Elon Musk reportedly offered Ashley St. Clair million for silence regarding their baby.

Elon Musk, the high-profile entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has reportedly made substantial financial offers to influencer Ashley St. Clair in connection with their newborn child, as revealed by a recent report from Media News Source. The alleged offer included a lump sum of million alongside monthly payments of 0,000, aimed at keeping their child’s existence private.

According to the report, a DNA test confirmed a staggering probability of paternity at 99.9999%. The couple’s son, named Romulus, reportedly does not bear Musk’s surname on the birth certificate. Although Musk has not issued a formal statement regarding this matter, he publicly expressed his discontent with the coverage from the Wall Street Journal, inferring that he preferred the style of sensational headlines typically found in tabloids.

In communications that have surfaced, Musk purportedly conveyed to St. Clair that he considers himself “the number two target for assassination” following former President Donald Trump, a concern he cited as justification for maintaining secrecy about the child’s public acknowledgment. Musk’s messages included the remark that “only the paranoid survive,” reflecting his cautious stance regarding personal safety.

St. Clair, 26, reportedly declined Musk’s offer, citing her desire for transparency regarding her child’s legitimacy and expressing concerns that the proposed arrangement did not include a trust fund for the infant in the event of Musk’s untimely death or illness. Her decision came after she had previously announced on Musk’s social media platform, X, that she had given birth to Musk’s child five months prior, emphasizing her intention to protect the child’s privacy amidst media scrutiny.

Following St. Clair’s announcement, Musk revised his financial proposal, first reducing the monthly payments from 0,000 to ,000 and ultimately to ,000 as reported by Media News Source. While Musk has acknowledged making monetary contributions to St. Clair, he has also expressed uncertainty about whether the child is indeed his biological offspring. He stated that he has given her .5 million so far and pledged to provide an annual support of 0,000.

This revelation adds to the narrative surrounding Musk’s family life, which includes the recent birth of a fourth child with technology executive Shivon Zilis, bringing his known total to 14 children. As this situation develops, it raises questions about the intersection of celebrity status, privacy, and the responsibilities tied to parenthood in the public eye.
