Ashley St. Clair, 26, who is reportedly Elon Musk’s 13th child’s mother, says she has had to sell her $100,000 Tesla to cover for child support allegedly cut by Musk.
The video was posted by a news outlet
St. Clair broke the news in a video posted by the Daily Mail, where she is seen selling her Tesla. The MAGA influencer accused Musk of withholding ‘substantial’ financial support for their child.
In the video, St. Clair explains, “I need to make up for the 60 percent cut that Elon made to our son’s child support.”
St. Clair first announced the child online
In February, the influencer first announced she had Elon Musk’s 13th child in September 2024 after having met the billionaire in May 2023.
She posted the announcement on the tech mogul’s social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter).
Musk had initially ignored her claims
According to St. Clair, Musk hadn’t initially acknowledged her claims of the child being his, neither publicly nor privately, until she filed for sole custody of the boy.

Following the custody lawsuit, Musk responded by cutting off as much as 60% of his child support payments.
Musk publicly acknowledged the car sale on Monday
On Monday March 31, the richest man in the world replied to a tweet where the video of St. Clair selling her Tesla was attached. He wrote that he still wasn’t sure if the child was his.
“I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out. No court order is needed,” Musk wrote.
He claimed he would be giving her money regardless
Musk, who is officially the richest man in the world, added in his post, “Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year.”
As reported by Newsweek, the influencer also shared alleged text messages where Musk tells her “I want to knock you up again” and “Well, we do have a legion of kids to make.”
Musk also didn’t show up to the birth
St. Clair also stated in her legal filing that the tech mogul didn’t show up for their alleged child’s birth and has only ‘met him only three times and has had no involvement in his care and upbringing.’
In the video, a reporter asks St. Clair on her views on Musk’s recent actions, to which she replies, “You can check the stocks. I’m not the only one who is cleaning up his messes.”
St. Clair’s lawyers have commented on Musk’s actions
The influencer’s lawyers have previously written on Musk’s ambiguity towards St. Clair and her baby, saying, “Given that Mr. Musk is dedicated to transparency in government, it would be helpful if he administered his own life by the same principles.”
Musk has 14 children as of now
Elon Musk has 14 children from four different women as of now. The Tesla owner and CEO shares six children with his first wife, Justine Musk, three with singer Grimes, four with Shivon Zilis, Neuralink executive, and Ashley St. Clair’s child would be his 13th if confirmed.
His 14th child is his fourth with Shivon Zilis, who came after St. Clair had announced her baby.
