On February 14, 2025, conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair claimed she and Elon Musk have a 5-month-old child. The Tesla CEO has not publicly confirmed the news. However, his daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has since claimed she learned of Elon Musk’s 13th child on social media.
Elon shares six children with his first wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson, including son Nevada (who died at 10 weeks old from SIDS); twins Griffin and Vivian, 20; and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian, 18.
He went on to welcome three kids with singer Grimes: son X Æ A-Xii, 4, daughter Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, 3, and son, Techno Mechanicus, 2.
Elon also shares girl-boy twins Azure and Strider, 3, and a third child — whose name and sex have not been revealed — born in 2024 with Neuralink director Shivon Zilis.

Ashley St. Clair shared the baby news on Valentine’s Day.
On Valentine’s Day via X, Ashley called out Elon as the father of her child.
“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world,” she wrote. “Elon Musk is the father. I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.”
She continued, “I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting.”
As of writing, Elon Musk has not confirmed he fathered a 13th child.
Elon, a Donald Trump-appointed leader of the new Department of Government Efficiency, has not publicly responded to Ashley’s claims.
On February 15, a spokesperson for Ashley wrote on X, “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.”
Vivian said she found out about her new half sibling via Reddit.
After the news broke about Elon’s unconfirmed 13th child, Vivian took to TikTok with her reaction.
“Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I found out I had half siblings through Reddit, I’d have two nickels… which isn’t alot but It’s weird that it happened twice, right?” she wrote.

In the comments, her followers showed their support.
Vivian’s TikTok followers reacted to her video mostly by sharing similar stories or using dark humor.
One person wrote, “You are having a disproportionate number of character-building experiences 😭,” while someone else shared, “Girl I feel for you I really do 😭.”
Another commented: “I found out I have a brother through Facebook 😭 It gets better girl. My dad died, I hope you get that same gift 💕.”
Yet another TikTok user commented: “I found out through Facebook that I had a half sister WITH MY SAME NAME. Thanks bio dad.”
Vivian also shared the unconventional way she found out about a different half sibling.
In another TikTok video posted on February 16, Vivian recounted how she found out about the birth of Techno on the subreddit r/rupaulsdragrace.
She explained that in 2022, she and Grimes weren’t talking but “weren’t on bad terms or anything.” That’s when Vivian stumbled upon a tweet from a former RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant that read, “Not grimes poppin out another axolotl.” She checked the news and learned it was true.
In the comments, Vivian told followers, “Y’all, please don’t go send hate to Grimes- she’s been through enough💀.”
She later added, “I’m going to reiterate, we did not talk at the time and she was very occupied especially emotionally. It makes sense she just forgot to tell someone.”
