Elon Musk has been sued by Ashley St Clair, a conservative influencer who revealed she has given birth to their baby, Elon’s 13th.
In the documents seen by TMZ, Ashley, 26, is requesting sole custody of their baby, and claims Elon has only seen the baby three times since it was born in September 2024: on September 21, 2024, in New York City, for two hours, an hour the following day, and a 30-minute meeting in Austin, Texas.
She is also requesting a paternity test since “the father of the subject child has not been legally established”.
Elon is not on the birth cetificate
The documents reveal she did not put Elon’s name on the birth certificate, as per his request, over “security concerns”.
Ashley claims that she and Elon, who once offered to help solve world hunger for $6 billion and then donated the money to his own foundation, began a “romantic relationship in or about May 2023,” and that their child, known only as RSC, was conceived in January 2024.

Ashley St Clair reveals baby news

“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father,” she wrote on Friday February 15, 2024 on Twitter, the site owned by Elon.
© Ashley St Clair“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 continued: “I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting.”

Elon has not spoken publicly about the birth of his 13th child but did reply to a tweet that accused Ashley of “plotting” to meet Elon for five years, simply writing: “Whoa”.
In a now deleted tweet, Ashley then accused the 53-year-old of amplifying “smears” instead of conversing with her directly.
