Billionaire Elon Musk is known to have 12 children; Nevada, Vivian, Griffin, Kai, Saxon, Damian, X Æ A-12, Exa, Strider, Azure, Techno and his second youngest child, whose name has not been made public.

However this week, children’s author Ashley St. Clair made a headline-making revelation that she has welcomed the X owner’s 13th child.

"Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father. 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 said in her statement.

“I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honour our child’s privacy and refrain from invasive reporting.”

Musk, 53, has not publicly addressed St. Clair’s revelation but he did respond to an X user who without evidence claimed, that St. Clair had “plotted” to “ensnare” him. “Whoa,” he replied.

Speaking to the New York Post, the conservative influencer shared how she and the South African-born billionaire met in May 2023 on the very platform he owns X.

“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.

In the interview, St. Clair confirmed giving birth to a son with Musk but did not reveal the child’s name.
