Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has publicly addressed claims made by conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair that he fathered her child. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Musk stated that he is open to taking a paternity test to confirm whether he is the father of St. Clair’s six-month-old son. This marks the first time Musk has directly responded to the allegations.
What Elon Musk said on Ashley Clair’s claim of having his child
Elon Musk revealed that he has provided St. Clair with $2.5 million in financial support and continues to send $500,000 annually for the child’s care, despite not being certain of his paternity. “I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out. No court order is needed,” Musk wrote in his post.

St. Clair, however, refuted Musk’s claims, stating that he had previously refused to take a paternity test before the child was born. She accused Musk of withdrawing most of the financial support as a form of retaliation and control. “You weren’t sending
me
money, you were sending support for your child that you thought was necessary… until you withdrew most of it to maintain control and punish me for disobedience,” St. Clair responded on X.

Elon, we asked you to confirm paternity through a test before our child (who you named) was even born. You refused.
And you weren’t sending *me* money, you were sending support for your child that you thought was necessary… until you withdrew most of it to maintain control and punish me for “disobedience.” But you’re really only punishing your son
It’s ironic that your last effort in court was to try to gag me while you use a social media channel you literally own to distribute derogatory messages about me and our child to the entire world. It’s all about control with you, and everyone can see it.
America needs you to grow up, you petulant man-child.
The feud has drawn significant public attention, with St. Clair alleging that Musk has had minimal involvement in the child’s upbringing and has only met the infant three times. She also claimed that Musk attempted to silence her through court orders while using his social media platform to share derogatory messages about her and their child.
