Intriguing revelations about the legal battle between Elon Musk and his ex, influencer Ashley St. Clair, include hush money, child support, and paternity test results.

AceShowbiz - More details surrounding Elon Musk's legal battle with his ex Ashley St. Clair emerged. The tech giant and the conservative influencer share a son following their secret romance, but they couldn't see eye to eye on how to handle the paternity of their child.
According to new reports from The Wall Street Journal and PEOPLE, the Tesla boss wanted to keep the baby's existence a secret. He reportedly offered St. Clair a substantial financial settlement - $15 million upfront and $100,000 monthly - in exchange for her silence regarding their son, Romulus, previously referred to as R.S.C.
The complicating factor is that this isn't a stand-alone incident. Sources close to St. Clair have confirmed that Musk has made similar arrangements with other women.
Paternity tests have shown a 99.9999% probability that Musk is the biological father of St. Clair's baby, yet Musk himself previously cast doubt, claiming uncertainty in a public post. "I don't know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out. No court order is needed," he tweeted.
St. Clair, who announced the birth of their son on X in February 2025, aimed to protect their child's privacy but found it necessary to address the public due to escalating media interest. "I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment," she emphasized.
The narrative took another twist last month when St. Clair claimed to the Daily Mail that she had to sell her Tesla Model S due to a "60 percent cut that Elon made to our son's child support."
Musk quickly denied these allegations, "Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year."
This saga adds another chapter to Musk's complicated history as a father to 14 children with multiple mothers. While some praise Musk's financial support, others see a troubling pattern of control and manipulation.
The unfolding story continues to capture public interest, illustrating the complexities of Musk's personal life and its stark contrast to his public persona as a visionary entrepreneur.
