Elon Musk is reportedly a father of 13 children, according to a sensational claim made by a Fox News commentator. This commentator asserts that she has recently welcomed a baby who would be considered Musk’s thirteenth child. The news has stirred conversations and raised eyebrows, given Musk’s previous statements about family and parenting.

Ashley St. Clair, the individual making the claim, has publicly stated that Elon Musk is indeed the father of her newborn child, further complicating the narrative surrounding Musk’s extensive family and his approach to fatherhood.

In a recent post on Musk’s social media platform, X, Ashley shared, “Five months ago I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.” This announcement has not only brought attention to her personal life but also reignited discussions about Musk’s family dynamics and responsibilities.

Ashley elaborated on her decision to disclose this information, stating, “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.” This highlights the ongoing tension between public interest and personal privacy, especially for high-profile individuals.

Ashley continued, stating, “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.” Her plea reflects a common desire among public figures to shield their children from the intense scrutiny that often accompanies fame.

Despite being highly active on X, Elon Musk has yet to respond to Ashley’s claims about his paternity. With over 1 million followers, Ashley’s announcement has reached many, including those who may not follow her directly, suggesting that the story has gained significant traction online.

Musk has been vocal about his concerns regarding declining birth rates and has fathered 12 other children that are publicly known. His children include six with ex-wife Justine Wilson, three with singer Grimes, and three with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his company Neuralink. This situation adds another layer to the ongoing narrative about Musk’s views on family and reproduction.
