ELON MUSK IS MAKING HEADLINES AGAIN—BUT JUST NOT FOR DOGE… OR FOR GIVING CHECKS TO WISCONSIN VOTERS IN THE SUPREME COURT RACE… OR THE ONGOING TESLA PROTESTS…
THIS TIME, THE ALLEGED MOTHER OF HIS MOST RECENT CHILD CLAIMS THE TESLA CEO CUT HER CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS BY 60%.
ASHLEY ST. CLAIR INVITED THE DAILY MAIL TO RECORD HER SELLING HER TESLA OVER THE WEEKEND–MONEY SHE SAID SHE NEEDS AFTER MUSK REDUCED THE FUNDING.
(“Yeah, that’s his modus operandi when women speak out.”)
ST. CLAIR, A CONSERVATIVE INFLUENCER, WENT PUBLIC ON X FEBRUARY 14TH, CLAIMING MUSK IS THE FATHER OF HER CHILD… ADDING OUT OF PRIVACY AND SAFETY REASONS SHE DIDN’T DISCLOSE SHE HAD A SON FIVE MONTHS AGO.
MUSK BROKE HIS SILENCE MONDAY AFTER CLAIMS HE REFUSED TO PROVE HE’S THE FATHER OF ST. CLAIR’S SON. HE SAID HE’S OPEN TO TAKING A DNA TEST BUT, IN THE MEANTIME, HE CLAIMED HE’S ALREADY PAID ST. CLAIR OVER TWO MILLION DOLLARS… ALONG WITH AN ADDITIONAL 500 THOUSAND PER YEAR
ST. CLAIR RESPONDED SAYING WHEN ASKED TO CONFIRM IF MUSK IS THE FATHER, HE REFUSED. SHE ALSO CLAIMS IN A POST HE WITHDREW MOST OF THE FUNDS TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND PUNISH HER FOR DISOBEDIENCE.
IN FEBRUARY, ST. CLAIR FILED A CUSTODY PETITION IN COURT, REQUESTING SOLE CUSTODY OF HER SON FROM A NEW YORK JUDGE. IN A SEPARATE FILING, SHE’S ASKING THE COURT TO ORDER MUSK TO TAKE A PATERNITY TEST. ST. CLAIR AND HER LEGAL TEAM CLAIM HER DECISION TO INVOLVE THE COURTS CAUSED MUSK TO RETALIATE AGAINST HER FINANCIALLY.
IF MUSK IS PROVEN TO BE THE FATHER OF ST. CLAIR’S SON, SHE COULD REQUEST THAT HE PAY CHILD SUPPORT.
