Elon Musk responded after conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair claimed she gave birth to his child five months ago. He reacted on X to a post suggesting she had spent years planning to have his baby, simply writing, “Whoa.”
St. Clair, 26, publicly stated on Friday that she and Musk share a child.
Her representative, Brian Glicklich, said they had been privately working on an agreement for co-parenting but were forced to address it publicly due to media interference. He added that St. Clair is waiting for Musk to acknowledge his role.
St. Clair later responded to Musk’s post, criticizing him for addressing rumors instead of communicating with her directly. “We’ve been trying to reach you for days, but you haven’t responded,” she wrote.
Musk, who has 12 other children, shares five with his first wife, Justine Wilson, three with musician Grimes, and three with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
St. Clair said she had kept the news private to protect her child but was left with no choice. She asked for privacy and later thanked supporters before logging off. Meanwhile, Musk has continued posting about unrelated topics since her announcement.
