Ashley St. Clair, known as Elon Musk's baby mama, launched her new podcast by announcing she is broke and facing eviction while taking sharp jabs at a close associate of the billionaire.

As reported by Daily Mail Online, the 26-year-old conservative influencer debuted "Bad Advice with Ashley St. Clair" on Monday, explaining her decision stemmed from a year of career setbacks and questionable choices. She stated that starting the podcast was necessary for financial reasons, including a $10,000 ad deal from Polymarket to cover her housing costs.

St. Clair is currently in a custody fight with Musk over their nearly one-year-old son, Romulus, who was born in September 2024 and marks the Tesla CEO's 13th child. She publicly revealed Musk as the father on Valentine's Day via social media, citing concerns about tabloid media exposure and requesting privacy for the child's safety.

Podcast Launch Amid Financial Woes

In her podcast introduction, St. Clair humorously described her ideas as cautionary tales rather than profound insights, contrasting herself with figures like Ben Shapiro and Megyn Kelly. She attributed her financial desperation to a gap in her LinkedIn profile that she said cannot be legally explained, leading her to choose podcasting over a multi-level marketing scheme.

Musk reportedly offered St. Clair $15 million plus $100,000 monthly to keep the pregnancy quiet, but she opted to take him to court for custody instead. Following her legal action, her lawyers claimed Musk substantially reduced the financial support he had been providing.

St. Clair claimed in her petition for sole custody that Musk has only met their son three times and was not present at the birth. She further alleged that Musk has shown no interest in custody and that she alone has made decisions for the child.

Custody Dispute Details Emerge

According to St. Clair, she and Musk connected in St. Barts in the Caribbean in January of last year, where they had sex twice, resulting in the conception. She emphasized her intent to provide a normal environment for Romulus and urged the media to avoid invasive coverage.

Fellow MAGA influencer Isabella Moody shared messages allegedly from St. Clair in May 2023, where she expressed a desire for Musk's "rocket babies" after he followed her. Moody described these as evidence that St. Clair planned to baby trap the billionaire when they first met and began sleeping together.

A paternity test later confirmed a 99.99 percent chance that Musk is the father. In March, Musk stated he had provided St. Clair with $2.5 million and was sending $500,000 annually, despite initially doubting paternity.

Mockery of Associate's Attack

St. Clair used her podcast to mock Edward "Big Balls" Coristine, a 19-year-old protégé of Musk who works at the Department of Government Efficiency. Coristine was violently attacked on August 3 in Washington, D.C., while attempting to stop a carjacking, suffering a bloody nose, broken nose and concussion.

She began her commentary by calling the incident a headline-dominating story that felt like living in a simulation, referring to Coristine as Musk's DOGE crony. St. Clair questioned why Coristine did not simply let the suspects take the car, joking that the damage was comparable to injuries from denying a toddler TV time.

President Donald Trump responded to the attack by deploying the National Guard to the capital, describing Coristine as very badly hurt and beaten by thugs. Trump added that Coristine was left dripping in blood and thought he was dead, prompting a personal call from the president.

Ongoing Tensions and Future Implications

Ashley St. Clair, a 26-year-old influencer, is entangled in a custody battle with Elon Musk over their son Romulus, born in September 2024 after their brief encounter in St. Barts. The dispute escalated when she rejected Musk's alleged offer of $15 million and monthly payments to stay silent, choosing court action that led to reduced support and her current financial claims of being broke and evicted.

St. Clair's podcast debut on Monday highlighted her mockery of Edward Coristine, who was attacked in D.C. on August 3, which prompted Trump's National Guard deployment amid descriptions of severe injuries. Both sides present contrasting views, with St. Clair labeling Musk a petulant man-child for withdrawing support after her public statements, while Musk provided substantial funds despite initial paternity doubts.

Authorities arrested two 15-year-olds from Hyattsville, Maryland, in the carjacking attempt, with a third suspect—a black man in a grey shirt—still at large. The case may see further developments in custody proceedings and the ongoing search for the remaining suspect, potentially influencing public perceptions of the involved parties.
