Elon Musk's former partner Ashley St. Clair has alleged that the tech billionaire tried to secure her silence with a non-disclosure agreement worth up to $40 million after she gave birth to his 13th child, describing the offer as arriving via 'disappearing' Signal messages and ultimately refusing to sign it.
St. Clair, a 27-year-old former conservative influencer, publicly revealed in February 2025 that Musk is the father of her son Romulus, then five months old. That disclosure pushed the already chaotic public record of Musk's private life into even stranger territory, arriving just as he confirmed he had also recently welcomed another son, his 14th child, with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
