Elon Musk is taking a break from X having broken his silence after a MAGA influencer claimed she has given birth to his 13th child.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO, 53, has not denied or confirmed 26-year-old Ashley St. Clair’s claim, but issued a one-word response on X on Saturday evening, writing simply: ‘Whoa.’

His decision to go offline follows a series of rambling posts in the last few hours about unrelated matters, including the upcoming release of Grok 3, which Musk called the ‘smartest AI on Earth’.

The tech billionaire put the very unusual decision to take a break from X down to spending time sharpening the tool, writing: ‘Will be honing the product with the team all weekend, so offline until then.’

It comes as Musk and President Donald Trump are set to sit down for a joint interview with Fox News‘ Sean Hannity next week, which will air on Tuesday night.

The historic sit down will be held in the White House, the network confirmed – saying it will pre-taped in the afternoon.

Musk’s previous one-word reaction to St. Clair’s explosive claim was directed in response to another post suggesting the influencer had ‘plotted for HALF A DECADE to ensnare Elon Musk’.

But the young woman wasted no time in firing back, taking aim at Musk’s lack of engagement on the matter.

‘Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded,’ St. Claire 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?’ Within the hour, St. Clair’s biting response was removed from X.

Musk, who had so far remained silent on the allegations for days, issued a one-word response on X writing simply: ‘Whoa’

St. Clair wrote another fiery tweet moments later but it was removed shortly after she posted

In an earlier statement, she acknowledged the overwhelming response, 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, before hinting at a social media break.

The revelation that Musk – who has been married three times – and St. Clair allegedly share a child was made public by her on Friday.

If recent allegations are to be believed, a new child with influencer Ashley St. Clair would extend Musk’s brood to 13.

The tech billionaire has been married three times, twice to Talulah Riley and before that to Justine Musk.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO was married to Justine from 2000 to 2008.

He then married Talulah in 2010 until 2012, and again from 2013 to 2016.

Musk had six children with first wife Justine, the first of whom was born in 2002.

He did not have any children with Tallulah, who he has now been divorced from twice.

‘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 stated.

Her representative, Brian Glicklich, reiterated her claims, emphasising that Musk and St. Clair had been ‘privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time.’

St. Clair alleges the romance began with a simple direct message on Musk’s X platform.

‘Musk was very funny. He was smart. He was very down to Earth. It started with X interactions and he slid into my DMs. I think it was a meme,’ St. Clair said as she detailed how the back and forth soon blossomed into a clandestine romance.

In St. Clair’s stunning announcement she revealed how she was forced to go public after allegedly being asked to keep the pregnancy a secret.

‘I was told to keep it secret. I was being asked to keep it a secret forever,’ she admitted to the New York Post.

St. Clair’s camp insists there has been ongoing private discourse about Musk’s involvement in their child’s life although she agreed to leave the billionaire’s name off the birth certificate to preserve his privacy, security and confidentiality.

She alleges that Musk provided her with a lavish apartment in New York’s Financial District. Along with the residence came a security detail – but no public acknowledgment.

Elon Musk has allegedly fathered a thirteenth child with 26-year-old conservative influencer, she announced on his social media site X on Friday night

‘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.

‘I am a good mom. And that’s what drives most of my decisions and my kids are my whole world,’ she told The Post.

The influencer, who previously worked for the conservative satirical website The Babylon Bee, says she first met Musk in May 2023 after a sudden work trip to Twitter’s headquarters.

At the age of 24, she claims she was quickly swept into a world of secrecy and luxury.

‘Musk was very funny. He was smart. He was very down to Earth. It started with X interactions and he slid into my DMs. I think it was a meme,’ St. Clair revealed

St. Clair made the allegations about Musk being the father of her child on Friday night

‘At one point, he asked, ‘Are you ever in San Francisco or Austin?’ And I said, ‘I am in Austin a good amount for work.”

According to St. Clair, the relationship only intensified from there culminating in her pregnancy, which she alleges Musk was adamant about keeping under wraps.

‘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 on X.

‘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 also admits she has not spoken with Musk since posting her revelation, though she did notify his team beforehand.

‘He ignored it,’ she claimed, but notes how she has no regrets and has chosen to chosen to keep the baby’s name and gender a secret.

‘My child is the most perfect thing that happened to me. I wouldn’t change anything,’ she insisted.

‘Almost every relationship in my life would be bastardised 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 revealed.

Now that the secret is finally out, St. Clair is hoping for Elon to publicly acknowledge the allegations.

‘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.

If recent allegations are to be believed, a new child with conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair would extend Musk’s brood to 13

Musk has 12 other children spanning multiple relationships.

His children include twins Vivian and Griffin and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian from his marriage to Justine Wilson. The couple divorced in 2008.

His high-profile relationship with musician Grimes led to the birth of three more children: X Æ A-Xii (known as ‘X’), Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus.

Musk also shares twins, Strider and Azure, with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis as well as a third child, a baby boy, revealed last summer.

If recent allegations are to be believed, a new child with conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair would extend Musk’s brood to 13.
