After Conservative influencer Ashley Clair claimed the father of her five-month-old son is Elon Musk and Elon Musk did not acknowledge it despite already having a number of children from different mothers, speculations are rife over what happened and why Elon Musk did not acknowledge his 13th child.
Ashley’s version of the story
Ashley made the claim on social media and said she had to do this because tabloid media already got to know that Elon Musk is the father of her child.Then she sued Elon Musk seeking sole custody of the child. In her lawsuit, she attached screenshots of her chats with someone whose name she saved on her phone as ‘EM’. EM asked her about her wellbeing after the childbirth and also said he wanted to ‘knock her up again’.
In May 2023, Ashley and his then-boss Seth Dillon, the CEO of Babylon Bee, a satire website, went to meet Elon Musk at the Twitter (now X) headquarters in San Francisco for an interview. Ashley revealed the photos of meeting Elon. Soon after, according to Ashley’s story, Elon Musk ‘slid’ into her DMs and their apparent romance began. This romance continued till she got pregnant. Elon Musk asked her to keep it a secret and kept her in a luxurious apartment with a large security detail. She said Elon Musk met with the child only once and did not even ask for his photos. She also wanted a paternity test from Elon Musk.
Elon Musk’s version
‘Woah’ and ‘Yikes’ are the two responses that Elon Musk has so far given in reacting to posts concerning Ashley and her son.
Conspiracy theories
Influencer Isabella Moody claimed Ashley planned to trap Elon Musk with a baby. In support of her theory, she produced some purported chat screenshots in which Ashley apparently gushed that Elon Musk followed her on social media. “I need his rocket babies,” one of the chats said.
Elon supporters are saying if Ashley wants privacy for her and her children, then why did she go public with her chats unless her real intention is to trap Elon Musk?
Laura Loomer, a known conspiracy theorist, said she feels that Ashley’s target is to harm President Trump.
Why is Elon Musk not acknowledging his 13th son?
Elon Musk is a pro-natalist and he has a legion of children from different women. Speculations are rife whether he is not acknowledging this one because it would affect his relationship with Neuralink director Shivon Zilis who appears to be in a relationship with Musk and is also the mother of three of his children.
