Ashley St. Clair has just announced that she had a child with Elon Musk, about 5 months ago.

Ashley St. Clair claims to have secretly given birth to Elon Musk’s 13th child five months ago. Ashley lives in Manhattan, reportedly raises two children, including Elon Musk’s alleged baby, with the help of a nanny.

“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father,” she posted on X(formerly Twitter). “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.”

Following her statement, Musk responded cryptically on his platform, X, by reacting with a crying laughing emoji to a fan’s comment suggesting that “make another baby” was just another “side quest.”

Daily Mail reports indicate that St. Clair moved to an upscale Manhattan apartment near City Hall about a year ago rent estimated between $12,000 and $15,000 per month.

Residents noted that St. Clair was among the first in the building to own a Tesla Cybertruck. “The Elon Musk thing doesn’t surprise me. She was definitely one of the first people in a pretty large, luxury building to get a Cybertruck,” one resident told Daily Mail.

To be honest we lost count of Musk’s kids, but the count is +12!

In a swift legislative move, El Salvador’s Congress has reportedly approved amendments to its Bitcoin laws in order to align with the terms of an agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This development marks a significant step in the country’s ongoing efforts to integrate Bitcoin into its financial system while adhering to international financial agreements.

The ruling party lawmaker, Elisa Rosales, emphasized that the amendment was necessary to ensure Bitcoin’s “permanence as legal tender” in El Salvador. The adjustment aims to refine the legal framework surrounding Bitcoin to ensure its continued recognition as a legitimate currency within the country. This step is also viewed as a way to smooth out practical issues that have emerged since Bitcoin was adopted as legal tender in 2021.

The law amendment seeks to clarify and streamline the implementation of Bitcoin as a payment method, addressing practical challenges that have surfaced in the adoption process. Rosales noted that while Bitcoin’s introduction was a bold and innovative move by the government, there were technical and regulatory challenges that needed to be resolved to facilitate its broader use in everyday transactions.

The IMF deal has played a significant role in shaping this shift in policy. El Salvador has faced considerable pressure from the IMF and other international financial institutions to adopt certain fiscal and monetary policies in exchange for financial assistance and cooperation. These amendments are seen as part of the country’s efforts to meet the IMF’s concerns, particularly regarding financial stability and the integration of cryptocurrencies into traditional economic frameworks.

Since El Salvador became the first country to make Bitcoin legal tender, the decision has garnered significant attention globally. While Bitcoin’s adoption has had both supporters and critics, the move has placed El Salvador at the forefront of global cryptocurrency discussions. The amendments are likely to ease tensions between the government and international financial bodies, providing a path for smoother cooperation going forward.

Critics of the original Bitcoin law, including some members of the international financial community, have expressed concerns about the risks associated with Bitcoin’s price volatility, its potential to destabilize the national economy, and the challenges faced by citizens in using Bitcoin for daily transactions. The government’s recent adjustments aim to mitigate these concerns while still maintaining Bitcoin’s central role in the country’s economy.

This development signals that while Bitcoin remains firmly embedded in El Salvador’s economic strategy, the government is taking steps to ensure the cryptocurrency is integrated more pragmatically into the country’s financial system. The situation will continue to evolve as El Salvador works to balance innovation with the realities of its financial commitments and global relationships.
