It’s been a minute since we checked in on Ashley St. Clair, the MAGA wingnut who successfully honey-trapped Elon Musk into putting a baby in her via IVF (??). A couple of months ago, Ashley announced that she gave birth to their son, Elon’s 13th child, late last year. Soon after Ashley’s chaotic self-promotion-baby, Elon’s baby mother Shivon Zilis announced that she had also given birth to another Musk child, 14th overall and fourth by Zilis. St. Clair seemed disturbed to realize that she was not even the only baby-mother pregnant with a Musk child last year, because Zilis’s announcement seemed to send St. Clair into a spiral. St. Clair went to court, demanding more child support AND sole custody of the child. Now St. Clair is going public again with claims that Musk has financially retaliated against her, so she retaliated against him by selling her Tesla.
Ashley St. Clair opted to sell her Tesla just over a week after her legal team claimed Elon Musk “financially retaliated” against the son they share.
On Saturday, March 29, the influencer, 26, spoke to the Daily Mail on camera as she handed over the car keys to her Tesla Model S. She told the outlet she was selling the car to compensate for the “60 percent cut that Elon made to our son’s child support.”
The reporter asked St. Clair if she felt Musk’s actions were “vindictive” in any way. She responded, “That’s his modus operandi, when women speak out,” adding that she and the SpaceX CEO, 53, last spoke on Feb. 13.
“You can check the stocks, I’m not the only one who is cleaning up after his messes,” added St. Clair, who announced that she and Musk share a son on X on Feb. 14. He is also the father of 13 other children whom he shares with three other women.
Earlier this month, PEOPLE exclusively shared a statement from St. Clair’s legal team regarding Musk’s response to her filing a petition for sole custody with the New York Supreme Court in February.
“Elon Musk has financially retaliated against his own child and reduced his financial support substantially and unilaterally. He did this after Ashley was forced to bring this matter to court, when he refused to respond to her many private attempts to resolve this matter without publicity,” her legal representatives, Karen Rosenthal, Bikel Rosenthal & Schanfield LLP, alleged to PEOPLE in a statement.
“At the same time, he filed an emergency application to gag Ashley and prevent her from communicating about his actions. The judge denied the emergency nature of the application, even though it is still pending,” they continued.
“Ashley is vigorously opposing this application in order to preserve her right to speak out. All while Mr. Musk fashions himself a first amendment warrior and freely communicates via his owned social media platform,” they claimed. “Given that Mr. Musk is dedicated to transparency in government, it would be helpful if he administered his own life by the same principles.”
Musk countered on social media that he doesn’t even know if St. Clair’s son is his, but without asking for a paternity test, he’s already paid her $2.5 million and promised her $500K a year. That’s what he claims, although St. Clair is certainly not acting like someone who has $2.5 million in the bank. I’m not rooting for any of the adults in this situation – I feel sorry for the kids, but even then, there’s a limit. I hope Ashley St. Clair makes this as messy as possible and she continues to throw huge tantrums in the tabloids. I hope Musk continues to act like a crackhead Nazi because I feel like the worse he gets, the faster the fall. I also hope the other would-be Musk baby-mothers are paying attention to how he’s treating Ashley. Just because he’s recreating the Boys From Brazil South Africa in real time, doesn’t mean you have to agree to his f–ked up arrangement.
