Elon Musk offered to pay Ashley St. Clair a hefty sum to keep their child a secret.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, the Tesla founder, 53, offered to pay the 26-year-old influencer a one-time payment of $15 million, as well as $100,000 a month in support, to keep quiet about their infant son.

A source close to St. Clair confirmed with PEOPLE that Musk offered St. Clair the money in exchange for her silence about the child. The insider can also confirm that similar agreements had been negotiated with other mothers of Musk’s children.

A representative for Musk did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Elsewhere in the report from the Wall Street Journal, it was revealed that St. Clair’s infant son, who was previously referred to as R.S.C., is named Romulus. The article also revealed the results of Musk’s paternity test in the case. According to a report from Labcorp, Musk’s “Probability of Paternity” was 99.9999%.

A spokesperson for St. Clair confirmed to PEOPLE that a paternity test showed there is an almost 100% probability of paternity, as well as the infant’s name.

In February 2025, St. Clair posted an announcement to X, revealing that she and Musk welcomed a child together in September 2024. Musk is also the father of 13 other children, whom he shares with three other women.
