Ashley St. Clair, Elon Musk’s ex and the mother of his youngest child, says she is broke, facing eviction, and turning to podcasting to survive.
The 26-year-old influencer made the revelation in the debut episode of her new show, “Bad Advice with Ashley St. Clair,” which premiered Monday.
Opening with sharp humor about her situation, Ashley St. Clair quipped:
“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. 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 against the backdrop of a heated custody battle with Musk over their son, Romulus, born in September 2024—Musk’s 13th child.
Court documents allege Musk offered Ashley St. Clair $15 million and $100,000 per month during her pregnancy to stay quiet—an offer she claims to have rejected. After she went public on Valentine’s Day about their child, she says Musk cut her support payments.
Musk, however, insists he has already provided millions, while St. Clair has accused him of acting like a “petulant man-child.” She also claims Musk skipped Romulus’s birth and has only seen him a handful of times.
During the episode, St. Clair also mocked Musk’s teenage protégé, Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, 19, who was recently injured in Washington, D.C., while trying to stop a carjacking.
“Everyone’s talking about Elon Musk’s Big Balls,” she joked. “His DOGE crony Edward Coristine got roughed up by two teenagers. Fox News called it a gang, but really it was just a bloody nose. The damage was about what I sustained after telling my toddler he couldn’t watch Paw Patrol.”
Police confirmed two teens have been arrested, with one suspect still at large. Former U.S. President Donald Trump weighed in, citing the incident to justify deploying the National Guard in D.C., claiming Coristine was “very badly hurt” and “lucky to be alive.”
