Ashley St. Clair shares when relationship with Elon Musk got ‘weird’

Ashley St. Clair divulged that her relationship with Elon Musk took an awkward turn after the Tesla CEO found out she was pregnant with their son.

“Get ready with me while I talk about when things started going south with Elon,” the former conservative influencer said in a TikTok video shared last week.

St. Clair noted that she and Musk began talking about having a child together during a getaway to St. Barts, and that prior to her pregnancy, they’d been “emotionally intimate.”

However, once she was expecting their child, things changed between them. “As soon as I’m pregnant, this is when things start getting weird,” she told her followers.

“There’s just things that are not adding up or that are different from what he previously said to me.”

St. Clair said no one was “going to believe her,” but insisted Musk was “so much more normal” before she got pregnant.

“It was [a] very normal conversation,” she continued. “His demeanor was normal. I know I’m going to get roasted for this, but in private, he was funny, but then it just got so f–king weird, man.”

Elsewhere in the upload, she also shared that she was “already a single mom” when she met the billionaire, having welcomed a son with a previous partner.

“The chances of me getting married and the white picket fence and the white dress, I believed that was out the window for me because I was already ‘stained’ as a single mom,” St. Clair, 27, said.

“But, I wanted nothing more than to be a mom. I wanted more kids.”

St. Clair called the experience of single parenting and “wondering if you’re going to be able to pay the bills for your kids” a “difficult” thing.

“So, when Elon was like, ‘You should have kids, my only limited resource is time,’ of course, it is appealing to do what I always wanted to…be a mom and not have to worry about the s–t going on in this economy.”

“I don’t think that’s a crazy position to take,” she added. “It’s more like, ‘My kids are always going to be taken care of.’”

A rep for Musk did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

St. Clair revealed in February 2025 that she secretly welcomed their child five months earlier, later revealing his name to be Romulus.

Musk previously welcomed son Nevada Alexander with ex-wife Justine Wilson in 2002, but the infant died at just 10 weeks old. They also share twins Griffin and Vivian, as well as triplets Saxon, Kai and Damian.

In May 2020, singer Grimes gave birth to their son, X AE A-XII, and in March 2022, the songstress — whose given name is Claire Boucher — revealed to Vanity Fair that she and Musk welcomed daughter Exa Dark Sideræl Musk via surrogate in December 2021.

News emerged in September 2023 that they welcomed their third child, Techno Mechanicus, said to have arrived around June 2022.

Meanwhile, the Space-X founder also welcomed twins Strider and Azure with Neuralink director of operations and special projects Shivon Zilis in November 2021 — they welcomed a third child together sometime in early 2024.

St. Clair and Musk are seemingly not on good terms — in January 2026, the tech magnate threatened to sue for custody of their son, though the social media star had already sued for sole custody of Romulus in February 2025.

The threat came after St. Clair apologized via social media for what she called her own past “blatant transphobia.”

“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,” she tweeted in part, referring to the Tesla founder’s trans daughter Vivian Wilson.

She added, “[I don’t really know] 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.”

Musk responded via X at the time, “I will be filing for full custody today, given her statements implying she might transition a one-year-old boy.”

St. Clair later told CNN anchor Erin Burnett, “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.”
