Ashley St. Clair Slams Elon Musk After He Announced He’s Filing for Full Custody of Their Son

Ashley St. Clair, the mother of one of Elon Musk’s 14 children, responded after the Tesla CEO claimed he was seeking full custody of their son.

Over the weekend, St. Clair responded to a user on X who called out her past transphobic remarks.

“I feel immense guilt for my role. And even more guilt that things I have said in the past may have caused my son’s sister more pain,” St. Clair wrote on January 11, referring to Musk’s daughter Vivian. “Idrk how to make amends for many of these things but I have been trying incredibly hard privately to learn + advocate for those within the trans community that I’ve hurt.”

“I also haven’t said much on this bc I have gone back and forth over whether my voice would be helpful on the issue,” she continued, “since it will be framed as disingenuous or just turning bc I’m ‘scorned.’”

Her remarks were seemingly twisted out of context by Musk — the owner of X — who responded, “I will be filing for full custody today, given her statements implying she might transition a one-year-old boy.”

During a Wednesday, January 14, interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, St. Clair slammed Musk’s reaction.

“I’m not at liberty to discuss it further, but I think anyone with more than a third-grade reading comprehension level knows what I was saying there,” St. Clair said.

Musk and St. Clair welcomed a son, Romulus, in September 2024.
