Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk has finally responded – albeit cryptically – to claims by conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair that she gave birth to his child five months ago. 

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO, who has so far not directly acknowledged her announcement, issued a one-word response on X on Saturday evening writing simply: ‘Whoa.’

Musk’s reaction was directed in response to another a post suggesting that St. Clair had ‘plotted for HALF A DECADE to ensnare Elon Musk.’ 

But the woman at the center of it all wasted no time in firing back.

‘Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded,’ St. Clair wrote, taking aim at Musk’s alleged lack of engagement on the matter. 

‘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?’

Within the hour, St. Clair’s biting response was removed from X.  

In an earlier statement, she acknowledged the overwhelming response, thanking those who expressed kindness.

Musk, who had so far remained silent on the allegations for days, issued a one-word response on X writing simply: ‘Whoa’

St. Clair wrote another fiery tweet moments later but it was removed shortly after she posted

‘In all sincerity, appreciate the kind words. Wish I did not feel the need to make a statement. Kids should be off limits for journalists,’ she wrote, before hinting at a social media break.

The revelation that Musk and St. Clair allegedly share a child was made public by her on 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,’ she stated. 

Her representative, Brian Glicklich, reiterated her claims, emphasizing that Musk and St. Clair had been ‘privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time.’ 

St. Clair, 26, alleges the romance began with a simple direct message on Musk’s X platform.

‘Musk was very funny. He was smart. He was very down to Earth. It started with X interactions and he slid into my DMs. I think it was a meme,’ St. Clair said as she detailed how the back and forth soon blossomed into a clandestine romance.

In St. Clair’s stunning announcement she revealed how she was forced to go public after allegedly being asked to keep the pregnancy a secret. 

‘I was told to keep it secret. I was being asked to keep it a secret forever,’ she admitted to the New York Post.

St. Clair’s camp insists there has been ongoing private discourse about Musk’s involvement in their child’s life although she agreed to leave the billionaire’s name off the birth certificate to preserve his privacy, security and confidentiality.

She alleges that Musk provided her with a lavish apartment in New York’s Financial District. Along with the residence came a security detail – but no public acknowledgment.

‘I was completely isolated during my pregnancy. Every part of my career and everything I used to do I couldn’t do anymore. I was told not to tell anybody,’ she claimed. 

‘I am a good mom. And that’s what drives most of my decisions and my kids are my whole world,’ she told The Post. 

The influencer, who previously worked for the conservative satirical website The Babylon Bee, says she first met Musk in May 2023 after a sudden work trip to Twitter’s headquarters. 

At the age of 24, she claims she was quickly swept into a world of secrecy and luxury.

‘At one point, he asked, “Are you ever in San Francisco or Austin?” And I said, “I am in Austin a good amount for work.”‘

According to St. Clair, the relationship only intensified from there culminating in her pregnancy, which she alleges Musk was adamant about keeping under wraps.   

‘It is very hard to understate how much I am processing right now. I am sad that my hand was forced by the media to do this now. But there is also a sense of relief because I have been forced to live in secrecy for almost a year of my life,’ she wrote on X. 

‘I cannot explain the kind of primary pain you feel as a mother and you’re talking to people and they ask you about the one kid, and you have to lie and carry this burden and secret. You have to lie to people you love.’ 

St. Clair also admits she has not spoken with Musk since posting her revelation, though she did notify his team beforehand. 

‘He ignored it,’ she claimed, but notes how she has no regrets and has chosen to chosen to keep the baby’s name and gender a secret.

‘My child is the most perfect thing that happened to me. I wouldn’t change anything,’ she insisted.   

‘Almost every relationship in my life would be bastardized and disingenuous because I couldn’t tell them what was going on. My son has never taken a walk outside — in five months. I have never been able to take my baby for a walk. I was terrified that someone would see I had a baby and it would get out,’ she revealed.

Now that the secret is finally out, St. Clair is hoping for Elon to publicly acknowledge the allegations. 

‘We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role… Ashley trusts that Elon intends to finish their agreement quickly, in the best interests of the wellbeing and security of the child they share,’ her representative stated.

If recent allegations are to be believed, a new child with conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair would extend Musk’s brood to 13

Musk has 12 other children spanning multiple relationships.

His children include twins Vivian and Griffin and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian from his marriage to Justine Wilson. The couple divorced in 2008. 

His high-profile relationship with musician Grimes led to the birth of three more children: X Æ A-Xii (known as ‘X’), Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus. 

Musk also shares twins, Strider and Azure, with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis as well as a third child, a baby boy, revealed last summer.
