Overview

  • Ashley St. Clair, a conservative influencer, sold her Tesla, citing financial strain after alleging that Elon Musk reduced child support payments by 60%.
  • Musk responded by stating he has provided $2.5 million and $500,000 annually for the child, despite not confirming paternity and being open to a test.
  • St. Clair filed for sole custody and a paternity test in February, claiming Musk has been largely absent, meeting the child only three times.
  • St. Clair accused Musk of financial retaliation following her legal actions and alleged he attempted to silence her with a gag order, which a judge denied as an emergency.
  • The dispute continues to escalate publicly and legally, with Musk questioning paternity and St. Clair accusing him of using financial control to punish her.
