'Petulant Man-Child': Ashley St. Clair slams Elon Musk after he questions paternity despite paying $2.5M

Elon Musk disputes paternity claims by Ashley St. Clair, stating he paid $2.5M in support, while St. Clair accuses him of financial control, calling him a 'petulant man-child'.

Elon Musk sends $2.5 million in child support to Ashley St. Clair, says ‘I don’t know if the baby is mine, but...’

Influencer Ashley St. Clair criticized billionaire Elon Musk, calling him a "petulant man-child," in response to his X post where he expressed uncertainty about being the father of her child.

"And you weren’t sending me money; you were sending support for your child that you thought was necessary until you withdrew most of it to maintain control and punish me for disobedience," she said, adding that Musk was punishing his own child by withholding the support.

"It’s all about control with you, and everyone can see it. America needs you to grow up, your petulant man-child," St. Clair added, continuing to criticize Musk's actions.

The comments came after MAGA activist Laura Loomer shared a video showing St. Clair selling her Tesla. St. Clair claimed she was selling the car to cover $100,000 in alleged cuts to her child support payments from Musk.

Responding to this Elon Musk has claimed that he paid $2.5 million, in addition to $500,000 annually, to influencer Ashley St. Clair in child support, as she alleges, she is the mother of Musk's 13th child.

Musk made the statement on his X account regarding St. Clair’s six-month-old child, saying, "I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but I am not against finding out. No court order is needed."

In February, St. Clair asserted that she had given birth to Musk's 13th child. She later shared text messages exchanged with the Tesla CEO. One of the messages, allegedly sent by Musk, read, "I want to get you pregnant again," while another said, "Well, we do have a lot of kids to make."

While Musk has not denied the possibility of being the father of the child, but he has refused to acknowledge the child as his without a paternity test. Despite his public willingness to take one, St. Clair insists he has already refused before the child was even born.
