Elon Musk's Cryptic "Whoa" Sparks Heated Exchange with Influencer Amidst Paternity Claims.

The internet is ablaze with speculation following conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair's bombshell announcement that she gave birth to Elon Musk's child five months ago. The tech mogul's seemingly nonchalant one-word response, "Whoa," on X (formerly Twitter) has only fueled the fire, igniting a fiery exchange with St. Clair and raising more questions than answers.

St. Clair's initial revelation, made on Friday, detailed a clandestine relationship with Musk that allegedly began with a simple direct message on the X platform. She claims the connection blossomed into a romance, culminating in her pregnancy. St. Clair stated she kept the matter private to protect her child's privacy and safety, but felt compelled to come forward after learning that tabloid media was preparing to expose the story.

Her representative, Brian Glicklich, corroborated St. Clair's claims, asserting that she and Musk had been "privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time." St. Clair, 26, alleges the romance began after she connected with Musk on X. She described him as "very funny," "smart," and "very down to earth," recounting how their online interactions evolved into a secret relationship.

In a candid interview with the New York Post, St. Clair revealed the pressure she faced to keep the pregnancy a secret. "I was told to keep it secret. I was being asked to keep it a secret forever," she stated. Despite agreeing to omit Musk's name from the birth certificate to protect his privacy, security, and confidentiality, St. Clair alleges that he provided her with a lavish apartment in New York's Financial District, complete with a security detail – but without any public acknowledgment of their relationship.

St. Clair painted a picture of isolation during her pregnancy, claiming she was unable to continue her career or engage in her usual activities. "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 explained. She emphasized her dedication to motherhood, stating, "I am a good mom. And that’s what drives most of my decisions and my kids are my whole world."

The influencer, who previously worked for the conservative satirical website The Babylon Bee, claims she met Musk in May 2023 after a work trip to Twitter's headquarters. She alleges that Musk initiated contact, asking if she ever visited San Francisco or Austin, which led to further interactions and eventually, the alleged relationship. St. Clair claims Musk was adamant about keeping the pregnancy under wraps.

Following St. Clair's public announcement, Musk's cryptic "Whoa" on X, in response to a post suggesting St. Clair had "plotted for HALF A DECADE to ensnare Elon Musk," ignited a firestorm. St. Clair swiftly responded, directly addressing Musk and criticizing his alleged lack of communication. "Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded," she wrote. "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?" St. Clair's pointed response was later removed from X.

Earlier, St. Clair acknowledged the overwhelming attention her revelation had received, thanking those who expressed kindness. "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," she wrote, hinting at a potential social media break.

St. Clair expressed the emotional toll of keeping such a significant secret. "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 shared on X. She described the pain of having to lie to loved ones about her child. "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 admits she has not spoken with Musk since her initial post, although she claims she notified his team beforehand. "He ignored it," she alleges. Despite the circumstances, St. Clair insists she has no regrets and has chosen to keep the baby's name and gender private. "My child is the most perfect thing that happened to me. I wouldn't change anything," she declared. She also revealed the limitations imposed by her secrecy. "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 explained.

Now that the secret is out, St. Clair hopes for public acknowledgment from Musk. "We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role... Ashley trusts that Elon intends to finish their agreement quickly, in the best interests of the wellbeing and security of the child they share," her representative stated.

Musk is already a father to 12 children from various relationships. His children include twins Vivian and Griffin and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian from his marriage to Justine Wilson. He also shares three children with musician Grimes: X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus. Additionally, he has twins, Strider and Azure, and a third child, a baby boy, with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. If St. Clair's claims are accurate, this new child would bring Musk's total number of children to 13. The world watches and waits for Musk's next move in this unfolding drama.
