Conservative influence Ashley St. Clair claims that she gave birth to Elon Musk’s 13th child in secret five months ago.

Ashley St. Clair — a conservative influencer and author of “Elephants Are Not Birds,” a children’s book that she has described as an “unapologetic rebuke” of “transgender acceptance” — made the allegation in a statement posted Friday on X.

“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father,” St. Clair wrote Friday. “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.”

Musk has previously fathered 12 children with at least three different women.

While Musk hasn’t responded to St. Clair directly, he has commented on posts from other X users regarding the matter.

One user found and screenshotted an old tweet from St. Clair jokingly proclaiming that she wanted a marriage proposal from Musk. Musk’s reply to this post was “Whoa.”

St. Clair called Musk out for responding to so-called “smears” rather than directly communicating with her.

“Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days, and you have not responded,” she wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “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 exclusive interview with The New York Post, St. Clair describes her romance with Musk blossomed until she became pregnant.

“I was told to keep it a secret,” St. Clair said. “I was being asked to keep it a secret forever.”

Despite the secrecy, she says that her initial impression of the world’s richest man was positive. “Musk was very funny. He was smart. He was very down to earth,” she said.
