A MAGA influencer made it public on Valentine's Day that she gave birth to a child with Elon Musk five months ago. Which makes the US billionaire the father of thirteen children.

26-year-old Ashley St. Clair, a conservative influencer and author of the movement "Make America Great Again" (MAGA), wrote on X on Friday evening: "Five months ago I had a baby. Elon Musk is the father."

Babies as a "side job"
In order to protect the child's privacy and safety, she would have kept quiet until now, "but in the last few days it has become clear that the tabloid media wants to do this, regardless of the damage it will cause."

Shortly after the announcement, Musk penned a cryptic post on X in response to a fan who claimed that "another baby" was probably another one of Musk's "side jobs". Musk responded with a crying, laughing emoji.

Children from three other women
Musk has at least twelve other children with three women: Justine Wilson, Claire Elise Boucher, known as Grimes, and with his coworker Shivon Zilis. 

Zilis, an operations manager on Musk's Neuralink project, had twins with him via surrogacy in November 2021, a month before his daughter with Grimes, Exa Dark Siderael, was born - also via surrogacy. Grimes and Musk finally separated a few weeks after the birth of their third child, Techno Mechanicus - nicknamed Tau - in 2022.

Their four-year-old son X Æ A-12 is considered the Tesla boss's favorite son and also lives with him, while the younger siblings live with the singer. Grimes' attempts to gain custody of X have so far failed. X recently accompanied his father to a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and to a press conference with US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, who praised the child as a "person with a high IQ".
