Secretly Had a Baby with Elon Musk
In a bombshell social media post back in February, Ashley St. Clair stunned followers by claiming that she shares a child with SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Her post read:
“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.”
She explained that she had kept the news private to protect their child’s safety and well-being, but with tabloids poised to break the story, she decided to go public on her own terms.
“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.”
Despite the revelation, St. Clair insisted she would not allow media scrutiny to disrupt her child’s upbringing.
“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.”
With no comment from Musk himself, the internet is buzzing with speculation—is this the latest twist in Musk’s complex personal life, or something else entirely?

Ashley St. Clair Sues Elon Musk for Sole Custody and Paternity Test
The drama surrounding Ashley St. Clair’s claim that she shares a child with Elon Musk has now escalated to the courtroom.
St. Clair, 26, has officially filed a lawsuit seeking sole custody of her son, along with a paternity petition—a legal action to confirm Musk as the father.
According to her filings, she and Musk, 53, began a romantic relationship in May 2023 and conceived their child after an encounter in January 2024.
Musk’s Response & Legal Moves
Initially, reports suggested that Musk ignored the lawsuits, but that appears to have changed. He has now lawyered up, hiring his own attorney to address the claims.
The Tesla CEO’s last publicly known relationship was with singer Grimes, with whom he shares three children. Their romance ended in 2022.
As legal battles heat up, the billionaire entrepreneur finds himself at the center of yet another personal controversy—but will he acknowledge St. Clair’s claims, or fight back?

Elon Musk Moves to Seal Legal Battle with Ashley St. Clair
Elon Musk’s legal team has filed a request to seal his ongoing custody and paternity case with Ashley St. Clair—and it appears the request has been granted. According to Mail Online, previously public court documents have now been removed from public access.
Musk’s Alleged Limited Involvement
Before the case was sealed, filings revealed that Musk has only seen St. Clair’s son three times since his birth. His first meeting with the child reportedly didn’t happen until September of last year, and he was not present at the birth, according to St. Clair’s claims.
With the case now behind closed doors, it remains to be seen how Musk will respond to the paternity claims—and whether he will take a more active role in the child’s life.
Elon Musk’s Custody Battle Heats Up Amid Tensions with Ex Grimes
As Elon Musk faces a lawsuit from Ashley St. Clair, his complicated relationship with ex-partner Grimes is also making headlines. The singer has been outspoken about her concerns regarding their son, X AE A-XII (often referred to as X), and Musk’s public appearances with the child.
In February, X joined Musk for a trip to the White House to meet with Donald Trump, and the young boy ended up on television during the event. Grimes, clearly frustrated, publicly stated, “He should not be in public like this.”
This is just one part of the ongoing tension between the former couple. Grimes has also accused Musk of ignoring her while their son allegedly faced a “medical crisis”, intensifying the conflict between them.
As the drama unfolds, Musk’s personal life continues to make waves—not just in the courtroom, but in his relationship with his children as well.
