The news about Elon Musk’s newborn follows the claims made by Ashley St. Clair, a 26-year-old MAGA influencer, who alleged that she had given birth to Musk’s 13th child, identified as “RSC” in court documents. Ms. Clair has filed a lawsuit for sole custody, asserting that the Tesla CEO has not participated in the child’s upbringing, as reported by The Independent.
She is also seeking a paternity test to confirm Musk’s role as the father. A New York judge has instructed Mr. Musk to respond to her paternity test request by May 29, 2025.
14 children from various relationships
Elon Musk now has at least 14 children.
In addition to his four children with Shivon Zilis, the tech mogul has five children with his first spouse, Justine Wilson, which include twins Vivian and Griffin, along with triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian. Their first child, Nevada Alexander Musk, tragically passed away at just 10 weeks old.
Musk shares three children with musician Grimes: sons X and Techno Mechanicus, and a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl.
Mr. Musk has expressed his views on the significance of procreation to counter what he sees as a “population collapse.” He advocates for larger families as essential for a sustainable future.
Consistent with his beliefs, Mr. Musk has reportedly offered his sperm to friends and acquaintances.
