Elon Musk’s Baby Mama Calls BS on Claim He Paid Her Millions

Elon Musk claimed on Monday that he sent conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair millions after she had his baby—but she immediately contested his claims in a lengthy reply calling her former fling a “petulant man-child.”

The heated back-and-forth occurred after Ashley St. Clair very publicly sold her $100,000 Tesla Model S over the weekend, part of an apparent bid to better support her child.

“I’m selling it because I need to make up for the 60 percent cut that Elon made to our son’s child support,” she told a reporter as she handed over the keys to a sales representative.

The right-wing influencer also claimed that withholding money was the DOGE chief’s “modus operandi when women speak out.” She and Musk have been at odds since February, when St. Clair announced that the Tesla CEO was the father of a child she gave birth to in September last year.

Musk seemingly addressed that child for the first time publicly Monday, writing that he had paid St. Clair a significant amount—while denying any knowledge that the child was his.

“I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out,” Musk, 53, said in an X post on Monday. “No court order is needed. Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year.”

The claim prompted a strong denial from St. Clair, who said that she did receive some money initially—but that the cash flow slowed to a trickle after she went public about the child.

“Elon, we asked you to confirm paternity through a test before our child (who you named) was even born. You refused,” she wrote in a reply. “And 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.‘"

“You’re really only punishing your son,” St. Clair went on. “It’s ironic that your last effort in court was to try to gag me while you use a social media channel you literally own to distribute derogatory messages about me and our child to the entire world.”

Earlier this month, St. Clair’s lawyer told People magazine that Musk “financially retaliated” against their supposed son after she filed a suit to gain sole custody.

“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,” the firm Bikel Rosenthal & Schanfield, LLP said in a statement.

In a filing with the New York Supreme Court last month, St. Clair said Musk confirmed his paternity of their son, R.S.C., in text messages.

“If I make a mistake on security [R.S.C.] will never know his father,” Musk allegedly wrote. Another text supposedly read, “I want to knock you up again,” with the tech mogul declaring he and St. Clair had “a legion of kids to make.”

Meanwhile, MAGAworld has eagerly jumped on Musk’s baby mama drama, with conservative pundits like Megyn Kelly blaming St. Clair for her choices and Laura Loomer blasting her as a “gold digger.”

“Sue for full custody!!” Loomer said in reply to Musk’s disclosure of financial support for St. Clair. “Everyone can see she is not being honest. Very generous of you to give her that much money after how disrespectful she’s been to you.”
