Musk addressed the contentious issue of his parentage with conservative commentator Ashley St. Clair after she alleged that he had decreased the financial assistance for their child.
The billionaire responded to a post by Republican firebrand Laura Loomer, who accused St. Clair of taking a “jab” at Musk and “hiring anti-Trump” lawyers to sue the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Loomer shared a video of St Clair outside her Manhattan apartment, claiming she was trying to sell off her $100,000 Tesla gifted to her by Musk.
She wrote, “She said she’s selling it to make up for $100,000 in alleged cuts to her child support payments from Elon. [St. Clair] took a jab at @elonmusk telling people to check the Tesla Stock, adding, ‘I’m not the only one cleaning up after Elon’s messes.'”

In response, Musk commented, “I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but [I] am not against finding out. No court order is needed. Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year.”

Ashley St. Clair Wants The Court To Declare The Billionaire As Her Child’s Father

Since announcing the news of her and Musk having a child together, St. Clair has taken legal action against the Tesla boss.
According to the New York Post, she filed two petitions against Musk, with one of them asking the Manhattan court to declare Musk as the child’s father legally.
The journalist also claimed that she and the Space X boss conceived the child during a getaway trip to St. Barths in January of the previous year.
St. Clair added a photo of Musk holding an infant, presumed to be the 13th child, to support her claims.
She also added flirtatious texts they allegedly exchanged while they were an item.
As part of her request, St. Clair also asked the court to compel Musk to submit to a DNA test, which will prove he is the child’s father.

The Journalist Wants Full Custody Of Her Child

In her other petition, St. Clair reportedly asked the court to grant her sole custody of the child while calling out Musk for shirking his fatherhood responsibilities.
The journalist claimed that Musk was a no-show during the child’s birth and added messages between her and the Neuralink boss where he only asked “all well” in response to a picture of herself and the newborn she sent to him from the hospital bed.
St.Clair also alleged that since the child’s birth several months ago, Musk only visited three times, with two of those meetings occurring in Manhattan, where she lives.
Her filing turned up more revelations, including why she kept Musk’s name out of the baby’s certificate.

In one of the messages St. Clair included, she could be seen assuring the tech mogul of not being named in the document after he claimed that he receives “credible death threats every day.”
Did Ashley St. Clair Plot To’ Baby Trap’ Elon Musk?

Musk has previously reacted to discussions about his alleged baby mama, St. Clair. In February, he issued a short response to shocking claims that the journalist plotted to get with him.
An X influencer named Isabella Moody alleged that St. Clair had planned for years to “baby trap” the tech mogul in response to St. Clair leaking alleged messages she had with Musk amid their relationship.
To add credibility to her claim, Moody shared on her page purported text messages between her and St. Clair where the latter said she wishes to “seduce” Musk and wants his “rocket babies.”
“She doesn’t care about ‘privacy.’ She planned to seduce him by her own admission, and now she’s leaking his texts,” the influencer added about St.Clair, which elicited a “Whoa” from Musk.

When another conservative influencer, Laura Loomer, slammed St. Clair over the allegations of masterminding her pregnancy for Musk, the tech mogul had another shocking one-word response.
This time, he wrote “Yikes” with an exclamation mark, seemingly expressing alarm about the revelation.
Ashley St. Clair Claims She Was Told To Keep Her Baby A ‘Secret Forever’

St. Clair has also revealed that she was asked to keep her pregnancy a “secret forever.”
According to The Telegraph, the conservative influencer said, “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.”
St. Clair now expects that Musk will reach an agreement with her about the upbringing of their child, one that they had previously been working on “privately.”
“We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley, to end unwarranted speculation,” said Brian Glicklich, the author’s representative on X.
Glicklich added, “Ashley trusts that Elon intends to finish their agreement quickly, in the best interests of the wellbeing and security of the child they share.”
