Musk’s Baby Bombshell Takes a Sharp Turn
Elon Musk Engages With Shivon Zillis on X Amid Ashley St. Clair Controversy
Elon Musk has once again drawn attention to his personal life after engaging in a public exchange with Shivon Zilis, the mother of three of his children, amid a controversy involving conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair.
Zilis, a 39-year-old Canadian venture capitalist and executive at Neuralink, posted a photo on X featuring her twins, Strider and Azure. She captioned the picture, “Lil loves of my life,” adding heart emojis.

Musk, 53, responded with a heart-faced emoji, prompting Zilis to reply with another heart emoji, showcasing a warm and public moment between the two.
This interaction occurred just hours after St. Clair, 26, accused Musk of fathering her child and failing to fulfill an alleged agreement to recognize and provide for the child.
Speaking exclusively to The Post, St. Clair claimed that Musk initiated their relationship by reaching out to her via direct messages on X. She further alleged that she was isolated during her pregnancy, living in a luxurious New York City apartment but unable to share her situation with anyone.
Despite her claims of isolation, St. Clair maintained that she had no regrets about having Musk’s child. “My child is the most perfect thing that happened to me. I wouldn’t change anything,” she stated.
Zilis’ social media post came shortly after St. Clair’s claims surfaced, prompting some users on X to call Musk’s response “cold-blooded.”
According to court records from Travis County, Texas, Zilis’ twins were born in November 2021 through in vitro fertilization (IVF). Insider first reported in 2022 that Musk had volunteered to be the sperm donor for the Neuralink executive.
Additionally, Zilis and Musk share a third child, born in 2024, though the child’s name and gender remain undisclosed. Musk confirmed the birth in June 2024 during an interview with Page Six, per the New York Post.
Zilis was recently seen accompanying Musk and their children, including his son X from his previous relationship with singer Grimes, at a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Washington, D.C. The discussion reportedly focused on technological advancements and space exploration.
On Saturday, Musk addressed the growing controversy surrounding St. Clair’s claims. Responding to a post on X, which alleged that St. Clair had “plotted” for five years to have his child, Musk simply wrote, “Whoa.”
The post suggested that St. Clair had deliberately planned to have Musk’s child, a claim that ignited further discussion on the platform.
St. Clair later responded in a since-deleted post, accusing Musk of spreading “smears” and avoiding a direct public response to her. She also claimed that a post from 2020, cited as evidence of her alleged “plot,” had been made in jest.
In another deleted message, St. Clair went even further, alleging that Musk had asked her to have more children just a week prior to her public accusations.
As speculation continues to swirl, Musk remains focused on his business ventures while his personal life once again takes center stage in the public eye.
