Elon Musk and Ashley St. Clair Clash Over Paternity and Child Support

Musk claims he has provided $2.5 million in support, while St. Clair alleges financial retaliation and reduced payments.

Ashley St. Clair, a conservative influencer, claims Elon Musk cut child support payments for their alleged son by 60%, forcing her to sell her Tesla Model S.
Musk has publicly stated he does not know if the child is his but is open to a paternity test and claims to have given St. Clair $2.5 million and $500,000 annually in financial support.
St. Clair alleges Musk refused a paternity test before the child's birth and has only met the child three times, further accusing him of financial retaliation after she filed for sole custody.
The dispute has escalated publicly, with Musk seeking a gag order to limit St. Clair's statements, which she opposes, citing her right to speak out.
Both parties are preparing for a May 2025 court hearing to address custody and paternity, with Musk's legal team reportedly delaying proceedings by avoiding formal service of court documents.
