Илон Маск има намера да стане татко на стотици деца

Ashley St. Clair — who says Elon Musk is the father of her infant son, and has seen the baby only three times since his September 2024 birth — is alleging that the Tesla CEO told her they had a “legion of kids to make,” according to a new legal filing. The 26-year-old author filed for sole legal custody of the son she says she shares with Musk on Friday, Feb. 21, and she has also filed a paternity petition — in which she included and referenced what she claimed were messages exchanged between herself and Musk, 53. In the correspondence, Musk reportedly “acknowledged a sexual relationship” between the pair multiple times following the birth of the infant, who she refers to in the documents as R.S.C. As St. Clair alleged in the filing, she and Musk began a “romantic relationship in or about May 2023” and later conceived the child in January 2024.

During one exchange, which she claimed took place “on or about” Feb. 2, 2025, St. Clair apparently told Musk that she “would appreciate being able to speak to you in person” and mentioned “a major rift in our relationship that I truly wish was better for the sake of our son.” After Musk allegedly responded to the message with “Hmm ok,” St. Clair sent him a moving image of Jim Carrey reciting his titular character’s “alrighty then” catchphrase in 1992’s Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

“Well, we do have a legion of kids to make,” Musk allegedly then sent in response. Elsewhere in the filing, St. Clair included images of Musk allegedly responding to a selfie three months earlier — “on or about” Nov. 24, 2024 — with “Hi cutie.” After she told him she’d “see u soon,” Musk allegedly wrote, “I want to knock you up again.”

According to the separate custody petition, the “last time” Musk visited R.S.C. was on Nov. 30, around four days after the “knock you up again” message. The visit lasted 30 minutes, the conservative influencer alleged, and it took place over two months after Musk’s other two visits with the child on Sept. 21 and 22, per the filing. St. Clair also alleged in the legal documents that Musk was not present for the birth of the boy — who she says she welcomed in September 2024 — and the CEO “has had no involvement in his care and upbringing.”

“Ashley St. Clair has filed paternity and custody petitions to protect the best interests of her child,” St. Clair’s representative Brian Glickich told PEOPLE in a statement on Feb. 21. “She has made every effort to collaborate with Mr. Musk before taking this step. She has no further comment on the contents of the petitions, which speak for themselves.” St. Clair has since asked the court to “issue a summons, warrant or order requiring the Respondent to show cause why the Court should not enter a declaration of paternity, an order of support and such other and further relief as may be appropriate under the circumstances.” Representatives and attorneys for Musk have not responded to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.

St. Clair’s lawyer, Karen B. Rosenthal, wrote in an attorney affirmation, “This firm has been dealing with Respondent’s lawyer and representative, Alyssa Rower from Rower, LLC, in an attempt to resolve this matter privately. The law firm has offices in Manhattan and Westchester, New York. However, his representatives have been nonresponsive in the past to resolve the outstanding issues and Respondent has indicated that he no longer wishes to resolve issues of custody and support amicably.” Musk is the father of 13 children (counting St. Clair’s infant child) with four different women. St. Clair first announced the birth of R.S.C. via X on Feb. 14, stating that he was born months earlier as she called Musk his “father.”
