Ashley St. Clair, mother of Elon Musk’s 13th child, has returned to the public eye and launched a podcast while claiming she’s broke and facing eviction, as the Daily Mail reports.
St. Clair, 26, welcomed son Romulus in September 2024, conceived with Musk in St. Barts, and now battles the billionaire for custody while mocking his associate on her new show. A paternity test confirmed Musk’s fatherhood with 99.99% certainty, thrusting St. Clair into a public feud with the tech mogul. Her podcast, Bad Advice with Ashley St. Clair, debuted Monday, blending her drama with sharp commentary.
St. Clair met Musk in January 2024, resulting in two encounters that led to Romulus’ conception. She claims Musk offered $15 million and $100,000 monthly to silence her about the pregnancy. Instead, she took him to court, escalating their dispute.
St. Clair’s lawyers say Musk slashed financial support after she went public. She alleges he’s met Romulus only three times and skipped the birth. Her petition for sole custody argues she’s the only parent making decisions for their son.
Musk countered in March 2025, claiming he provided $2.5 million and $500,000 annually. St. Clair insists that he withdrew most support after her public statements. This financial tug-of-war leaves her, by her own account, facing eviction.
“I’m getting evicted and Polymarket offered me $10,000 to do an ad read,” St. Clair quipped on her podcast. Her flippant tone masks a grim reality, as she leans on ad deals to stay afloat. The progressive media’s obsession with her saga only fuels her defiance.
St. Clair’s podcast debut wasn’t just about her woes; she aimed at Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old Musk associate. Coristine was injured earlier this month while trying to stop a carjacking in Washington, D.C., suffering a bloody nose and other injuries. St. Clair mocked the incident, calling it “reparations” while denying she’d use the term herself.
“The damage was on par with what I sustained after I told my toddler he couldn’t watch Paw Patrol,” she sneered. Her sarcasm dismisses Coristine’s bravery, aligning with the left’s tendency to trivialize crime. Two 15-year-olds from Hyattsville, Maryland, were arrested, but a third suspect remains at large.
President Donald Trump weighed in after the attack, noting Coristine was “very badly hurt.” He used the incident to justify sending the National Guard to D.C. St. Clair’s mockery of a young man’s injuries reveals a callous streak beneath her anti-woke bravado.
St. Clair went public with her complaints about Musk in February, citing media pressure and a desire to protect Romulus’ privacy. “I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety,” she said. Yet her podcast’s brazen tone suggests she’s more interested in headlines than shielding her son.
“I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment,” St. Claire added. Her public jabs at Musk and his circle undermine that claim, inviting the tabloid frenzy she decries. The left’s glee at her story only emboldens her to double down.
Isabella Moody, a MAGA influencer, shared alleged 2023 messages from St. Clair plotting to “seduce” Musk. “Elon followed me. I need his rocket babies,” the messages supposedly read. If true, they paint St. Clair as less victim, more opportunist, in this messy saga.
Musk’s response early on was equally contentious, claiming, “I don’t know if the child is mine or not.” Despite this, he admits to sending millions to St. Clair. His reluctance to engage with Romulus, as St. Clair alleges, raises questions about his priorities.
“Musk no longer wishes to resolve issues of custody and support amicably,” St. Clair stated. Her accusation suggests Musk’s wealth can’t buy his way out of this PR disaster. The progressive narrative of Musk as a cold billionaire gains traction, though St. Clair’s antics hardly make her a saint.
St. Clair’s podcast, funded partly by Polymarket’s $10,000, thrives on controversy over substance. “I actually think I have the worst ideas, so consider everything out of my mouth a cautionary tale,” she admitted. Her self-awareness might be her only redeeming quality in this spectacle, as she navigates a custody war and eviction threats while mocking Musk’s world.
