Elon Musk and Ashley St. Clair, the MAGA influencer who claims to have given birth to his child five months ago, had been exchanging flirty messages on X for nearly two years.
The pair’s messages feature risqué sex jokes, banter on X’s “d--- pic bot,” and serious takes on natalism and the merits of homeschooling, as highlighted in a new report from the Daily Mail.
The publicly visible posts take on a new light since St. Clair—a 26-year-old pro-Trump columnist and social media influencer—broke the baby news on Friday to her X following of more than a million.
Musk, who has previously had 12 kids with three women, has yet to publicly address whether the baby is his, despite St. Clair urging him to do so on X—and claiming that Musk is ignoring her.

Their most recent public communication is a far cry from the playful messages they had often exchanged before—the most telling of which is likely a joking exchange about unprotected sex.

In response to St. Clair’s post in June 2023 about Wagner mercenaries withdrawing from Russia, Musk quipped, “The ‘pull out’ method,” adding: “Speaking personally, I obviously prefer the pull in method…”
St. Clair replied with a meme telling Musk to “go to horny jail.”

In another sexually charged exchange from July 2023, Musk and St. Clair shared a laugh over the fact that X uses a “d--k pic bot” to identify inappropriate content on the site.
“Sometimes it thinks rocket pics are d---s, which is... crazy of course,” Musk wrote to St. Clair.
When St. Clair asked on X for audiobook recommendations, Musk responded with 11 suggestions just 20 minutes later. The following month, Musk made sure to wish St. Clair a happy birthday on X.
The two have also, at different points, publicly bonded over their belief in the importance of having children and their support for homeschooling.
In November 2023, Musk told St. Clair, “this is the absolute *best* time in history to have kids!”
Seriously, this is the absolute *best* time in history to have kids!

St. Clair jokingly asked him in March 2024 if she could have “$13 million and a space podcast (in space).”
The online banter appears to date back to May 2023, according to the Mail.
The Mail’s report also highlights intersections between Musk and St. Clair’s lives outside of the digital realm.
On November 12, 2024, the day after Musk was announced as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, St. Clair posted three pictures to social media of herself alongside Musk’s then-co-head at DOGE, Vivek Ramaswamy.
Congrats to the brilliant @VivekGRamaswamy on his appointment to lead the Department of Government Efficiency with Elon.

Vivek is the best mind to help dismantle the Bureaucratic State which has had a chokehold on America for far too long.

Both Musk and St. Clair were also in attendance at Trump’s election night party at Mar-a-Lago.
In other interesting overlaps, the two both posted from Miami during the same weekend in Dec. 2023 and from Palm Beach in Feb. 2024.
Given that St. Clair said her baby was born in Sept. 2024, it was likely conceived around the end of 2023.
Both Musk and St. Clair faced backlash (and support) in the wake of her baby announcement.
However, the drama hasn’t seemed to slow down Musk and his DOGE team’s efforts to reshape the federal government. Musk’s X account has remained a nonstop outpouring of posts entirely unrelated to St. Clair.
