Influencer Ashley St. Clair Claims Elon Musk Made “Weird” Request During Birth of His 13th Child — and She Immediately Opposed It
In a bizarre and unexpected twist to an already unusual birth announcement, conservative commentator and influencer Ashley St. Clair has claimed that Elon Musk made a “weird” and “deeply unsettling” request during the birth of his 13th child — one that she says she immediately opposed.
The claim surfaced during a recent podcast appearance, where St. Clair, known for her outspoken social media presence and past ties to political controversy, shared what she described as a “behind-the-scenes moment” involving Musk and the mother of his most recent child, whose identity has not yet been publicly confirmed.
According to St. Clair, who says she was in contact with the family around the time of the birth, Musk allegedly made a request that a camera drone be allowed inside the delivery room to capture the moment of birth for future use in an AI training model.
“He said — and I quote — ‘This is the future of birth. One day all humans will have theirs recorded, cataloged, and digitized,’” St. Clair recalled during the interview. “He wanted to use the footage for some kind of AI-human experience database. I was stunned.”
While there is no confirmation yet from Musk or his representatives, the story has already sparked intense conversation across social media, with critics calling the alleged request “invasive,” “absurd,” and “yet another example of Musk blurring the line between tech ambition and personal boundaries.”
St. Clair claims she voiced her opposition to the idea immediately and directly, saying she urged those involved to deny the request. “I said, ‘Absolutely not. That’s not innovation — that’s exploitation,’” she said. “A child’s birth should be sacred, not data for your next experiment.”
She further added that the mother, initially “unsure,” ultimately agreed not to go along with the plan. “I think she was overwhelmed,” St. Clair said. “You’ve got Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, talking about neural data maps while you’re going into labor. It’s a lot.”
Musk, 53, has not publicly responded to the claims, though he has previously stated his belief that humanity must embrace advanced AI and digitized human experiences to thrive in a post-singularity future. His past ventures, such as Neuralink, have already sparked debates about privacy and ethics, making this latest accusation — whether true or exaggerated — feel strangely on-brand to many.
Reactions have been mixed. Some of Musk’s fans defended the idea as “forward-thinking” or “on-brand genius,” while others were quick to condemn it. “There’s a difference between tech progress and personal dignity,” one user posted. “Birth is not a beta test.”
As the controversy continues to unfold, what remains unclear is how much truth there is to St. Clair’s story, or whether it’s part of a broader media strategy on her part. Still, in a world where billionaires dream of digitizing everything — from consciousness to childbirth — the line between innovation and intrusion continues to blur.
And for some, like Ashley St. Clair, that line has already been crossed.
