Inside 'MAGA mama' Ashley St Clair's past life before 'giving birth to Elon Musk's child'

Before Valentine's Day, Ashley St Clair was notorious for her far-right political beliefs as a MAGA influencer espousing US President Donald Trump's pro-America rhetoric on social media. Today, the 26-year-old is best known as Elon Musk's fourth 'baby mama' after she sensationally claimed she shared a five-month old baby with the 'First Buddy' - referring to the Tesla billionaire's friendship with Trump.

Amid heightened scrutiny into St Clair's life, it has been revealed that she is a political commentator and the author of conservative children books, as well as a longtime writer for the Babylon Bee - a right-wing version of satirical website The Onion. Now, a deep-dive into her personal X page (@stclairashley) that dates back to 2017 has revealed new details about her childhood - including growing up 'dirt poor' and eating 'cornstarch meals' - and past relationships.

It has also shone a light on how St. Clair's social media presence has benefited since Musk, 53, took over the reigns from Jack Dorsey in April 2022. Prior to Musk's takeover of the platform, St. Clair's account was allegedly suspended on a number of occasions for violating the platform's rules regarding 'hateful content' in response to tweets deemed racist, fatphobic, and transphobic. The pro-life, pro-guns campaigner has routinely declared there are 'only two genders' and criticised the body positivity movement for 'promoting obesity' in posts on the micro-blogging platform.

Here, FEMAIL revisits 'MAGA mama' St. Clair's X account in the years leading up to her affair with the company's CEO - and the world's richest man - Musk:. Before Valentine's Day, Ashley St Clair was notorious for her far-right political beliefs as a MAGA influencer espousing US President Donald Trump 's pro-America rhetoric on social media. Today, the 26-year-old is best known as Elon Musk 's fourth 'baby mama' after she sensationally claimed she shared a five-month old baby with the 'First Buddy'.

St Clair has been pictured with Trump allies like FBI Director pick Kash Patel (above). St Clair, who is Jewish, first gave her Twitter followers rare insight into her upbringing in a 2019 tweet, where she recalled how her mother went ‘from feeding a family of four on $0.60 a day, eating cornstarch and water & drinking powdered milk to being a top business leader’. She has also claimed that her parents got divorced when she was a child, and that her mother and siblings were pushed into poverty and subsisted on 'food stamps' after her father left.

Ashley has a younger brother and an older sister whom she described as her 'best friend, human diary and the best gnocchi maker’ in a tribute Instagram post on the occasion of her sibling's birthday. In a separate X post from five years ago, Ashley revealed her family grew up so poor that 'at times, we didn’t have running water'. 'The best gifts my mom could get us were from the Dollar Tree,’ she wrote in a message shared on November 4, 2019.

Today, St Clair lives in a swanky Manhattan apartment near City Hall, costing an estimated $12,000 to $15,000 per month. One resident of the exclusive condo tower, which has been home to VIPs and celebrities, said St Clair was the first person he knew to get a Tesla Cybertruck – and he wondered how the young influencer afforded it. Neighbors also said St Clair was apparently living as a single mother, but has a full-time nanny looking after her two children: Musk's alleged baby and a toddler from her previous relationship.

St Clair, who is Jewish, first gave her Twitter followers rare insight into her upbringing in a 2019 tweet, where she recalled how her mother went ‘from feeding a family of four on $0.60 a day, eating cornstarch and water & drinking powdered milk to being a top business leader’. Musk has at least 12 other children with three women: Justine Wilson, Claire Elise Boucher AKA Grimes, and Shivon Zilis.

Before allegedly welcoming her love child with Musk five months ago, St Clair fell pregnant in 2021 before giving birth to her firstborn, a son, who she shares with ex-boyfriend and New York based chiropractor Dr Johnny Alexander. She first made mention of a boyfriend - who was apparently a regular fixture of her Instagram account - in 2019. It appears Ashley was still in a long-term relationship in 2020, when the pro-gun campaigner told her followers he ‘surprised me with a new Macbook and a bulletproof vest’ for Christmas.

The following year, Ashley told her followers that her boyfriend had ‘lost four patients that are Facebook employees’ because of her social media activity. It appears some of Dr Alexander's patients, however, approved of St Clair; today, she remains friends with disgraced ex-congressman George Santos, who also appeared on a podcast with him this month. After St Clair's baby bombshell, Santos rallied to her side on X, posting that he would defend her from anyone trying to 'exploit or expose' her.
