'Whoa': Elon Musk responds to conservative influencer's claim that he is the father of her child

The billionaire reacted with a comment "Whoa" on X  as he responded to a post suggesting the 26-year-old had been "planning" for five years to have his child.

St Clair Friday claimed that Musk is the father of her baby.

"Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father," She wrote alongside the Latin phrase Alea iacta est (The die is cast).

St Clair said that she had kept the information private for the safety of the child but decided to go public after learning that tabloids were preparing to break the story.

"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.

Following Musk's reaction, St. Clair called him out for engaging in online speculation rather than responding directly to her.

"Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days, and you have not responded. When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?" she wrote in a now-deleted comment.

Her representative, Brian Glicklich, later confirmed that she and Musk had been privately working on an agreement regarding co-parenting.

"We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley, to end unwarranted speculation, and Ashley trusts that Elon intends to finish their agreement quickly, in the best interests of the wellbeing and security of the child they share," he said in a statement.
