Elon Musk has been making the headlines with the growth of his family recently, and his estranged daughter has reacted to the news.

But this number could potentially be 14 if influencer Ashley St. Clair's paternal claims are confirmed.
St. Clair, 26, made waves recently by alleging that Musk is the father of her child, born in secret in September 2024.
Now, she is seeking to establish paternity and obtain sole custody through legal proceedings in Manhattan.
Court filings include what she claims are private Signal messages from Musk, where he allegedly told her: "I want to knock you up again."
In another message, Musk - identified as "EM" - allegedly responds to her request for an in-person meeting with: "Hmm ok. Well, I do have a legion of kids to make."

As evidence, St. Clair has submitted a photo of Musk holding the child, as well as details of his visits, stating he first met their son on September 21, 2024, in New York City for two hours.
She alleges he saw the child again the next day for an hour and then once more in Austin, Texas, on November 30, but only for 30 minutes.
Musk has not publicly confirmed the child as his own, offering only a brief reaction on X: "Whoa."
St. Clair, frustrated by Musk’s online behavior, fired back, demanding direct communication.
"Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded. When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?" she wrote.

Her representative insisted to PEOPLE that the case is not financially motivated. "This has never been about money for Ashley," they stated. "This is about protecting the best interests of Ashley and Elon’s child from a man who can’t be counted on to even communicate, much less act consistently in the role of a father."
Meanwhile, Musk’s estranged daughter, Vivian Wilson, has taken to social media to react to the news of yet another sibling.
Wilson, who legally changed her name after coming out as transgender in 2022, stitched together a TikTok video referencing her repeated discoveries of new half-siblings.
"Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I found out I had half-siblings through Reddit, I’d have two nickels … which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice, right," she previously joked.
Now, following the revelation of Musk’s latest confirmed child, Wilson posted another TikTok with a close-up of her eye, writing: "This is already outdated nevermind." In the caption, she added: "Technically it was through Threads this time though."
Wilson further commented: "For clarity’s sake, I have found out through specifically Reddit twice- but through the internet in general 7 times."
Musk's known children include:
- Twins Vivian and Griffin, and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian with his first wife, Justine Wilson (divorced in 2008).
- Musk and Wilson also welcomed their son Nevada Alexander in 2002. However, at 10 weeks old, he sadly passed away due to SIDs.
- Three children with musician Grimes: X Æ A-Xii (X), Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus.
- Twins Strider and Azure, son Arcadia, and the newly announced Seldon Lycurgus.
