The conservative influencer who claims to have given birth to Elon Musk’s 13th child spoke publicly for the first time Saturday about her alleged relationship with the billionaire X owner — which she claimed began in her DMs.
In an exclusive sit down from her glitzy Manhattan pad Saturday, Ashley St. Clair claimed to The Post that the 53-year-old Tesla and Space X mogul is “funny” and “down to Earth” — but said that he wanted to keep their baby a secret for everyone’s safety.
Still, she couldn’t be happier.
“My child is the most perfect thing that happened to me. I wouldn’t change anything,” gushed St. Clair, 26.
St. Clair broke the internet on Friday when she posted on X that she gave birth to Musk’s baby five months ago, a revelation she said she was forced to make due to prying tabloid reporters.
Musk has not yet acknowledged the allegations — and his reps did not respond to multiple requests for comment by The Post. He has made numerous, unrelated posts on X since his alleged lover made the announcement, however.
“Ashley & Elon have been privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time. It is disappointing that a tabloid reporter, who repeatedly ambushed Ashely and her family, made it impossible to complete that process confidentially,” her representative Brian Glicklich said in a statement on X Saturday.
“We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashely, 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.
The platform, which Musk bought for $44 billion in 2022, is where the two first crossed paths in May 2023, according to St. Clair.
“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.
At the time, she “didn’t particularly have much interest in Elon” other than his acquisition of Twitter. She first became aware of the billionaire thanks to her “gay best friend” who frequently asked her to watch videos of Musk’s SpaceX rocket launches.
“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 for work.’” St. Clair continued, adding that she worked for the Babylon Bee, a conservative satirical website, at the time.
A short time later, the site’s CEO Seth Dillon called St. Clair and asked her to fly to San Francisco in the next 48 hours, she claimed.
St. Clair complied and claimed she met Musk for the first time at Twitter’s headquarters. She was 24 and Musk was 51.
“After the interview, I got a text from him saying “Feel like going to Providence [Rhode Island] tonight?” St. Clair continued.
The alleged romance blossomed from there, she claimed, until she became pregnant.
She claimed she was restricted from telling more than a close-knit circle of people that she was even carrying a child.
“I was told to keep it secret. I was being asked to keep it a secret forever,” claimed St. Clair, declining to provide a reason for the confidentiality or any material proof that Musk is the biological father.
Musk allegedly provided her with a lavish apartment in the Financial District — where rent for a two-bedroom can soar to nearly $40,000, according to StreetEasy — and a hefty security detail, but no romance, St. Clair claimed.
The young mother was allegedly forced to spend her pregnancy alone.
“I was completely isolated during my pregnancy. Every part of my career and everything I used to do I couldn’t do anymore. I was told not to tell anybody,” she claimed.
Around the same time as her pregnancy, the influencer and author’s Instagram went dark for months, until she posted a photo from President Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.
Texts viewed by The Post between St. Clair and Jared Birchall, Musk’s money manager, appear to show that she complied with the billionaire’s wish to be left off the birth certificate to preserve privacy, security and confidentiality.
Birchall, the CEO of Neuralink, which Musk co-founded, did not respond to a request for comment.
Some Musk-obsessed fans apparently began speculating that she had given birth to the Tesla CEO’s baby and began harassing her, both online and on the street, she said.
“There was a cohort of very violent stalkers who started threatening my toddler, they would send me photos of him with blood and that I would witness his blood splattering death and saying I was Elon’s whore,” she claimed, fighting back tears as she referred to her older child from a previous relationship.
St. Clair emphasized she was willing to stay silent because it would also protect her newborn’s privacy –until a tabloid, which she declined to name, started snooping around.
That’s what led her to unleash the shocking X announcement on Friday, accusing the media of trying to do her and her baby harm.
“It is very hard to understate how much I am processing right now. I am sad that my hand was forced by the media to do this now. But there is also a sense of relief because I have been forced to live in secrecy for almost a year of my life,” she wrote.
“I cannot explain the kind of primary pain you feel as a mother and you’re talking to people and they ask you about the one kid, and you have to lie and carry this burden and secret. You have to lie to people you love.”
St. Clair said she has not communicated with Musk since posting the statement, which was not flagged with a community note to warn viewers of misinformation. St. Clair said she notified his team that she would be writing about her claims on X on Friday before she hit send.
“He ignored it,” she claimed
Despite the drama, St. Clair is at peace with her decision to go public — but hopes the revelation will allow her to give her baby a normal life.
“Almost every relationship in my life would be bastardized and disingenuous because I couldn’t tell them what was going on. My son has never taken a walk outside — in five months. I have never been able to take my baby for a walk. I was terrified that someone would see I had a baby and it would get out,” she continued.
The mother-child duo have met some of Musk’s other 12 children but not their mothers. They have spent time with Musk’s mother, Maye Musk — though she didn’t know about the pregnancy.
St. Clair asked to keep the baby’s name and gender a secret, but revealed they are happy and healthy.
“I am a good mom. And that’s what drives most of my decisions and my kids are my whole world,” she said.
