Ashley St Clair, who claims to be the mother of Elon Musk’s 13th child, recently directed a sharp remark at Musk, calling him a “petulant man-child,” as their contentious legal dispute continues.
Musk, the owner of Tesla, disclosed the significant financial arrangements he has made with the 26-year-old influencer. This includes a substantial lump sum amounting to millions, along with a generous ongoing ‘salary’.
A video shared on Twitter, Musk’s social media platform, captures St Clair fielding questions from reporters while simultaneously selling her $100,000 Tesla, allegedly a gift from Musk.
When questioned about her reason for selling the electric car, she explained: “I need to make up for the 60 percent cut that Elon made to our son’s child support.”
Addressing whether she thought Musk was acting ‘vindictively’ towards her, St Clair responded: “Well, that’s his modus operandi, when women speak out.”
She continued: “You can check the stocks, I’m not the only one who is cleaning up after his messes. The markets are catching up to what I have known for a long time.”
According to St Clair, Musk has not been in contact with her since February 13, just a day before she publicly announced the claim of having a child with the SpaceX founder. Musk responded to her claims on social media.
He stated: “I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out. No court order is needed.
“Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year.”
On February 21, St Clair filed two legal petitions against Musk with the New York Supreme Court. The first petition requests sole legal custody of the alleged five-month-old son, referred to as ‘RSC’, while the second demands a paternity test from Musk.
In response to Musk’s comments on Twitter, St Clair said: “Elon, we asked you to confirm paternity through a test before our child (who you named) was even born. You refused.
“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’. But you’re really only punishing your son.
“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. It’s all about control with you, and everyone can see it.”
