EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk Reportedly Offered $15 Million Hush Deal to Influencer Ashley St. Clair Over Secret Love Child — Son’s Name Revealed as ‘Romulus’

Billionaire’s Alleged Payoff Unraveled: $15M Upfront, $100K Monthly Support, and a Baby Named After a Roman Emperor

Elon Musk is no stranger to headline-grabbing revelations, but this latest development plunges the world’s most watched billionaire deeper into personal drama.

According to an explosive Wall Street Journal report, Musk, 53, allegedly offered conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, 26, a staggering $15 million in hush money — plus $100,000 per month in ongoing support — to keep quiet about their secret child, born in September 2024.

Sources close to St. Clair confirmed with multiple outlets that the deal was real — and eerily similar to “confidential agreements” Musk has purportedly made with other mothers of his children.

The child, previously identified only by the initials R.S.C. , is now confirmed to be named Romulus — a nod to the mythical founder of Rome.

The reveal was accompanied by results from a Labcorp paternity test, stating a 99.9999% probability that Musk is, indeed, the biological father.

Public Disclosure Followed Tabloid Pressure

In a February 2025 post on X (formerly Twitter), St.

Clair made the relationship public, writing:

“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world.

Elon Musk is the father… I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.”

The message, while measured, sent shockwaves through social media and reignited scrutiny over Musk’s growing number of children — 13 and counting — with multiple women.

Tension Over Tesla and Child Support

Drama escalated in late March when St.

Clair appeared on camera speaking to the Daily Mail, visibly handing over the keys to her Tesla Model S.

She claimed she was selling the car to offset a “60 percent cut” Musk allegedly made to their son’s child support.

Musk fired back on X, denying financial retaliation, stating:

“I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out.

No court order is needed.

Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year.”

The post left many scratching their heads — especially given that a paternity test has reportedly confirmed his parenthood beyond any reasonable doubt.

A Pattern of Payouts?

While Musk’s reps have declined to comment, insiders note that this isn’t the first time the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has used high-dollar financial arrangements to manage his growing personal network.

Similar confidentiality deals have been rumored — if not outright confirmed — with other women linked to Musk’s private life.

For her part, St. Clair has framed the situation as a fight for her child’s future and stability.

“This campaign for privacy isn’t about me,” she stated.

“It’s about protecting my son from the media frenzy that follows Elon wherever he goes.”

The Bigger Picture

The saga has opened yet another window into the hyper-surreal world of Elon Musk — a universe where billion-dollar rockets and custody agreements coexist in the same news cycle.

With his empire expanding in space, AI, and automotive tech, it’s his personal life that may now prove the most unpredictable frontier.

In a world obsessed with power, privacy, and paternity — one thing’s clear: Romulus has entered the Elonverse.
