Billionaire Elon Musk is once again making headlines—this time for naming his 14th child Romulus, born to conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair. But the story doesn’t stop there. Reports claim Musk offered St. Clair a staggering $15 million as a one-time payment to remain silent about the child, along with $100,000 per month in support until the boy turns 21.

DNA Test Confirms Paternity—With 99.999% Certainty

Although Musk has never publicly acknowledged fathering Romulus, a court-ordered paternity test showed a 99.999% probability that he is indeed the biological father.

A Shocking Silence Agreement

According to The Wall Street Journal, Musk’s right-hand man, Jared Birchall, attempted to broker a non-disclosure agreement with St. Clair. The deal would grant her $15 million upfront and a $100K monthly allowance—but with one catch: Musk could say whatever he wanted publicly, while St. Clair had to stay silent.

Birchall reportedly said the arrangement was similar to deals Musk had made with other mothers of his children, including pop star Grimes and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.

C-Section Demand Sparks Controversy

In a bizarre twist, Musk allegedly requested that St. Clair deliver the baby via C-section, claiming it would result in a larger brain for the child. St. Clair, who is Jewish, refused the request on religious and personal grounds.

Musk’s Unconventional Family Plans

Sources say Musk even proposed that St. Clair, Zilis, and Grimes all move into a compound in Austin, Texas, to co-parent and spend time with him and the children. Grimes and St. Clair declined, while Zilis agreed and currently resides in a gated community where Musk visits regularly.
