On Friday, ST Clair publicly revealed that Musk is the father of her baby, sharing the announcement with the Latin phrase Alea iacta est (The die is cast). She explained that she had kept the information private to protect her child but decided to come forward after learning that media outlets were preparing to publish the story.
“I have not previously disclosed this to safeguard my child's privacy and well-being. However, it has become evident that tabloid media intends to release this information, regardless of the potential consequences,” she wrote.
Following Musk’s terse response, ST Clair criticized him for engaging in online speculation instead of responding directly to her.
“Elon, we have been attempting to reach you for several days, but you have not replied. When will you address us directly rather than reacting publicly to claims made by an individual who posted photos of me as a minor?” she stated in a now-deleted comment.
Her representative Brain Glicklich, later confirmed that ST Clair and Musk had been privately negotiating a co-parenting agreement. “Ashley is waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his role as a parent. She hopes that he will crystallize their agreement soon, prioritizing the child’s safety and stability,” he said in a statement.
In additional deleted posts, ST Clair accused Musk of engaging with an X user who allegedly shared inappropriate images of her as a teenager. According to People Magazine, she claimed that the same account had been temporarily restricted by X’s safety team for violating platform policies regarding non-consensual content. Screenshots she shared purportedly showed X’s head of safety confirming that the account had been penalized for a week.

ST Clair also alleged that Musk had recently urged her to have more children but was now choosing to interact with public hypotheses rather than addressing her directly.
At 52, Musk is already a father to 12 children from three different women. He shares five children with his first wife, author Justine Wilson: twins Vivian and Griffin, as well as triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian. Musician Grimes has three children—-X, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus. Additionally, Musk and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis are parents to twins Strider and Azure.
The situation has sparked widespread discussion online, with some questioning Musk’s silence and others criticizing the way personal matters are being publicly aired. Whether he will address the situation in greater detail remains uncertain.
