Ashley St Clair, a 26-year-old Maga writer, said that she and Mr Musk share a five-month-old child.

"Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father," she wrote. "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." Ms St Clair did not detail which media organisation was seeking information about her and her child. News organisations typically will request comment from subjects prior to a story's publication, which may explain how Ms St Clair learnt that a story about her alleged child with the world's wealthiest man was in the works.

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