Elon Musk, known as the richest man in the world, has been recently making headlines due to claims about his children. He reportedly has at least 13 offspring with four different women, including a recent claim by conservative influencer Ashley St Clair, who states she gave birth to his 13th child in late 2024. Musk has not confirmed her allegations, which come in the wake of past revelations where he welcomed children secretly, such as twins with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis just weeks before his child with singer Grimes.
Musk’s children include five with his first wife Justine Wilson, three with Grimes, and three with Zilis. Notably, his first child, Nevada, tragically died in infancy. St Clair’s assertion has garnered significant media attention, prompting her to seek privacy for the child. Musk responded to the claim with surprise but has not officially addressed it further. His wealth, estimated at $US394 billion, raises curiosity about inheritance, but Musk has indicated that he does not intend to automatically pass on his fortune.
Musk’s relationships with his children vary; for instance, his daughter Vivian has publicly distanced herself from him. Despite the complexities, Musk frequently includes his son X in public appearances, possibly as a strategy to soften his public image.
