In a developing story involving Elon Musk and Ashley St. Clair, the conservative influencer claims she has been forced to sell her Tesla amid ongoing child support disputes concerning their alleged child. A video recently released by the Daily Mail shows St. Clair, visibly distressed, handing over the keys to her $100,000 vehicle outside her Manhattan apartment. In the clip, she states, “I need to make up for the 60% cut that Elon made to our son’s child support,” implying financial strain due to Musk’s actions.

When asked if she believes Musk is acting vindictively, St. Clair responds, “Well, that’s his motus operandi when women speak out.” She further claims that her attempts to reach Musk have gone unanswered since February 13. In response to the controversy, Musk acknowledged the situation via social media, stating, “I don’t know if the child is mine or not but I’m not against finding out. No court order is needed.” He added that he had already provided St. Clair with $2.5 million and is sending her $500,000 annually.

St. Clair publicly announced the birth of her child on February 14, asserting that Musk is the father and expressing concerns for their child’s privacy against tabloid scrutiny. Following her announcement, she filed for sole custody and a paternity petition to legally establish Musk as the father. Her legal representatives have accused Musk of financial retaliation, asserting that he has substantially reduced his support since she sought legal recourse.

As the situation evolves, both Musk and St. Clair have yet to provide further comments to E! News, leaving many questions unanswered regarding the future of their alleged co-parenting arrangement and the implications of Musk’s financial decisions. The ongoing legal battle and public discourse surrounding this matter continue to draw significant media attention.
