Ashley St. Clair, a conservative influencer and author, has announced that she has given birth to Elon Musk’s 13th child. St. Clair, 31, made the revelation in a post on X late Friday night, quoting the Latin phrase “Alea iacta est” (“The die is cast”), suggesting a significant turning point in her life.
In her statement, St. Clair criticized the far-left media, alleging they are planning to doxx her and her child in an effort to attack Musk, who has been a target of leftist critics due to his business ventures and support for conservative causes.
“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father,” she wrote.
“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 added.
“In all sincerity, appreciate the kind words. Wish I did not feel the need to make a statement. Kids should be off limits for journalists. Will be spending time with my family & logging off for a while.”
Elon Musk has not yet responded publicly to the announcement. Meanwhile, many in conservative circles and St. Clair’s supporters have praised her decision to share the news on her own terms.
Earlier this week, Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) website was hacked after cyber attackers exploited a security vulnerability, allowing them to post unauthorized messages. One hacker left a statement reading, “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN.”
The website, which tracks Musk’s efforts to cut wasteful government spending, was reportedly unsecured and pulled data from an open database that could be edited by anyone, according to two individuals who identified the vulnerability and spoke with 404 Media.
A hacker who discovered the flaw modified the site to display a message stating, “This is a joke of a .gov site.” Another message mocked the team’s oversight, reading, “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN.”
The breach comes just days after DOGE’s official website launch, where Musk emphasized the importance of transparency. “We post our actions to the DOGE handle on X, and to the DOGE website,” Musk stated. “So all of our actions are maximally transparent.”
