Ashley St. Clair, who claims to be the mother of one of Elon Musk’s 14 children, says she is broke and facing eviction after what she described as a year of “career suicide.”
“Well, after a year of unplanned career suicide, many questionable life choices, and a gap in my LinkedIn profile that cannot legally be explained, I’ve decided to start a podcast,” St. Clair said, amid reports of an ongoing custody dispute with the Tesla CEO over their one-year-old son, Romulus. Though she did not mention Musk by name, she announced she was being evicted and that Polymarket, a U.S. cryptocurrency-based prediction market, had offered her $10,000 for an ad read.
In a 30-minute clip posted Monday on Musk’s X platform to promote her show Bad Advice with Ashley St. Clair, she commented on the recent attack on 19-year-old DOGE staffer Edward Coristine, known online as “Big Balls,” who was reportedly assaulted by about 10 juveniles in Washington, DC.
“Two teenagers tried to steal a car, and instead of just letting them take it, Big Balls decided to intervene. He was with his girlfriend, or lady partner—whatever the Musk orbit calls their non-committal fluid breeding vessel contenders these days… He got his ass beat so bad, some are calling it reparations,” St. Clair said, adding, “I’m not, of course. I would never do that. But what I don’t understand is why you didn’t just let them take the car?”
St. Clair went public in February with claims that Musk fathered her child. She alleged that Musk, a vocal pro-natalist, offered her a one-time $15 million payment plus $100,000 per month until her son turns 21 in exchange for her silence—an offer she says she rejected. “I don’t want my son to feel like he’s a secret,” St. Clair reportedly told Jared Birchall, who manages Musk’s family office.
According to a lab report reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, the “Probability of Paternity was 99.9999%,” though Musk has maintained he does not know “for sure” if the child is his.
Musk has six children with his ex-wife Justine Wilson, three with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, and three with musician Grimes.
