Everything I’ve learned about Elon Musk’s relationship with Ashley St. Clair I’ve learned against my will! I think for the sake of the baby, it’s best not to air grievances in front of millions of people. Because the child will Google his or her parents someday. ♥️ pic.twitter.com/PuDNQx7rUQ

She claimed that she had kept the information private for the safety of the child. However, she decided to go public after learning that tabloids were preparing to break the story.
The influencer’s representative, Brian Glicklich, 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 mentioned in a statement.
Clair had also alleged that Musk had recently asked her to have more children. She alleged that Musk was now choosing to engage with speculation rather than directly communicating with her. Elon Musk, 52, has 12 other children with three women. According to reports, he has five children with his first wife, Justine Wilson. With musician Grimes, he has three children and he shares twins with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
