Elon Musk claims to have provided Ashley St. Clair with $2.5 million, unsure if her child is his, after she sold her Tesla and alleged a decrease in support. Musk publicly stated this on social media, mentioning that although he is uncertain about the child's paternity, he has offered financial assistance to St. Clair and will continue to do so annually. In response, St. Clair mentioned that she had requested a paternity test from Musk before the child was born but was denied. She also accused Musk of reducing support payments and attempting to control the situation. Their dispute escalated after she sold the Tesla he had gifted her, leading to public accusations and disagreements on social media. St. Clair claimed that Musk was using his influence to discredit her and suppress her voice in their paternity battle.
