26 Feb 2025

Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair has been in the spotlight after alleging that she is the mother of Elon Musk's 13th child.

According to the New York Post, she has also filed a paternity suit against the tech billionaire and boasted about having him "wrapped around her finger."

The outlet further reported that she bragged how she could get Musk to "retweet anything," giving fellow conservatives access to his massive reach.

St. Clair is a longtime fixture in conservative circles.

A source described her as someone who "always kind of wanted to be a kept woman," further adding, "You could never trust her because you might not be doing what she could monetize or what she could sensationalize to make her star rise."

After her affair with Musk began in 2023, she reportedly offered to use the relationship to amplify conservative messages.

St. Clair, who has 1.1 million followers on X (formerly Twitter), has had several of her posts engaged with by Musk since they started dating in 2023.

One such interaction was Musk's "wow" on a viral video where she accused Delta Air Lines of flying detained illegal immigrants from Arizona to New York.

However, despite the engagement, she didn't use her influence when a third party asked her to in early 2024, avoiding the request instead.

St. Clair was formerly affiliated with the conservative activist group Turning Point USA but was fired after a photo of her with white nationalist Nick Fuentes and far-right conspiracy theorists Jacob Wohl and Ali Alexander emerged.

She later wrote a children's book, Elephants Are Not Birds, in response to increasing transgender acceptance.

While writing for the satirical conservative website Babylon Bee, she met Musk at X's HQ in San Francisco after his late 2022 acquisition.

In a recent development, St. Clair has claimed she conceived Musk's 13th child during a trip to St. Barths in January 2024.

She revealed this information while filing two petitions in the Manhattan Supreme Court to legally declare Musk as the father of her child and gain sole custody of her five-month-old son.

However, Musk has not publicly acknowledged the paternity of the child yet.
