The feature documentary " Musk " directed by Alex Gibney ( Alex Gibney ) was released in theaters today. Among the nearly four-hour length of the film, one of the most notable parts is the revelation from Ashley St. St is the mother of a child from Elon Musk.
In this documentary, St and Clair tell about the private life of this world's richest man, including his desire to have many children – as far as we know, he already has 14 children.
So, who are Ashley St and Clair? And how did they become involved with Musk? Here is the information we know so far.
She was once a conservative internet celebrity and also an author.
She has also written a book titled “Elephants Are Not Birds”. The publisher, Brave Books, describes it as a work that is “a Christian, conservative children’s book exploring the theme of identity.”
In January 2026, St and Clair began to reconsider their political stances and stated on X that they would remove their names from the author credits of Elephants Are Not Birds.
In 2024, she gave birth to a child for Musk.
St. Clair said that she initially interacted with Musk through X in 2023 – Musk acquired X a year prior to that – at which time Musk noticed her and then sent her a private message.
In an interview with The New York Times, St and Clair described their relationship with Musk as being more "emotionally intimate" rather than romantic. She said, "We stay in touch every day. But I've never had that feeling of being 'the chosen one' either."
She also said that she once vacationed on St. Barts with Musk, and at that time, Musk encouraged her to have a few more children. St. Clair already has a child from a previous relationship. She recalled, “He said, ‘You should have 10 children! Let’s have one child. My only limited resource is time.’”

St. Clair first spoke publicly about the birth of their child in a report by The New York Post in February 2025, revealing that they gave birth in 2024.
A month later, Musk spoke out about this child for the first time. He posted on X, stating that although he was not sure whether this child was his own, "I have already given Ashley 2.5 million dollars, and I will give her another 500,000 dollars every year."
St. Clair said she rejected a NDA worth 40 million US dollars.
St. Clair states in Musk that after she gave birth to a child for Musk, their relationship began to deteriorate. She claims that someone then offered her a confidentiality agreement: if she signed it, she would receive $15 million upfront and an additional $100,000 per month for 21 years. She refused this agreement.
The day after the film's global premiere, Musk raised objections on X regarding the NDA terms mentioned by St and Clair, commenting that St and Clair "never offered such conditions, and she has a history of making false claims." Musk did not respond to requests for comment.
She also said that Musk once sent her a text message saying that he needed to have an army composed of children before the "civil war."
As for the documentary itself, Musk was also not satisfied and posted a comment on X.
“Gibney just put together a list of targets. The people on that list either hold grudges or don’t even know me at all (but still harbor resentment). He has absolutely no integrity at all. A terrible person,” wrote Musk.
“Musk” will be released in some cinemas on Friday.
