In a Valentine’s Day statement issued Feb. 14, 2025, social media star and conservative columnist Ashley St. Clair publicly stated that she had a baby boy fathered by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk five months ago. The baby makes Musk the father of 13 children, further showing Musk’s commitment to family and vision for the future of mankind.
St. Clair, known by many through her children’s book Elephants Are Not Birds, publicly broke the news on her social media account, X (formerly Twitter). She indicated she had wanted to respect the child’s privacy,
“I wanted my son’s life to remain private and give him an opportunity to grow up out of the spotlight.”
The announcement has ignited enthusiasm among Musk’s supporters, who view this development as aligning with his advocacy for population growth and nurturing future innovators. Elon Musk has previously emphasized the importance of population expansion, stating,
“If people don’t have more children, civilization is going to crumble.”
Musk’s expanding family includes:
With Justine Wilson: Twins Vivian and Griffin (born 2004), and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian (born 2006).
With Grimes: Sons X Æ A-Xii (born 2020) and Techno Mechanicus (born 2023), and daughter Exa Dark Sideræl (born 2021).
With Shivon Zilis: Twins Strider and Azure (born 2021), and another child born in 2024.
Musk’s dedication to fatherhood is evident in his efforts to involve his children in his professional endeavors. He often brings his son X Æ A-Xii to work, referring to him as his “protégé.”
This hands-on approach indicates Musk’s dedication toward incorporating family into his vision of advancing human progress.
While public figures also including Nick Cannon, as well as NBA YoungBoy, have also increased the number of children, Musk does so differently. His emphasis lies in bringing children well-equipped to lead the way in areas like science, going to space, and technology, aligning with his vision for the future of mankind.
Looking ahead, Musk imagines his children as pioneers in endeavors like colonizing Mars and creating AI. His commitment to family indicates his vision of human progress and the likelihood that his children may play an influential role in charting the future.
