(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Tech mogul Elon Musk has had enough of the baby momma drama.
On Monday, Musk took to X to respond to a viral video showing his alleged baby mother—conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair—selling her $100,000 Tesla, claiming Musk had slashed nearly 60% of child support payments.
The video, captured by the Daily Mail and shared on X, showed St. Clair handing over the Tesla’s keys to a car salesperson while answering questions from reporters.
Asked if she believed Musk was deliberately targeting her, St. Clair replied: “Yeah, that’s his modus operandi when women speak out.”
She claimed their last communication was on Feb. 13 and, when asked about the Tesla boycott, quipped, “You can check the stocks, I’m not the only one who is cleaning up after his messes.”
The video sparked backlash, including from journalist Laura Loomer, called St. Clair a “gold digger” and “professional gaslighter.”
Musk responded to Loomer’s post, revealing he had given St. Clair millions despite not knowing if the child—born sometime in 2024—was his.
“I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out. No court order is needed,” Musk wrote. “Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year.”

St. Clair fired back, claiming she had asked Musk to confirm paternity before the child’s birth.
“You refused,” she wrote.
“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,” St. Clair added.
She ended with a final jab: “America needs you to grow up, you petulant man-child.”
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…

St. Clair and Musk’s public feud began on Feb. 14, 2025, when St. Clair announced on X that she had Musk’s child after meeting him just a year prior.
She claimed she was forced to go public because “tabloid media” intended to break the news, likely putting the child’s privacy in jeopardy.
St. Clair, a social media influencer previously associated with The Babylon Bee, met Musk when the satirical outlet’s CEO, Seth Dillon, interviewed him at X headquarters. Their relationship soured after the disclosure of the pregnancy, which Musk reportedly wanted to keep private.
If confirmed, this would be Musk’s 14th child.
