Ashley St. Clair has alleged that Elon Musk “blocked” Grimes — the artist he shares three children with — after she “pleaded” with him for help.
St. Clair, 27, who previously built a profile as a MAGA influencer, spoke at length about her experience having a child with the Tesla chief executive in 2024 in a TikTok video that has now drawn close to three million views.
She says she is the mother of Musk’s 14th child, a boy named Romulus St. Clair, adding that the pair have been locked in an ongoing legal dispute involving paternity and custody.
According to reports, a paternity test found the 54-year-old is “99.9999%” likely to be the father. The Wall Street Journal also reported allegations that Musk proposed a $15 million payment plus $100,000 a month in exchange for St. Clair staying quiet about the child.
St. Clair has said she does not want her son to “be a secret,” and has uploaded multiple TikTok posts in which she claims to reveal Musk’s alleged “secrecy and lies,” describing him as having a “complicated relationship with the truth”.
In her latest claims, St. Clair said Musk cut off communication with Grimes, who has previously spoken publicly about co-parenting challenges, after an exchange involving support for their children.
“It just made me uncomfortable because mind you, I’m already a mother by the time I’m with Elon, so I’m viewing their interactions through the lens of a mother,” she said in the clip.
St. Clair went onto claim: “There was one time when Claire [Grime’s real name] was texting him, pleading for something like with the kids, and he just texts back ‘I’m blocking you’, and he blocked her.”
She added that this incident happened while she was pregnant, and that witnessing it left her feeling what she described as a mother’s “despair”.
“He has your kids and now your blocked, this is crazy,” she added.
St. Clair said that after observing the exchange, she began to believe she would need to “protect” herself going forward.
Separately, she is suing xAI, linked to Musk’s social platform X, over the circulation of explicit deepfake content that she says depicted her as a child.
According to her filing: “X users dug up photos of St Clair fully clothed at 14 years old and requested Grok undress her and put her in a bikini.”
The filing further alleges that users generated an image portraying the Jewish influencer “in a string bikini covered with swastikas”.
Musk’s representatives have been contacted for comment.
