Following Elon Musk’s surprising revelation about his 13th child, social media users have been quick to highlight a recurring theme.
Ashley St. Clair has previously mentioned in an interview that her alleged relationship with Musk began when he ‘slid’ into her DMs.
According to court documents, the founder of SpaceX and the influencer-turned-author embarked on a ‘romantic relationship in or about May 2023’.
This reportedly led to the conception of their son, who was born in September 2024.
Musk claimed uncertainty about the child’s paternity when St. Clair went public, with the former right-wing activist stating she requested a paternity test to verify if her son was his, but he allegedly declined.
The Wall Street Journal later published receipts between St. Clair and Musk, featuring a paternity test result indicating a ‘99.9999%’ probability that Musk is the father.
Although the Twitter owner has yet to officially acknowledge he is the child’s father, he recently vowed to seek full custody of the one-year-old.
“I will be filing for full custody today, given her statements implying she might transition a one-year-old boy,” the tech mogul declared.
Despite Musk’s assertion, St. Clair has never claimed she intends to ‘transition’ their young son, a point many have noted online.
“Where does she say she is thinking about ‘transitioning a one-year-old?’,” questioned one user. Another noted: “I don’t think it was a real threat. I can’t see Elon wanting to actually go to court and plead his case nor having to do any of the actual work that comes with custody.”
A third remarked: “Beyond parody.”
Recently, St. Clair has shared her regrets over past comments she made about the trans community.
Someone tweeted her: “You’ve previously engaged in blatant transphobia, how do you feel about trans people in the wake of noticing how the far right truly is?”
St. Clair replied: “I feel immense guilt for my role. And even more guilt that things I have said in the past may have caused my son’s sister more pain. Idrk how to make amends for many of these things, but I have been trying incredibly hard privately to learn + advocate for those within the trans community that I’ve hurt.”
Representatives for both Musk and St. Clair have been contacted for comment.
