Elon Musk wants to keep his family matters private.
In a recent revelation, I, as a lifestyle expert, find myself compelled to discuss a fascinating development that has surfaced regarding SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. Allegedly, Ashley St. Clair claimed that he is the father of her 7-month-old son. To add intrigue to the story, Ms. St. Clair shared that Mr. Musk had proposed a deal worth $15 million, along with monthly payments of $100,000, if she were to keep quiet about the child’s paternity. This intriguing tale has been reported in an interview published in The Wall Street Journal on April 15.
However, St. Clair, who revealed that the child’s name is Romulus, eventually turned down the proposal, informing Jared Birchall, Musk’s wealth manager, “I don’t wish for my son to have the feeling that he’s hidden or kept a secret.
Four days following the 26-year-old’s announcement about her son’s birth on X (previously Twitter), which Musk acquired in 2022, he rescinded his $15 million offer and lowered his monthly support payments to $40,000, she disclosed to a media outlet.
Despite the presidential advisor, who has children with three other women and has not yet publicly acknowledged being Romulus’s father, a recent paternity test on the baby revealed that Elon Musk’s chance of being the father is virtually certain at 99.9999%, according to the Wall Street Journal.
TopMob News has reached out to Musk’s reps for comment but has not heard back.
Previously in March, St. Clair spoke about her financial situation when she stepped out of her Manhattan apartment to give away her $100,000 Tesla to a car salesperson. In a video published by the Daily Mail, she mentioned to a journalist that she was trying to compensate for the 60% reduction in child support that Elon had made to their son.
In response to a viral video, Musk acknowledged the situation but expressed uncertainty about whether the boy in question was his or not. However, he clarified that he was still providing financial assistance for the child, without directly addressing St. Clair’s claim that Musk had reduced his child support payments.
In a post dated March 31st, he stated, “Although I’m unsure about the specifics,” he revealed that he had gifted Ashley $2.5 million and would be providing her with $500,000 annually.
Keep reading for a closer look at Musk’s extensive family tree…
Maye hails from Saskatchewan, Canada but moved with her family to Pretoria, South Africa in 1950 when she was just 7 years old. Her path diverged from Errol Musk’s in the year 1979.
Upon turning 17, Elon relocated to Canada, while Maye, being born in Canada, automatically acquired its citizenship. They both moved to this new country where Maye set up her dietician practice and rose through the ranks to become the President of the Consulting Dieticians of Canada. Additionally, she worked as a model.
2019 found me breathless with excitement when Elon, my idol, cashed out a cool $300 million from selling Zip2. With such a windfall, he graciously gifted an NYC apartment to none other than my mom – his very own superstar! For 13 years, she thrived in the Big Apple, her modeling career soaring even higher under the wing of the prestigious IMG Models agency.
In an essay for CNBC, Maye expressed that he raised his children similar to how our parents raised us when we were young: instilling in them values such as self-reliance, kindness, honesty, thoughtfulness, and politeness. He emphasized the significance of hard work and doing good deeds to them.
Elon’s father is an engineer and like Elon, was born in South Africa.
Despite Errol stating in a 2015 interview with Forbes that he frequently traveled with his children internationally after their parents separated, it appears his relationship with Elon is not ideal.
During a heartfelt interview with Rolling Stone in 2017, Elon Musk openly discussed his relationship with his father and shared insights about his upbringing. He recounted that following his parents’ separation, he lived with his dad, but admitted that this arrangement was less than ideal for him.
However, Errol told Rolling Stone, “I love my children and would readily do whatever for them.”
After his separation from Maye, Errol wedded Heide. Their daughter, Jana Bezuidenhout, was just 4 years old when they tied the knot. Later, Errol and Heide had two more daughters. Unfortunately, their marriage also ended in a split-up.
In a 2018 interview with The Sunday Times, years after their separation due to Jana’s personal breakup, Errol shared that they were both solitary individuals. He described their reunion as a series of events – you might term it destiny or the workings of nature.
In the course of my life, this dynamic pair found themselves embarking on a romantic journey and were blessed with the arrival of their son Elliott in 2017, followed by a precious daughter in 2019. As I shared with The Sun, the primary purpose we have on Earth is to propagate. If given the opportunity, I would welcome another child into our family without a moment’s hesitation. I can’t fathom any reason not to.
Born in 1972, Kimbal is a restaurant entrepreneur who established The Kitchen, a group of five eateries that prioritize sourcing ingredients directly from local farmers. Additionally, he oversees Big-Green, a charitable organization responsible for constructing over two hundred learning gardens in schools nationwide.
Born in 1974, Tosca is a creative professional specializing in filmmaking. In the year 2017, she established Passionflix, a unique streaming platform catering to women’s interests within the lucrative one-billion-dollar romance novel market.
In 2000, Elon and his college sweetheart from Queen’s University in Ontario, named Justine, got married. In a 2010 article she wrote for Marie Claire, titled “I Was a Starter Wife: Inside America’s Messiest Divorce, Justine mentioned that during their wedding reception, Elon told her, “I am the dominant one in our marriage.
In the here and now, I chose to dismiss it lightly, much like how I’d later brush aside the act of signing the postnuptial agreement. However, as time unfolded, I came to realize that his intentions were indeed sincere.
In their heart-wrenching ordeal, the couple experienced an unspeakable sorrow when their newborn son, Nevada Alexander, passed away at 10 weeks due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). As Justine detailed in her article, “Nevada would take his usual naps, lying on his back as we had always done,” but this time, he unexpectedly stopped breathing.
The couple opted for in-vitro fertilization to conceive more children, eventually adding five new members to their family: twins named Vivian and Griffin, as well as triplets known as Kai, Saxon, and Damian.
In 2008, Elon filed for divorce.
2022 saw Elon disclose that he had accompanied Griffin and the triplets to visit the Pope Francis. Though he felt privileged to encounter the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, Elon jokingly commented about his attire, saying, “My outfit is unfortunate.
In the year 2022, Griffin’s sibling (who is a twin) submitted a petition to alter their legal name, reflecting their updated gender identity. The petition stated, “I no longer reside with or desire any familial ties whatsoever with my biological father.
As a lifestyle advisor, I’d like to share a poignant moment from July 2024. In an interview with Jordan Peterson on The Daily Wire, Elon opened up about his daughter’s journey. He expressed, “I’ve effectively lost my son,” referring to the profound transformation his child had undergone. He further explained that his child, whom he referred to by her birth name, seemed to him like a different person, someone who had been changed, perhaps even lost, to the virus of the progressive, woke mindset.
Additionally, he claimed that he was deceived into approving medical papers for Vivian’s gender-affirming procedures.
She contested his remarks, asserting that he was not misled in any way. In an interview with NBC News, she clarified that he was fully aware of all potential side effects.
In a 2025 interview with Teen Vogue, Vivian shared that she moved from Los Angeles to Japan and hasn’t communicated with her father since 2020. “He’s more like an immature adult,” she stated. “Why should I be afraid of him? Just because he’s wealthy? I don’t care how much money someone possesses.
Elon and Talulah, who graced our screens on HBO’s Westworld, got married in the year 2010. In an interview with CBS News back in 2014, she shared that their marriage happened quite swiftly. “Things moved incredibly fast between us,” she said. “We were engaged just about two weeks after we first met.
In 2012, they got divorced, but remarried the following year only to divorce again in 2016. Fast forward to June 2024, Talulah tied the knot with Thomas Brodie-Sangster, a star from Love Actually.
In the beginning of 2017, Elon and Amber made their romantic involvement known to the public. This was a year following Amber’s divorce filing from Johnny Depp, and Elon ending his second marriage to Talulah. However, their relationship proved to be short-lived.
In a 2017 interview with Rolling Stone, Elon expressed that he had ended his relationship with his girlfriend. He admitted to having been deeply in love, and the breakup was painful for him. However, he added that she was the one who initiated the split more than he did.
For approximately four years, starting from 2018, Elon and a singer had an on-and-off relationship. In September of 2021, Elon mentioned to Page Six that they were “probably semi-separated,” explaining that his work for SpaceX and Tesla keeps him mainly in Texas or traveling abroad, while her work is primarily in LA. At the moment, she’s staying with him, and their baby is in an adjacent room.
In March 2022, she shared with Vanity Fair that they reside in different homes but maintain a strong friendship.
Later on, she posted, “E and I have parted ways once more, as mentioned in this piece, ha-ha. However, he remains my dearest friend and the one I adore most deeply. My existence and creativity are now entirely committed to The Mission.
When the news emerged in September 2023 that they indeed had three children, the “Crystal Ball” singer acknowledged it to be true. He revealed that their latest child, named Techno Mechanicus, had been welcomed into their family along with their son X Æ A-12 and daughter Exa Dark Sideræl.
In November 2024, Grimes publicly shared that she had spent a year engaged in a tough legal battle in a state with poor mother’s rights. Her Instagram posts and modeling work were used against her in arguments to deny her custody of her children. Simultaneously, she was struggling to come to terms with the changing relationship with her partner as he seemed increasingly unfamiliar to her.
Despite utilizing only a small portion of her resources, she was deprived of seeing one of her children for a span of five months. She elaborated further, stating, “What I am able to disclose is merely the tip of the iceberg, as much of my recent experiences should remain confidential and hidden from public view.
In the year 2020, Elon and Grimes became parents for the first time, welcoming a son into their lives. To adhere to California’s legal naming rules, which use only letters from the English alphabet, they decided to change the spelling of his name. By using Roman numerals, they settled on the unique spelling X Æ A-Xii for their child.
Grimes clarified on social media that “X,” a variable yet unidentified, is similar to his elven spelling of ‘Ai’ or love/Artificial Intelligence. The term A-12 signifies an early model leading to SR-17, our preferred aircraft. It lacks weaponry and defensive systems, boasting only remarkable speed instead. Despite its prowess in combat, it is inherently non-violent.
Grimes continued, “A=Archangel, my favorite song” adding a rat and sword emoji. “Metal rat.”
In a 2022 interview with Vanity Fair, Grimes disclosed that she and Elon had secretly given birth to a daughter through a surrogate.
She explained that “Exa” stands for a supercomputing term called exaFLOPS, which signifies the capacity to perform one billion billion floating-point operations per second. On the other hand, “Dark” symbolizes the unknown, arousing fear in people, but in essence, it’s simply the absence of photons. The captivating enigma of our universe is the mysterious substance known as dark matter.
Sideræl, pronounced as “sigh-deer-ee-el”, is what mom calls “the authentic cosmic time, star time, or deep space time, distinct from our earthly clock,” and it’s a tribute to her beloved character Galadriel from Lord of the Rings, who “decides to renounce the ring.
In his biography titled “Elon Musk,” Walter Isaacson disclosed that Exa was born in December 2021 through a surrogacy arrangement.
The book further mentioned that by Father’s Day in 2022, the intermittent pair, often referred to as such, had their child, whom they named Techno Mechanicus but affectionately called Tau. This event took place through a surrogate mother, as depicted in the biography with a June 2022 photograph showing Elon nurturing the newborn boy.
Despite Grimes’ preference for keeping certain aspects personal, she has made efforts to shield her children from the online world. She has attempted to appeal to the public and her children’s father, and has even sought legal means, as expressed on social media in 2025. The constant exposure of her children’s lives is a significant worry for her, and it’s something she ponders daily. To her, it seems irrational that there aren’t more effective ways to handle this situation.
Last year, in 2022, Business Insider disclosed legal papers confirming that Elon became a father to twins with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis in November 2021. The twins were delivered in Austin, Texas, which happens to be where he resides.
Additionally, he appears to have expressed his thoughts regarding the report about X, saying, “Trying hard to address the issue of low birth rates, which I believe poses the greatest risk to our civilization compared to any other danger.
“Mark my words,” he added, “they are sadly true.”
In his 2023 biography titled “Elon Musk,” Walter Isaacson revealed that the twins’ complete names are Strider Sekhar Sirius and Azure Astra Alice.
As a lifestyle expert, let me share this update: On February 28, 2024, Elon and I, Shivon, welcomed our third child into the world. In June of the same year, I gracefully confirmed this joyous news to Page Six, stating that all our friends, family, and anyone who cares to listen are well aware. I further clarified that the absence of a press release does not equate to secrecy; rather, it simply means avoiding an unusual and unnecessary public announcement.
A year on, Shivon posted on Twitter, “Happy first birthday, sweet Arcadia. I love you more than words can express, my dear.
In simpler terms, On February 14th, 2025, there was something conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair wanted to share on Valentine’s Day.
About five months ago, I became a parent to a newborn. On Valentine’s Day, Xth Feb, the author of Elephants Are Not Birds revealed this fact. “I have kept this secret until now to shield our child’s privacy and security,” they stated. “However, it seems that the sensationalist media wants to expose this, regardless of the potential damage it may cause.
She emphasized her desire for their child to develop in a healthy and secure setting. Therefore, she kindly requests the media to respect their child’s privacy by avoiding intrusive coverage.
After several weeks following her representative’s request for Elon to openly admit his fatherly responsibilities towards Ashley, accusations were made that he had reduced his child support contributions for their baby. This led Elon to address the issue through social media.
He expressed, on March 31st, that he wasn’t certain if the child was his or not, but he was open to discovering the truth. Regarding this uncertainty, he has already gifted Ashley $2.5 million and plans to provide her with an annual income of half a million dollars.
On February 28, 2025, Elon and Shivon made an announcement – they had just welcomed their fourth child, a baby boy named Seldon Lycurgus. This joyous news came as they celebrated a significant milestone in their family life: marking the first anniversary of their third child’s journey around the sun.
In a post on X, she expressed that she had spoken with Elon and, considering the celebration of Arcadia’s special day, they decided it was fitting to announce their delightful news as well. She wrote about their amazing and remarkable son, Seldon Lycurgus, who embodies strength like a relentless juggernaut yet possesses a heart as golden as the finest treasure. Her affection for him is boundless.
Elon responded with a heart emoji.
