Ashley St. Clair, a 26-year-old conservative influencer known for her work with *The Babylon Bee* and Fox News appearances, dropped a bombshell on social media Friday: she claims Elon Musk fathered her five-month-old baby. In a late-night post on X, she explained she’d kept quiet to protect her child’s privacy but decided to speak out after learning tabloids were about to expose the story. She ended her statement with the Latin phrase *“Alea iacta est”* (“The die is cast”) and pleaded with the media to respect her family’s privacy.
Conservative figures like Candace Owens and Mike Cernovich rallied behind her, slamming the media for targeting children. Owens called journalists “parasites,” while Cernovich accused the press of having “no low” they wouldn’t sink to. St. Clair agreed, calling the alleged doxxing of her baby “bottom of the barrel.”
Musk, who hasn’t confirmed or denied the claim, is already a dad to **12 kids** with three women: six with ex-wife Justine Wilson, three with musician Grimes, and three with Shivon Zilis, a former Neuralink exec. Grimes—mom to their son X Æ A-12—recently criticized Musk for bringing their child to public events, tweeting, “He should not be in public like this,” after the toddler appeared at the White House.
Meanwhile, internet detectives dug up an old exchange: In 2023, St. Clair praised quitting birth control and Adderall for her mental health, to which Musk replied, “For sure.”
As of now, Musk hasn’t addressed St. Clair’s post—though he’s been actively tweeting about other topics. St. Clair followed up Saturday, thanking supporters and doubling down: “Kids should be off-limits for journalists.” The saga continues…
