Elon Musk’s family drama is once again making headlines. In case you’re not up to speed on his huge family and the mother of his 14 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, let us try to get you up to speed:
The SpaceX founder shares twins Vivian and Griffin, triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian, and a late son Nevada, with ex Justine Wilson; kids X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus with ex Grimes; twins Strider and Azure, plus kids Arcadia and Seldon with Shivon Zillis; and reportedly welcomed a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 with Ashley St. Clair earlier this year.
Little is known about the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 with St. Clair — Musk’s 13th 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦, before Zillis shocked the world with news of Seldon soon after — but now she and Musk are publicly going after each other on X (formerly Twitter).
A video was shared of St. Clair selling the Tesla that Musk gifted her, saying she needed the money to make up for the 60 percent cut he allegedly made to their 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 support agreement.
“I don’t know if the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 is mine or not, but am not against finding out,” Musk then said on the social media platform he owns. “No court order is needed. Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year.”
And we’ll give you a minute to let that jaw-dropping sum sink in. We certainly needed one. He says he has given her $2.5 million and she will continue to get half a million every year … seemingly until the kid turns 18? So more than $11 million over time? Once again, a celebrity 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 support arrangement is leaving us speechless.
St. Clair responded to the tweet by saying he was offered the chance to do a paternity test before their 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 — “who [Musk] named” — was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧.
“You refused. 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,’” the author continued. “But you’re really only punishing your son.”
She then slammed his “last effort” in court which was supposedly to “try to gag” her via the platform he owns to “distribute derogatory messages” about her and the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦, whose name has not been shared.
“It’s all about control with you, and everyone can see it,” she continued. “America needs you to grow up, you petulant man-𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥.”
In February, St. Clair filed for sole custody of their supposed son, who is identified by the initials R.S.C. It doesn’t seem like any legal agreement has been reached regarding custody or 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 support, but we imagine there will be another social media brawl whenever that day comes.
