Elon Musk, the billionaire tech mogul known for his bold ventures and controversial tweets, is once again making headlines—this time for his alleged connection to conservative author Ashley St. Clair and their rumored newborn child. As the drama unfolds, their past flirtatious exchanges on X (formerly Twitter) have resurfaced, adding fuel to the fire.
A History of Spicy Banter
The playful interactions between Musk and St. Clair began in early 2023, when the two were rumored to have first connected. Their exchanges were anything but subtle, with Musk kicking things off with a tweet simply saying, “420.” St. Clair, known for her sharp wit, responded with a cheeky “69,” sparking a series of flirtatious back-and-forths.
In June 2023, St. Clair shared an article about Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin halting his troops’ advance on Moscow. Musk couldn’t resist chiming in with a risqué comment: “The ‘pull out’ method.” He followed up with, “Speaking personally, I obviously prefer the pull in method…” St. Clair playfully fired back with a meme of a dog hitting Musk on the head, captioned, “Go to h*rny jail. BONK.”
Their banter continued into July, when Musk joked about an X user being flagged by a “dck pic bot.” St. Clair joined in, tweeting, “‘Our dck pic bot,’” accompanied by a skull emoji. These exchanges, once seen as harmless fun, have taken on new significance in light of recent events.
The Alleged Newborn Drama
Fast forward to February 2025, and St. Clair has made headlines for claiming that Musk is the father of her five-month-old child. In a statement shared on X, she revealed that she had kept the father’s identity private to protect their child’s safety and privacy. However, relentless tabloid pressure forced her to go public.
St. Clair’s representative, Brian Glicklich, stated that the two had been working privately on an agreement regarding their child’s upbringing. However, intrusive media attention made it difficult to finalize the details. Glicklich emphasized that St. Clair hopes Musk will publicly acknowledge his role as the child’s father to end speculation and ensure the child’s well-being.
A Romance That Started on X
According to St. Clair, their relationship began after they connected on X. She described Musk as “funny,” “smart,” and “down to earth,” revealing that their initial interactions started with memes and direct messages. Their connection deepened after she interviewed him for the conservative satirical website Babylon Bee.
St. Clair claimed that Musk invited her to Providence, Rhode Island, shortly after their interview, marking the beginning of their romance. She alleged that she became pregnant with his child but was asked to keep the pregnancy a secret. St. Clair spent much of her pregnancy in isolation, living in a lavish apartment provided by Musk.
Musk’s Silence and Public Reaction
Despite St. Clair’s claims, Musk has yet to publicly acknowledge the child. If true, this would be his 13th child, adding to the 12 he already shares with three different women: his ex-wife Justine Wilson, singer Grimes, and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
The resurfaced tweets have sparked mixed reactions online. Some social media users found their banter “awkward and cringey,” while others called them “a match made in heaven.” Regardless of public opinion, the situation raises questions about privacy, responsibility, and the challenges of navigating high-profile relationships.
Final Thoughts
As the drama continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Elon Musk’s personal life remains as unpredictable as his professional endeavors. Whether or not he acknowledges his alleged child with Ashley St. Clair, their past flirtatious exchanges serve as a reminder that even the most private moments can resurface in the public eye.
