 The author announced on Friday, Feb. 14, that she is the mother of the Tesla founder's thirteenth child

Elon Musk welcomed his thirteenth child five months ago, according to author Ashley St. Clair.

St. Clair posted an announcement to X on Friday, Feb. 14, saying that she and Musk, 53, have a child together.

"Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father. I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child's privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause," read her announcement.

"I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment," said St. Clair. "For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child's privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting."

Her post was captioned by the Latin phrase, "Alea Iacta Est," meaning "The die is cast."

The author, who has been an outspoken supporter of conservative ideologies, is best known for her children's book with BRAVE Books, titled Elephants Are Not Birds.

"Follow Kevin as he learns that even though he can sing, he is not a bird, even if Culture insists that he is," according to the book's synopsis. Additionally, the BRAVE Books site said that they "partner with people of moral integrity, to teach complex Christian and Conservative values."

Musk is also the father to Nevada, Vivian, Griffin, Kai, Saxon, Damian, X Æ A-12, Exa, Strider, Azure, Techno and his second youngest child.

He first became a father in 2002 when his ex-wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson, welcomed their son Nevada Alexander, who tragically died at 10 weeks old. The former couple then welcomed five more children: twins Vivian and Griffin, 20, and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, 18.

In 2020, two years after Musk and singer Grimes were first linked, the two announced they welcomed their first child, X Æ A-12, 4, together. The former couple share two more children, a girl, Exa Dark Sideræl, 3, and a boy, Techno Mechanicus.

A few weeks prior to the arrival of Exa Dark Sideræl, the tech CEO also secretly fathered twins, Strider and Azure, 3, with Shivon Zilis, an executive at one of his companies, Neuralink, in November 2021, according to court documents published by Insider. Zilis and Musk then welcomed Musk's youngest child, whose name has not been revealed, in early 2024.

 Trump official’s attempt to bar ‘targeting’ of mayor also spurred departure of New York prosecutor Danielle Sassoon

Manhattan’s top federal prosecutor and five high-ranking justice department officials have resigned amid a scandal over orders from above to drop corruption charges against New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, in exchange for his cooperating with Donald Trump’s administration over immigration crackdowns.

The senior prosecutor, interim US attorney for the southern district of New York Danielle Sassoon, and the acting US deputy attorney general, Emil Bove, formerly a personal lawyer to Trump, then exchanged stinging letters over the order from Bove to drop the federal criminal case against Adams.

The events unfolding late on Thursday were a stunning escalation in a days-long standoff over the Trump administration prioritizing political aims over criminal culpability and also coincided with Adams talking to the so-called “border czar”, Tom Homan, about allowing federal immigration agents to set up an office at a city jail in violation of sanctuary city laws.

Sassoon, a Republican with conservative credentials, resigned on Thursday accusing the Department of Justice of acceding to a “quid pro quo” – dropping the case to ensure Adams’s help with Trump’s immigration agenda. She stood up for the federal criminal indictment that came down against Adams last year as his mayoralty spiraled into crisis with allegations that he accepted illegal campaign contributions and lavish travel perks worth more than $100,000 while serving in his previous job as Brooklyn borough president. He has pleaded not guilty. Trump has said he would consider a pardon for Adams.Sassoon said in her resignation letter that she was “confident” Adams committed the crimes he is charged with – and had committed even more offenses. Before the showdown, Sassoon said, prosecutors had been preparing to charge Adams with destroying evidence and instructing others to destroy evidence and provide false information to the FBI.
