A picture of Elon Musk ogling the woman who claims to be his latest baby mama has added support to her version of the events leading to their romance.
The picture, the first of the couple unearthed by DailyMail.com, shows the two at Twitter headquarters in San Francisco at the very time that Ashley St. Clair says she met President Trump’s government efficiency tsar.
The photo – dating to May 2023 – is the only image of the two together that has emerged so far, and helps establish the timeline of the romance between the world’s richest man, 53, and the right-wing influencer, 26.
St. Clair says Musk first ‘slid into my DMs’ in May 2023, and that she met him at an interview he did that month with her then-boss Seth Dillon, CEO of right-leaning satirical news site Babylon Bee.
Dillon also appears in the picture talking at Musk – although the multi-billionaire seems to only have interest in the pretty brunette.
Tweets show Musk’s first public interaction with St. Clair was on May 4 2023, when he replied with a laughing emoji to a meme she posted about vaccine skepticism.
Over the next few days they traded public messages, talking about the nation’s mental health crisis, the dangers of Adderall, and lamenting the killing of cows in the name of environmentalism.
Musk was also taking notice of her selfies.

On May 12, 2023, St. Clair posted a photo of herself in a car, biting her tongue and smiling.
After the photo got several hundred thousand views, she followed up with a political warning.
‘Now while I have your attention: In the last 36 months, the Federal Reserve printed 80% of all US dollars in existence,’ she wrote.
Musk replied ‘Nice catfish’, referring to the term for a bait-and-switch using attractive pictures.
The two appear to have met for the first time ten days later, when her employer the Babylon Bee was invited to interview Musk at the San Francisco headquarters of his newly-purchased company Twitter, which he later renamed X.
On May 22, St. Clair posted a photo on X of her and Elon together at the offices.
As her boss Dillon talked at the billionaire, who was wearing a Doge meme t-shirt, Musk seemed to only have eyes for St. Clair, who was dressed in black jeans and a leather jacket.
At the time she had her natural brunette hair. Fans spotted that she later dyed it blonde – which other women in Musk’s life have been reported to do at his request.

Their public flirty online interactions continued, trading risqué jokes about ‘d**k pics’, innuendo-laden references to ‘pulling out’, ‘how babies are made’ and ‘horny jail’
Their public flirty online interactions continued, trading risqué jokes about ‘d**k pics’, innuendo-laden references to ‘pulling out’, ‘how babies are made’ and ‘horny jail’.
In an interview with the New York Post the day after she went public about her baby, St. Clair said Musk followed up his meeting with her in San Francisco with an invite to join him on an impromptu trip to Providence, Rhode Island.
‘After the interview, I got a text from him saying, ‘Feel like going to Providence [Rhode Island] tonight?’ she told the Post.
Weeks before, St. Clair publicly claimed she had Musk’s baby, in a post on X on Valentines Day, DailyMail.com had been investigating claims that the two were in a romantic relationship.
A source close to St. Clair originally insisted that the right-wing influencer only met Musk once, at the San Francisco interview, and had falsely flat-out denied any sexual relationship between them.
But St. Clair has since said that she had Musk’s baby ‘five months’ ago, around September 2024 – meaning the couple had at least one other rendezvous at which the baby was conceived, around December 2023 or January 2024.
Indeed, Reddit sleuths who follow Musk’s movements with a microscope and who had spotted his online flirtation with St. Clair months ago, pointed out in December, 2023 that the pair both appeared to be in Miami.
Musk’s jet was traced to Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on December 9, 2023, and a Musk fan said they spotted that St. Clair’s other baby daddy Dr. Johnny Alexander posted on his Instagram story that she had boarded a flight to Miami on December 7.
But St. Clair’s spokesman, Brian Glicklich, denied she was in Miami at the same time as Musk.
‘Dr. Alexander’s post was not in reference to their prior relationship, but was about Art Basel, which was in Miami at the time, and certain memes that circulated around the event,’ Glicklich told DailyMail.com.

If recent allegations are to be believed, a new child with conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair would extend Musk’s brood to 13 – only 12 of whom are still alive
Around the same time as her Miami trip, St. Clair moved into a luxury apartment on one of the top floors of a condo building near City Hall in Manhattan, frequented by celebrities
Now that the secret is out, St. Clair is hoping for Elon to publicly acknowledge the allegations
‘Ashley was, in fact, in South Florida, for a holiday party with her employer that was not even in Miami.
‘Ashley’s relationship with Dr. Alexander had ended a very long time before his post, and long before she met Elon.’
Alexander, a chiropractor who runs a clinic in Manhattan, posted loving pictures with St Clair in August and September 2020 with the captions ‘Team Deplorable’ and ‘Best part of my week’, but does not appear to have been publicly pictured with her since then.
A source close to the couple told DailyMail.com they are currently separated but co-parenting their three-year-old son, born around November 2021.
Around the same time as her Miami trip, St. Clair moved into a luxury apartment on one of the top floors of a condo building near City Hall in Manhattan, frequented by celebrities.
Neighbors estimated the rent for her three-bed apartment was between $12,000 and $15,000 a month.
One neighbor familiar with St. Clair told DailyMail.com she was reclusive, had a full-time nanny for her toddler and new baby, and claimed she was one of the first to get a Cybertruck, made by Musk’s company Tesla.
The resident was perplexed at how St. Clair could afford the luxuries on her X influencer earnings, which amounted to roughly $3-5,000 per month last year according to a payment statement she posted.
A source close to St. Clair denied she had a Cybertruck.
After giving birth to Musk’s alleged baby around September last year, Musk and St. Clair continued to send each other friendly public tweets.
St. Clair made the allegations about Musk being the father of her child last Friday – she alleged she had given birth last September
Musk has had at least 12 other children with three women: Justine Wilson, Claire Elise Boucher AKA Grimes, and Shivon Zilis. His list of rumored past girlfriends is extensive
St. Clair told the NY Post that she was getting increasingly frustrated, after Musk told her to keep the baby secret
As recently as February 10, they were chatting cordially on X, with St. Clair rallying to Musk’s defense about his DOGE audit of the Social Security system.
‘What the [f***] do you think Elon Musk is going to do with your social security number??? Tweet it???? Open a line of credit you don’t have??????’ St. Clair tweeted.
‘Seriously,’ Musk replied with two laughing emojis. ‘And for damn sure, I’m 1000% more trustworthy than untold numbers of deep state bureaucrats and fraudsters who may be misusing your SSN right now.’
But St. Clair told the Post that she was getting increasingly frustrated, after Musk told her to keep the baby secret.
‘I was being asked to keep it a secret forever,’ she said. ‘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.
‘Almost every relationship in my life would be bastardized and disingenuous because I couldn’t tell them what was going on. 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.’
It reached a tipping point on Valentine’s week, when Musk allegedly ghosted her, instead leaving loving messages in response to pictures of his other baby momma Shivon Zilis and their children which the mother-of-three posted on X.
Furious, St. Clair resorted to messaging him publicly.
‘Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded,’ she wrote on Saturday. ‘When are you going to reply to us’.
Glicklich told DailyMail.com that the reason she came forward on Friday was because she believed ‘tabloid media’ was planning to out her.
