While Elon Musk makes enough headlines as a part of DOGE, what gets him into many controversies each week is his personal life. From women claiming to be his baby’s mama to those sharing how they refused to become one, Elon Musk’s romantic life is nothing short of a public drama. Recently, Ashley St. Clair, a public figure and author, claimed that she had welcomed a new baby into the world, and the father was Elon Musk.
While earlier, Musk remained mum on the matter, in recent interviews, Ashley has revealed that their 7-month-old son was named Romulus by Musk. The billionaire allegedly also offered her over $15 million along with an additional $100,000 monthly in child support to keep quiet about their kid.

In an interview with the New York Post, Ashley revealed that she and Musk began talking on X in May 2023. “Musk was very funny. He was smart. He was very down-to-earth. It started with X interactions, and he slid into my DM’s. I think it was a meme,” she recalled.
“And at one point he said, ‘Are you ever in San Francisco or Austin?’ And I said, ‘I am in Austin and Texas a good amount of work.'” She added that she worked for the Babylon Bee, a conservative satirical website, at that time.
They finally met after Musk restored Babylon Bee to X from an 8-month suspension, and the company’s CEO, Seth Dillon asked Ashley to fly to San Francisco to interview Musk. “After the interview, I got a text from him saying, ‘Feel like going to Providence (Rhode Island) tonight?'” said Ashley, adding that their alleged romance blossomed from there.

Did Elon Musk donate sperm to Ashley St. Clair?

Recent reports have stated that rather than engaging in a physical intimate relationship, Musk provides women with his sperm to have his baby. Ashley St. Clair, however, stated that their son Romulus was conceived when they got intimate during a New Year’s trip to St. Barts, as per a report by the Wall Street Journal.
She also claimed that Musk started joking that they should “pick a name” for their future baby after the first time they had sex, adding that he frequently spoke to her about having his children throughout their relationship.
And finally, it was during the New Year’s Eve celebration that Ashley informed Musk that she was ovulating, to which he allegedly responded with “What are we waiting for?”
It was in February 2025, that Ashley announced on X that Musk was the father of her son.
