Ashley St. Clair has publicly disclosed that Elon Musk is the father of her son, born in September 2024. A paternity test conducted by Labcorp confirmed a 99.9999% probability of Musk’s paternity. The child’s name, previously referred to by the initials R.S.C., has been revealed as Romulus.

In February 2025, St. Clair announced the birth on X, citing concerns over media intrusion as the reason for her prior discretion. She emphasized her desire to protect her child’s privacy and safety.

Musk initially questioned the paternity but stated he had provided $2.5 million in child support and continues to send $500,000 per year. St. Clair recently claimed Musk had reduced her child support by 60%, and she claimed that she was forced to sell a Tesla Model S to make up the financial gap. Musk denies retaliating financially and emphasized his willingness to verify paternity without a court order.

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Musk reportedly offered St. Clair a $15 million one-time payment and $100,000 monthly child support in exchange for keeping their son’s existence private. This arrangement is consistent with similar agreements Musk has allegedly made with other mothers of his children.

Musk, 53, is known to have 14 children with four different women. He previously expressed a desire to have a “legion-level” of children before an anticipated global apocalypse, referencing a Roman military unit.

As the situation continues to unfold, both parties have emphasized their commitment to the well-being of their child, with St. Clair requesting privacy and Musk expressing his willingness to support his son.​
