Elon Musk’s personal life is once again in the headlines, this time involving Ashley St. Clair, a conservative influencer alleged to be the mother of his child.
But the story isn’t just about a secret baby—it’s about deception, manipulation, and the tangled web of relationships behind the scenes.
Whispering Secrets While Playing Both Sides
A former coworker, Isabella Moody, has come forward with claims that St. Clair shared the “secret” of her new baby with multiple friends and colleagues while insisting to each person that they were the only one who knew.
According to Moody, this tactic made people feel special, ultimately ensuring the secret spread like wildfire.
Moody, a 26-year-old conservative YouTuber, worked with St. Clair at Arsenal Media Group in 2021.
She described St. Clair as “calculating” and “manipulative,” likening her to Regina George from Mean Girls.
St. Clair allegedly vented about her ex, berated coworkers until they cried, and used strategic behavior to climb the social and professional ladder.
Chasing the Richest Man in the World
Moody didn’t believe for a second that St. Clair was romantically interested in Musk because of his charm.
“She wasn’t going after Elon because he’s a handsome guy. She was going after him because he’s the richest man in the world,” she stated.
According to Moody, St. Clair reassured Musk in private messages that she was keeping their alleged child a secret, while simultaneously telling multiple people about the situation.
Legal documents filed by St. Clair in New York’s Supreme Court included Signal app conversations where Musk expressed concerns for his safety and the child’s anonymity.
A History of Power Plays and Office Drama
Moody recalled red flags from her first conversation with St. Clair, which lasted three hours and was mostly about how terrible her ex was.
“A few months later, she moved back in with him and told me to forget everything she said,” Moody revealed, adding that St. Clair had a pattern of deception.
At Arsenal Media Group, St. Clair was notorious for berating employees in Telegram group chats, often reducing people to tears.
Despite this, she remained employed because of her close friendship with the boss—until she turned on him, quit, and demanded severance pay.
A Pattern of Control and Manipulation
Moody described St. Clair as a master of manipulation who coached her on how to impress powerful men, advising her to learn about whiskey, sit in high chairs to assert dominance, and use confident body language.
“She was big on being a chameleon and working her way to the top,” Moody said, adding that St. Clair’s calculated nature made her uneasy.
“She made you feel trusted, like you were the only one she confided in, but she did it to control people.”
From Texts to a Full-Blown Scandal
Screenshots allegedly show that as early as May 2023, St. Clair was plotting to have Musk’s baby.
She joked about needing “rocket babies” and crafting the perfect caption to seduce him. Moody, who originally brushed it off as humor, was later shocked to realize St. Clair had followed through.
Feeling justified in exposing St. Clair’s private messages after St. Clair leaked texts from Musk, Moody posted the screenshots online, calling out “promiscuous gold diggers.”
Musk responded with a one-word reaction: “Whoa!”
Another Legal Battle Uncovered
Adding to the drama, St. Clair has been entangled in another sealed lawsuit concerning her first child with ex-partner Dr. Johnny Alexander.
While the details remain confidential, the case has seen over 130 filings since May 2023, hinting at another contentious custody battle.
St. Clair’s name surfaced in these legal disputes through her filings against Musk, confirming her involvement in the sealed case.
What’s Next?
The fallout from this saga is far from over.
With legal battles unfolding, public scrutiny intensifying, and former allies turning against her, St. Clair faces a storm of consequences.
Meanwhile, Musk remains silent beyond his brief reaction.
As more details emerge, one thing is clear—this scandal is only getting started.
