Errol Musk, the father of tech mogul Elon Musk, has responded to claims his son has fathered a 13th child with MAGA (Make America Great Again) influencer Ashley St Clair.
The author claimed in a post on Elon Musk’s platform X that she had given birth to the 53-year-old’s child five months ago.
Elon is yet to officially confirm or deny her claim, but issued a one-word response of “woah” on X.
Errol spoke to GB News about the rumour, saying his son is free to have children with anyone as he is not currently in a relationship.

“Elon’s not married. Marriage is what really defines whether you are doing something outside of a relationship. If he is not married, he can do whatever he likes”, he said.
“There’s nothing stopping him [from having a child]. Only so-called morals that don’t exist in a quarter of the world.”

“He hasn’t spoken to me recently. He doesn’t need to”, he told GB News.
Asked if he thinks the claim is true that Elon has fathered a 13th child, he said: “Yes, absolutely”.
Despite admitting he thinks the claim is factual, Errol still did not give a definitive response.

He added: “I mean, why not? As you know, you have the embryonic process where you can freeze embryos. You don’t have to take chances, you can choose whether you want a boy or a girl. I think it’s absolutely extraordinary.”
Musk fathered his first child with ex-wife Justine Wilson in 2002, Nevada Alexander, who died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) at just 10 weeks old.
He also has twins, and a set of triplets born through IVF, now aged 19, with his ex-wife.
The SpaceX boss also had three children with musician Grimes, and a second set of twins with Neuralink executive Shivon Zitis.
Last June, he confirmed that he and Zilis had a third child together, but the baby’s date of birth and name have not been disclosed.
Ashley St Clair, a 26-year-old author and social media influencer, is now claiming Musk has had another.
She said in her post on X: “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. 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."
