Understandably, Elon Musk has been in the news more so than normal over the past few months as his work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and President Donald Trump's administration continues to send shockwaves through Washington D.C.
And while he probably doesn't mind the media coverage for that part of his life, a bombshell report over the weekend revealed that a conservative influencer admitted that she had a fling with Musk and actually delivered his child five months ago.
According to the New York Post, Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, in what was described as a "shocking" public post on social media, revealed that she gave birth to what would be Musk's 13th child.
Reporters have reached out to Musk for comment, but haven't received anything back at this point.
St. Clair shocked the social media world with her announcement, which she made on her X account.
Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father," she wrote.
She added, "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."

Though it's unlikely to be honored, St. Clair made a request to the media to avoid "invasive reporting" and asked that the child's privacy be respected at this time.
"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," she wrote.
Needless to say, her post sparked a firestorm of feedback across social media.
"The whole world is so lucky you’ve brought life into the world. And the whole world has got you and your family’s back," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "God bless you and your family. Would be nice if legacy media did actual reporting on important issues instead of intruding on peoples’ personal lives and seemingly intentionally putting children in danger. Unfortunate we live in a world where that’s the reality. Keep fighting."
It'll be interesting to see if the media honors the request.
