Topline
Elon Musk appeared to publicly acknowledge his child with right-wing influencer Ashley St. Clair on Monday, seemingly confirming his parentage almost a year after saying he was uncertain whether he was the father of the baby, who Musk is now seeking custody of over concerns St. Clair “might transition a one-year-old boy.”
Key Facts
St. Clair strayed away from her reputation as a right-wing influencer in an X post last weekend and was asked about her history of transphobia, responding, “I feel immense guilt for my role.”
St. Clair said she felt “even more guilt” for things she has previously said that “may have caused my son’s sister more pain,” referring to Vivian Wilson, Musk’s eldest daughter who came out as transgender in 2020.
St. Clair apologized in the post, saying she has been “trying incredibly hard privately to learn + advocate for those within the trans community that I’ve hurt.”
Musk, responding to an X user who blasted St. Clair’s apology, said he will file for full custody of the child today given St. Clair’s “statements implying she might transition a one-year-old boy.”
St. Clair’s post did not indicate or suggest she would transition the child.
What Has St. Clair Said About The Transgender Community?
St. Clair is known for writing a children’s book titled, “Elephants Are Not Birds,” in which an elephant “learns that even though he can sing, he is not a bird, even if Culture insists that he is,” according to a synopsis. St. Clair said the book is an “unapologetic rebuke” of “transgender acceptance.”
