Ashley St. Clair, the 27-year-old influencer locked in a custody dispute with Elon Musk over their son, has said she found the billionaire 'intoxicating' when they first met in 2023, attributing her attraction to not having a fully developed prefrontal cortex at the time.
St. Clair made the remarks during an appearance on The Bulwark Podcast with Tim Miller on 17 March. She said Musk had drawn her in with discussions about Schopenhauer and his vision for the future of humanity, and that she was 24 at the time. The prefrontal cortex, which governs decision-making and impulse control, is generally understood to finish developing around age 25.
