Musk Says He Will Seek Sole Custody of Infant Son Over Fears About Gender Transition

He points to the mother's recent X posts as cause for the filing, with no public evidence she intends any medical transition for the one-year-old.

Overview

  • Musk announced on X that he will file for sole custody of his one-year-old son, Romulus.
  • He said Ashley St. Clair’s recent posts expressing support for the transgender community suggest a risk of a future transition for the child.
  • Reporting to date presents no evidence that St. Clair plans any transition or medical treatment for the infant.
  • Musk has publicly campaigned against gender-affirming care for minors after his older child transitioned in 2020.
  • Prior filings and reports detailed St. Clair’s 2025 custody case, a 99.99% paternity test reported by the Wall Street Journal, and Musk’s claims of paying $2.5 million plus $500,000 annually, with the dispute now set to proceed through court.
