Billionaire Elon Musk is at the eye of a storm on social media after a social media influencer Ashley St. Clair declared that she had delivered his child 5 months before. Instead of issuing a straightforward response to the claim, Musk shot back against rumors that St. Clair had long been planning how to entrap him. He made his first short reply a day following St. Clair's public post.
Elon Musk has finally responded to conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair's claim that she gave birth to his child five months ago. However, instead of directly addressing her allegations, Musk reacted to a post accusing St. Clair of plotting for years to have his baby. "Whoa," Musk wrote on X in response to the claim that St. Clair had "plotted for half a decade to ensnare" him. This brief comment came a day after St. Clair declared it publicly, stating she and the Tesla CEO share a child.
Unimpressed by Musk's choice of response, St. Clair fired back at him, accusing him of ignoring her private messages. "Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days, and you have not responded. 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?" she wrote in a now-deleted post. A screenshot of her reply, however, has gone viral on X.
In another deleted tweet, St. Clair attacked the Tesla CEO for not replying to her text messages but to posts from the person who initially posted her "underage" pictures. "It's interesting that Elon is responding to this clearly in jest screenshot that was discussed with his team months ago in a documented call," she said, adding, "Now he decides to respond to it publicly from an account that posted underage photos of me as if he wasn't asking me to have more children last week. I would like to take this offline for our child's sake and have been attempting to do so for weeks." St. Clair has now deleted the post, but a screenshot of the same has been going viral on social media.
Her representative, Brian Glicklich, had earlier said that she and Musk had been working towards an agreement regarding their child. "It is disappointing that a tabloid reporter, who repeatedly ambushed Ashley and her family, made it impossible to complete that process confidentially," he said and added that she was waiting for Musk to publicly acknowledge his role as a father.
Musk, who has 12 other children with three women, hasn't responded directly to the claims made by St. Clair. He shares five children with his first wife, Justine Wilson, three with musician Grimes, and twins with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. St. Clair, according to the New York Post, claimed that Musk wanted to keep her pregnancy a secret for the sake of 'privacy', but she was forced to speak out after being pursued by the media.
While there have been enormous allegations made during the interview and against Musk and some details to the relationship from St. Clair, Elon Musk continues posting with no direct connection or reference.
Neither of the parties has come up with further information about the situation. The public is still waiting for any updates in this news. St. Clair's allegations against Musk have caught the attention of many due to his celebrity status.
To date, no official statements have been made by either Musk or St. Clair about the outcome of their discussions.
