Elon Musk's personal life has come under new scrutiny after Ashley St Clair claimed in a TikTok video posted on 15 May that she agreed to have his baby largely for financial security. She told followers that the prospect of raising a child with Elon Musk without worrying about money was powerfully appealing.
St Clair, 27, was already a single mother before she began seeing Musk, 54, and had built an online profile as a MAGA aligned influencer. In the video, she described the strain of raising her first child alone and said the Tesla chief encouraged her to have more children, presenting his wealth as a buffer against an uncertain economy. Their son, Romulus, was born in September 2024, but she now says the relationship deteriorated once she became pregnant.
