Ashley St. Clair gave Elon Musk a gift that he carried with him everywhere as she carried his child and he campaigned for Donald Trump – the billionaire’s iconic ‘Dark MAGA’ hat.
The conservative influencer told all about the deal she made to give birth to one of Musk’s children, according to a bombshell report on the Wall Street Journal which the SpaceX CEO has slammed.
That included how Musk pursued her and other women for impregnation, asked her and their son to join his ‘kid legion’ on a compound in Texas and eventually offered her tens of millions to keep quiet.
St. Clair frequently tries to include anecdotes of how she was taken with Musk at the start of their admittedly strange courtship which involved meeting his mother and having her son from a previous relationship go on playdates with Musk’s kids.
One way St. Clair reciprocated the affections of Donald Trump’s ‘First Buddy’ was allegedly designing him the gothic remix of the infamous ‘Make America Great Again’ hat that Musk wore all over the campaign trail.
The Tesla and SpaceX boss debuted the new hat in October 2024 at the Butler Farm Show grounds in Pennsylvania, where Trump survived an assassination attempt three months ago.
Musk donned a black MAGA hat, in contrast to the usual red, and quipped ‘I’m not just MAGA, I’m Dark gothic MAGA’ as he spoke to the crowd.
He carried on wearing versions of it to Trump’s infamous New York rally and even his infamous chainsaw-wielding CPAC speech with Argentina President Javier Millei, as a pregnant St. Clair looked on from a distance.

Fans of the former president loved his cameo but those on the other side mocked his awkward excitement and expressed fears for democracy, as he owns Twitter.
St. Clair revealed to the Wall Street Journal that she’d had the gothic-style cap made specially for Musk.
Dark MAGA first emerged in 2022 as a meme among Trump supporters, calling for his return to the presidency at all costs – even dictatorship.
They argued Trump was justified in being authoritarian once he retook power was justified, and often shared dystopian images juxtaposed with Trump slogans.
Others saw less sinister meanings in his Dark MAGA quip, such as his hat being black, or him alluding to the Joe Biden ‘Dark Brandon’ meme.
Musk’s appearance at Trump’s rally in Butler was the first time he took the stage at a political rally, the beginning of a long road that led Musk to create and run the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
However, his outsized role in Washington has meant that his professional and personal life have come under more scrutiny, especially since St. Clair claimed she’d birthed his child.
The conservative influencer, 26, revealed that she’d given birth to Musk’s child in early February, the 14th of his offspring that is publicly known. She revealed Tuesday that the baby, a boy, is named Romulus.

Musk has never publicly admitted the child is his and the pair are currently locked in a legal battle that involved the ‘First Buddy’ and Tesla CEO taking the test to prove he’s the father.
DailyMail.com spoke to St. Clair in March about the financial difficulties she was facing during her tussle in court with Musk, even going as far as selling her Tesla.
Now, St. Clair is revealing Musk – who claimed he’s provided her at least $2.5 million to date in March – offered her $15 million and $100,000 a month to not publicly disclose that he is the father of the child until he turns 21.
Jared Birchall, Musk’s fixer, told St. Clair that this is similar to what Musk has agreed with the other mothers of his children, who include pop star Grimes and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
Musk, within hours, was bashing the Journal – touting it as worse than TMZ.
‘TMZ >> WSJ,’ the billionaire wrote.
It wasn’t his first time panning the paper, which he branded as ‘trash’ back in January. The barb came in direct response to a separate report surrounding his alleged pervasive drug use and concerns it was causing his companies’ directors.
The Wednesday report alleged the billionaire is building a massive brood ahead of a prospective population collapse – a clandestine campaign now creating ‘harem drama’.
Musk last commented on the child and his arrangement with St. Clair in an X post on March 31
‘I don’t want my son to feel like he’s a secret,’ St. Clair told Birchall at the time
Birchall, Musk’s longtime fixer, told the 26-year-old how his boss was a ‘very big-hearted, kind and generous person,’ but that her going ‘the legal route’, from his experience, ‘always, always leads to a worse outcome for that woman’.
She went on to give birth the following February, before which Musk – whom helped name the child after some reservations as to whether it was actually his – reportedly offered her the $15 million and $100,000-a-month.
She nearly accepted, after being told the stipend was similar to what Musk has agreed with the known mothers of his children, such as the popular musician Grimes and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
The article includes tidbits like Musk demanding she deliver the baby via a caesarian section – based on the belief that doing so allows for a baby to have a larger brain.
He also required he not undergo a circumcision. St. Clair is Jewish and wanted a natural birth so she rejected both, the Journal reported.
St. Clair did comply, however, with the request of leaving Musk’s name off of Romulus’ birth certificate – which Birchall made while she was inducing labor.
She did, however, prepare by hiring an attorney – a move that reportedly went against Birchall’s wishes.
