Ashley St. Clair, the 26-year-old influencer, recently made a bold move by selling her Tesla Model S after her legal team accused Elon Musk of reducing child support for their son.

This action follows a legal dispute in which St. Clair filed for sole custody of their child in February. The Tesla sale is part of her efforts to compensate for the 60% cut in child support that Musk reportedly imposed after the custody battle began.

On February 14, the conservative influencer, Ashley St. Clair, publically admitted to having a five months baby with Tesla owner Elon Musk over an X post. Later that month, St. Clair filed a petition for sole custody with New York Supreme Court.

After that, Elon Musk retailed financially towards her and their son by cutting the child support by 60%. In response, St. Clair has been photograph by The Daily Mail handing over the keys of her car to try to compensate the money.

Musk’s attempt to gag St. Clair and St. Clair’s public statement

Musk’s legal team also sought to limit St. Clair’s ability to communicate about the dispute, a move that St. Clair strongly opposed.

Her attorneys pointed out the hypocrisy in Musk’s actions, given his public stance on freedom of speech and transparency. “Given that Mr. Musk is dedicated to transparency in government, it would be helpful if he administered his own life by the same principles,” they added.
