‘Seduce Elon’: Leaked messages fly in Elon Musk influencer baby drama

Wild new claims and leaked messages have emerged in the ongoing drama surrounding Elon Musk’s alleged baby number 13.

Wild new claims and leaked messages have emerged in the ongoing drama surrounding Elon Musk’s alleged baby number 13.

Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, 26, dropped a bombshell last week when she claimed the billionaire was the father of her child, with the birth taking place in secret in September last year.

St. Clair has now launched legal action seeking to have the Tesla chief executive recognised as the baby’s father and also to gain sole custody, according to a pair of petitions she filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on Friday local time.

The young woman, who is reportedly raising the baby in a $US15,000-a-month ($24,000-a-month) New York City apartment along with another child of hers with a different father, claimed she and Mr Musk conceived the child during a January 2024 trip to St. Barts.

Now a fellow MAGA influencer, Isabella Moody, has accused St Clair of planning to “baby-trap” Mr Musk and revealed damning text messages purportedly between her and the new mum.

The claims of her setting out to seduce the X owner, though unverified, have garnered a response from Mr Musk, who as yet has not publicly acknowledged his alleged 13th child.

Whoa!

“I wasn’t going to post these, but now that Ashley St. Clair has leaked her private Signal messages with Elon Musk after lying and saying she ‘wanted privacy’, here’s more evidence Ashely planned to baby trap Elon,” Moody wrote.

“She sent me these text messages in May 2023 when she first met Elon and started sleeping with him.”

One messages showed St. Clair allegedly said “I need his rocket babies”.

She also said “I’ll take one for the team, seduce Elon, get in a rocket to see what’s up”, the alleged texts read.

Later, she allegedly sent another message to Moody that read, “I need a caption to seduce Elon Musk.”

This elicited a response from Mr Musk, with him writing “whoa!” on X.

Mr Musk had the same one-word response on X last week in response to a post that claimed, “Ashley St. Clair plotted for HALF A DECADE to ensnare Elon Musk.”

The first “whoa” elicited a furious response from St. Clair, who blasted the richest man alive for responding publicly to “smears”.

“Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded. When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?” she wrote minutes later.

In her lawsuit, St. Clair shared alleged messages between herself and Mr Musk on encrypted messaging app Signal.

In one jarring text exchange in the paternity petition, St. Clair shares a photo of herself and her newborn son in a hospital bed.

“All well?” replies the recipient who’s saved in her phone as “EM”.

“He is perfect,” St. Clair responds.

“I look forward to seeing you and him this weekend,” EM responds, adding, “Falling asleep. How [sic] the recovery goes well.”

In another exchange, EM laments that he gets “credible death threats everyday”.

To which St. Clair responds, “That’s why the father spot on his birth certificate is blank right now, E.”

She also reasoned that’s why the child bears her last name.

In a separate, flirter text, EM writes, “I want to knock you up again,” after St. Clair sent a picture of herself.

A final text exhibit shows St. Clair sending a large block of text to EM, asking to meet in person due to communication struggles.

“Hmm ok,” EM responds, adding, “Well, I do have a legion of kids to make.”

Mr Musk has previously said he wants to increase the global population one child at a time.

He has welcomed 12 children since 2002, however his firstborn died of sudden infant death syndrome at just 10 weeks old.

He went on to father five more children with his first wife, Justine Wilson — transgender daughter Vivian, from whom he is estranged, and her twin, Griffin, both now 20, and triplets Saxon, Damian, and Kai.

The entrepreneur then welcomed three children with singer Grimes between 2020 and 2022 — X Æ A-Xii, four, who is known as “X”, Exa Dark Sideræl, two, who is known as “Y”, and Techno Mechanicus, who was born in 2022 and goes by “Tau”.

He shares his other three kids with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his Neuralink company.

Ms Zilis seems to be the favourite of Maye Musk, Mr Musk’s mum, who posted an endorsement of the burgeoning little family on X in the wake of the St. Clair announcement last week.
