Elon Musk’s ex and mother of his youngest child, “Ashley St. Clair”, says she is broke, facing eviction, and turning to podcasting to stay afloat.
The 26-year-old influencer, who is currently in a custody battle with Musk over their nearly one-year-old son “Romulus”, launched her new show “Bad Advice with Ashley St. Clair” with some self-deprecating humor.
“After a year of unplanned career suicide, questionable life choices, and a LinkedIn gap that can’t be legally explained, I’ve decided to start a podcast,” she joked. “Not because anyone asked, but because statistically speaking, it was either this or join a pyramid scheme. Also, I’m getting evicted — and Polymarket offered me \$10,000 for an ad read, so the roof over my head is now sponsored.”
The launch comes as St. Clair and the Tesla billionaire clash in court. Court filings allege Musk once offered her “$15 million and $100,000 per month in hush money” during her pregnancy, but she rejected the deal. After she went public on Valentine’s Day with news of their son, she claimed Musk reduced her support payments. Musk maintains he has already given millions, while St. Clair accuses him of behaving like a “petulant man-child.”
Baby Romulus, born in September 2024, is Musk’s “13th child”. In her petition, St. Clair alleged Musk skipped the birth and has only seen their son a few times.
St. Clair also used her debut episode to poke fun at Musk’s 19-year-old protégé “Edward “Big Balls” Coristine”, who was recently injured while trying to stop a carjacking in Washington, D.C.
“Everyone’s talking about Elon Musk’s Big Balls,” she quipped. “Fox News called it a gang attack, but really it was just a bloody nose — about the same damage I sustained after telling my toddler he couldn’t watch Paw Patrol.”
The attempted car theft has since drawn political attention, with former President Donald Trump citing the incident as a reason to deploy the National Guard in D.C.
