Ashley St. Clair has taken to social media to accuse Elon Musk of ghosting her after she gave birth to their child, a secret she claims he wanted to keep hidden indefinitely. The 26-year-old conservative influencer recently shared details about her experience in an interview with the New York Post, stating that Musk pressured her to remain silent about their child’s existence.
According to St. Clair, her relationship with Musk began when he contacted her on X, formerly Twitter. What started as casual online interactions allegedly evolved into a more personal connection, ultimately leading to her pregnancy. She claims that Musk insisted on keeping the baby a secret “forever,” citing concerns for safety and privacy.
Despite the secrecy, St. Clair says Musk provided her with a luxury Manhattan apartment and security details throughout her pregnancy. However, she describes feeling completely isolated, unable to share her journey with friends, family, or the public. She also complied with Musk’s request to omit his name from the birth certificate, further fueling speculation about the extent of their relationship.
“I was told to keep it a secret forever; I was completely isolated. Every part of my career and everything I used to do, I couldn’t do anymore.”
She said.
The New York Post also reviewed text messages between St. Clair and Musk’s financial manager, Jared Birchall, which confirm that she agreed to keep Musk’s name off the birth certificate.
On February 14, St. Clair made her shocking announcement, revealing her child’s existence to the world. Since then, she has been vocal about her frustration, accusing Musk of prioritizing online debates over addressing their private situation.
“He has time to respond to internet smears but not my messages about our child,”
She lamented.
Her team has reportedly been trying to contact Musk for days without success. His only public response has been a cryptic “Whoa” on X, which many interpreted as dismissive. While St. Clair has emphasized that they have been working on a co-parenting agreement privately, she is now urging Musk to publicly acknowledge his role as a father.
St. Clair’s decision to go public was not solely about Musk’s alleged ghosting. She revealed that she and her older son, from a previous relationship, had been subjected to violent harassment from online trolls. She described receiving disturbing messages and threats, including images of her child with violent imagery.
“There was a cohort of very violent stalkers who started threatening my toddler,”-They would send me photos of him with blood and tell me I would witness his death.”
She said.
Initially, St. Clair intended to remain silent but decided to speak out after learning that a tabloid reporter was investigating the story. She felt compelled to reveal the truth but found relief in no longer living in secrecy.
“It is very hard to understate how much I am processing right now,” I am sad that my hand was forced by the media, but there is also a sense of relief. I have been forced to live in secrecy for almost a year.”
She wrote in a statement.
“I didn’t want to go public, but I also didn’t want this story to be twisted by people who don’t know the truth,”
She added.

As of now, Musk has not formally addressed St. Clair’s claims beyond his one-word response. It remains unclear whether he will acknowledge the matter publicly or continue handling it privately.
Many are waiting to see if Musk will break his silence as the controversy unfolds. Meanwhile, St. Clair remains steadfast in her demand for recognition and clarity regarding their child’s future.
“I just want what’s best for my child, This isn’t about me—it’s about doing what’s right.”
she said.
