Elon Musk Accused of Retaliation in High-Profile Custody Dispute

Ashley St. Clair alleges Musk reduced financial support and sought a gag order after she filed for sole custody of their six-month-old son.

Ashley St. Clair claims Elon Musk substantially reduced financial support for their child following her February 2025 custody lawsuit.
Musk has filed an emergency gag order to restrict St. Clair from publicly discussing the custody case, which she is actively opposing in court.
St. Clair alleges Musk has been largely absent from their son's life, having met the child only three times, with his last visit in November 2024.
The legal process has been delayed as Musk has reportedly avoided accepting service of the custody lawsuit, prolonging the case.
St. Clair has requested a DNA test to confirm Musk's paternity and continues to act as the sole caregiver for the child.
