Elon Musk’s ex and the mother of his youngest child, Ashley St. Clair, says she is broke and facing eviction.
St. Clair revealed this as she launches her new podcast on Monday, Bad Advice with Ashley St. Clair.
The 26-year-old influencer, locked in a custody battle with Musk over their son Romulus, opened her debut episode by saying she had “no choice” but to monetise her chaos.
“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,” St. Clair quipped.
The podcast launch comes amid a bitter custody fight.
Court filings claim Musk, the world’s richest man with a fortune in excess of $400 billion, offered her $15 million and $100,000 a month during her pregnancy to stay quiet, but she turned it down.
After she went public on Valentine’s Day with news of their son, St. Clair says Musk slashed her support payments.
Musk argues he has already provided millions, while St. Clair has accused him of acting like a “petulant man-child.”
Romulus, born in September 2024, is Musk’s 13th child. St. Clair claims Musk skipped the birth and has only seen his son a few times.
She also used the podcast to poke fun at Musk’s protégé, Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, 19, who was 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 say two teens have been arrested, while one suspect is still wanted. Former President Donald Trump has since cited the incident to justify deploying the National Guard in D.C., claiming Coristine was “very badly hurt” and “lucky to be alive.
