New York City (USA) - Was he happy about this Valentine's Day post? On Friday evening (local time), influencer and author Ashley St. Clair dropped the baby bombshell on Elon Musk's (53) own social media platform X: The Trump supporter claimed to have secretly given birth to a child months ago. The father? The billionaire and highly controversial entrepreneur himself!

It would already be child number 13 for Musk. The richest man in the world already has a total of twelve children with Justine Wilson (52), singer Grimes (36) and his employee Shivon Zilis (39).

"Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world," wrote St. Clair on Twitter follower X. Then the surprise: "Elon Musk is the father."

She had kept the birth a secret for so long to ensure the privacy and safety of her child. But in the past few days, she says, she has realized that the tabloid media will reveal the baby's existence.

"I want to make it possible for our child to grow up in a normal and safe environment," the conservative influencer explained. She asked for her baby's privacy to be respected. Elon Musk himself has not yet commented on his alleged offspring.

For some time now, Musk has been less and less in the public eye as a successful entrepreneur, but rather through his scandals and political influence.

It is not known how he got to know Ashley St. Clair, but both are a vocal part of US President Donald Trump's (78) "MAGA" movement ("Make America Great Again"). Multi-billionaire Musk has even recently been appointed head of the newly created government organization "Department of Government Efficiency".

St. Clair (26 years old according to the Sun, 31 according to the New York Post), on the other hand, made a name for herself with a transphobic children's book and her right-wing conservative views on issues such as migration and abortion.
