Conservative commentator and influencer Ashley St. Clair shocked the social media world earlier this month when she announced that Elon Musk was the father of her child.
According to the Daily Mail, the dramatic situation took another interesting turn over the weekend after the conservative activist filed a lawsuit against Musk, asking for sole custody of the child and a demand that Musk take a paternity test.
As a result of the lawsuit, text messages allegedly between the two surfaced, making a shocking situation even more bizarre.
The text messages reveal a clear relationship between St. Clair and Musk, and included photos of her holding the baby after it was born, which elicited kind responses allegedly from Musk.
Some of the alleged text message exchanges between the two were seemingly normal and supportive.
The Daily Mail noted:
St. Clair had sent Musk a picture of her clutching the newborn in the delivery room.
'All well?' Musk replied. To which, she responded 'He is perfect.' Musk replied: 'I look forward to seeing you and him this weekend.'
In another, St. Clair sent him a selfie of her and a friend, to which Musk replied: 'Hi cutie.' She then texted him back, saying: 'Hi, see u soon.'
Another text allegedly from Musk to St. Clair said, "I want to knock you up again."
A photo from the text messages released reportedly showed Musk holding the newborn baby.
The messages also showed a deep conversation between the two about Musk's safety and the promise from St. Clair to remain discreet in the name of safety.
The Daily Mail noted:
'Wake up. This is not the time for sentiment at the expense of safety. If I make a mistake on security [REDACTED] will never know his father.'
St. Clair responded saying: 'That's why the father spot on his birth certificate is blank right, E. Any he has my last name.'
Musk added: 'Necessary for now. Only the paranoid survive' before St. Clair responded saying that 'incredible discretion' had been used and would continue to be.
St. Clair stunned social media users on Valentine's Day when she announced that Musk was the father of her son.
"Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father... 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 wrote in the lawsuit that its in the best interest of the child for her to have sole legal and physical custody of her son.
Only time will tell if Musk will put up a fight.
