Influencer and political commentator Ashley St. Clair has criticized billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk in a public exchange over alleged child support payments, calling him a "petulant man-child" and accusing him of trying to control her through financial support.

St. Clair’s remarks were in response to a recent post by Musk on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), where he questioned his paternity over her child. “You weren’t sending me money; you were sending support for your child that you thought was necessary until you withdrew most of it to maintain control and punish me for disobedience,” St. Clair said.

St. Clair Claims Musk Cut Child Support Payments


The controversy escalated after right-wing activist Laura Loomer shared a video of St. Clair selling her Tesla. St. Clair claimed the sale was prompted by a $100,000 cut in alleged child support from Musk. She accused the Tesla and SpaceX CEO of using financial support as leverage, stating, “It’s all about control with you, and everyone can see it. America needs you to grow up.”

Musk Responds, Says $2.5 Million Already Paid in Support


In his response, Elon Musk acknowledged the possibility of being the child’s father and stated that he had paid $2.5 million in support, in addition to $500,000 annually. “I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but I am not against finding out. No court order is needed,” Musk wrote on X.

St. Clair previously claimed she gave birth to Musk’s 13th child in February. She also posted screenshots of alleged text conversations with Musk, including one message reading, “I want to get you pregnant again,” and another saying, “Well, we do have a lot of kids to make.”

Dispute Over Paternity Test Continues


While Musk has not denied the possibility of paternity, he has withheld official acknowledgment of the child pending a paternity test. St. Clair alleges Musk had previously refused to take the test before the child was born, despite now claiming he is open to one.

The matter remains unresolved, with both parties making conflicting public claims.
