Ashley St. Clair is accusing Elon Musk of making use of child support to keep control over her after their relationship has come to an end. The Ex-conservative MAGA influencer has claimed that Musk suddenly stopped financial support for their son Romulus after she started speaking publicly about taking legal action.She has directly accused him of punishing her for “disobedience,” turning what was already a dirty custody fight into an even uglier public fight.Ashley St. Clair says Elon Musk cut support after she took him to courtThe drama first began on X back in April 2026 after Musk responded to claims about reduced payments. To this, Musk posted,“I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out.”Elon also claimed that he had already given St. Clair $2.5 million and was sending her $500,000 a year for child support. However, Ashley St. Clair fired back by saying that the support was cut once she stopped remaining quiet.St. Clair’s biggest accusation is that she believes Musk started pulling back the financial support once she stopped dealing with things in private.In a direct response to Musk on X, she wrote,“You withdrew most of it to maintain control and punish me for disobedience.”She also claimed that he refused to take a paternity test before their son could be born, even though she says Musk has named the child himself.The situation became public after Laura Loomer shared a video of St. Clair selling her Tesla Model S.Ashley St. Clair told the Daily Mail that she needed the money because Musk allegedly cut “60 percent” of the child support that was meant for their son. When asked if Musk was being vindictive, she answered,“That’s his modus operandi, when women speak out.”Her legal team later added more fuel to the fire. In a statement that was shared with PEOPLE, her attorneys claimed that Musk,“Financially retaliated against his own child and reduced his financial support substantially and unilaterally.”They also alleged that he'd attempted to legally silence Ashely St. Clair while continuing to post publicly on his own social media platform.The public custody fight after Ashley St. Clair decided to speak out against Elon MuskWhat started off as a private relationship between Elon Musk and Ashely St. Clair has now turned into a full legal fight that sadly involves many courts, a number of lawyers, and nonstop media attention.
