Elon Musk has now acknowledged a lawsuit filed against him by a woman claiming to have given birth to his thirteenth child.

"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.
"I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child's privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting."
St. Clair has since sued Musk asking for sole custody of her little boy, whom she claims to share with the multibillionaire.
