Elon Musk has issued a one-word response in the wake of conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair’s announcement that she has given birth to the Tesla CEO’s 13th child.
The 26-year-old claims that she and the richest man on the planet share a five-month-old child.
Musk on Saturday reacted to an X user who reposted a screenshot of a 2020 tweet by St. Clair joking that she wanted a “marriage proposal” from the 53-year-old billionaire.
“Ashley St. Clair plotted for HALF A DECADE to ensnare Elon Musk,” they captioned the post.
Musk replied: “Whoa.”
Musk appeared to not respond directly to St. Clair, at least on social media, where he instead posted about the wokeness in videogames, sharing a post from The Babylon Bee, which St. Clair used to write for, responded to a photo of his ex-partner Shivon Zilis with whom he shares twins, and hyped up his Department of Government Efficiency.
St. Clair, on the other hand, told the New York Post that Musk wanted to keep their baby a secret due to safety concerns.
“My child is the most perfect thing that happened to me. I wouldn’t change anything,” the writer told the Post, adding that the baby is happy and healthy. She asked that his name remain under wraps.
The children book’s author also shared a statement on X about her child’s dad.
“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father,” she wrote.
“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,” she explained.
She told the Post that the two met in May 2023 and described Musk as “very funny,” “smart” and “very down to earth.”
She claimed their romance blossomed after she interviewed him — but said that changed once she became pregnant.
“I was told to keep it secret. I was being asked to keep it a secret forever,” St. Clair told the outlet, though she declined to provide a reason for the confidentiality or any evidence that Musk is the biological father.
“I was completely isolated during my pregnancy. Every part of my career and everything I used to do I couldn’t do anymore. I was told not to tell anybody,” she claimed.
Text messages between St. Clair and Jared Birchall, Musk’s money manager, were viewed by the Post and appeared to show that she had complied with Musk’s wish to be left off the birth certificate.
Things escalated after her toddler from a previous relationship was getting threatened.
St. Clair stressed that she was willing to stay silent because it would also protect her newborn’s privacy, but she claimed a tabloid started snooping around, changing everything.
She said she warned Musk’s team that she would be sharing the news, but “he ignored it.”
Now that it’s out there, St. Clair said she just wants to give her baby a normal life.
“My son has never taken a walk outside — in five months. I have never been able to take my baby for a walk. I was terrified that someone would see I had a baby and it would get out,” she told the outlet.
“I am a good mom,” St. Clair added. “And that’s what drives most of my decisions and my kids are my whole world.”

Apple to fix iPhone dictation glitch that suggests replacing the word ’racist’ with ’Trump’

Published Feb 26, 2025 • 1 minute read
LONDON (AP) — Apple is fixing a bug within the dictation feature on some iPhones that briefly suggests the word “Trump” when a word with an R consonant is spoken, including “racist.”
The company is responding to the controversy after some iPhone owners posted videos on social media this week to detail how the glitch works.
When users activated the dictation feature and said the word “racist,” the word “Trump” appears in the text window before quickly being replaced by the correct word, according to various videos posted online.
“We are aware of an issue with the speech recognition model that powers Dictation and we are rolling out a fix today,” Apple said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The company said that the speech recognition models that power the voice-to-text feature might show words with some phonetic overlap.
It also said that other words that have an “r” consonant were also erroneously triggering the bug. The Associated Press could not duplicate the problem on Wednesday, a day after it emerged.
This week the company announced a plan to invest more than $500 billion and hire 20,000 people in the United States over the next four years as well as build a new factory in Texas, amid Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on imports. Separately, Apple shareholders rebuffed an attempt to pressure the company into joining Trump’s push to scrub corporate programs designed to diversify its workforce.

Man torches Tesla chargers in South Carolina and catches clothes on fire

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — A man burned three Tesla chargers in a South Carolina parking lot and also apparently inadvertently set his clothes on fire, police said.
The man spray-painted “long live the Ukraine” and a crude reference to President Donald Trump on the pavement next to the charging stations Friday near an outlet mall in North Charleston, according to a report from the North Charleston Police.
The man then ignited an unidentified material stuffed into beer bottles and began to throw the bottles at the stations, police said. While doing so he caught the clothes on his back on fire, then ran from the parking lot, witnesses told police.
No arrests have been made, North Charleston Police spokesperson Harve Jacobs said Tuesday. The agency turned the investigation over to the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Investigators collected the beer bottles while firefighters cut the power to the chargers and put out the blaze.

Disneyland tourist’s MAGA Mickey Mouse hat sparks outrage

A visitor at Disneyland created a bit of an uproar after a photo of him wearing a controversial hat was posted on social media.
A user named @spacestrawberry420 shared on the theme park’s Reddit page a photo of a man sitting on a tram wearing a black light-up Mickey Mouse hat festooned with the “Make America Great Again” slogan in gold lettering.
“Custom MAGA ears — my friend is at Disneyland today and had the pleasure of sharing a tram ride with these lovely folks,” the caption read.
The woman sitting next to the Trump supporter’s headgear can’t be seen, though her ears do appear to match her seatmate’s, at least colour-wise.
The comments were jam-packed with people, most of whom were shocked that the man would don such a hat at a tourist attraction.
“I really can’t imagine being so pumped for any political party to do this,” one user wrote. “Like it’s not even like a shirt or something that is easily accessible. Like you would have to work to find those.”
Others argued that anything political should be banned from Disney parks.
That said, many pointed out that the man likely wore it to get a reaction — which, incidentally, he accomplished.
“Help me understand the thinking here. ‘I hate woke Disney,’ but let me give them my money. The whole MAGA party is full of hypocrisies.”
Disneyland’s website makes no mention of political attire being against the park’s dress code.
Aside from costumes and masks (with the exception of those used for medical purposes) being worn by older guests, it only mentions “inappropriate attire,” which includes “clothing with objectionable material, including obscene language or graphics,” excessively torn or loose-fitting clothing that could create a potential tripping hazard, and revealing clothing that exposes “excessive portions of the skin.”
