NEW YORK, February 21, 2025 — Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair has filed a lawsuit against tech billionaire Elon Musk, seeking sole legal custody of their five-month-old son and requesting a paternity test to legally establish Musk as the father.
The petition was submitted in the New York Supreme Court, marking a significant legal move in a high-profile case surrounding celebrity parenthood.
St. Clair claims that she and Musk began their romantic relationship in May 2023 and conceived their child during a trip to St. Barts in January 2024.
She alleges that since the child’s birth in September 2024, Musk has only met him three times and has had minimal involvement in his life.
According to court documents, St. Clair is the primary caregiver, stating, “I am, and always have been, the only parent and caretaker that R.S.C. has known.”
Details of the Lawsuit
In her filing, St. Clair asserts that Musk has not publicly acknowledged his paternity and has not requested to see or receive updates about their son. She included text messages in the petition that allegedly show Musk acknowledging their relationship and parenthood.
One message reportedly stated, “I look forward to seeing you and him this weekend,” while another indicated Musk’s desire to have more children with her.
The lawsuit also requests that the court compel Musk to take a genetic test to confirm his paternity, as he is not listed on the child’s birth certificate due to security concerns raised by St. Clair.
She emphasized that she did not engage in sexual relations with any other man during the time of conception.
St. Clair’s representative noted that she attempted to resolve these matters privately with Musk but received no response from his legal team. The petition seeks not only custody but also legal recognition of Musk as the child’s father without requesting child support at this time.
The case has garnered significant media attention due to Musk’s status as one of the world’s most influential figures.
As discussions unfold regarding custody and parental rights, this lawsuit highlights the complexities surrounding celebrity relationships and parenting responsibilities.
Musk has not publicly commented on the lawsuit but has previously responded to social media posts regarding St. Clair’s claims, suggesting skepticism about her intentions.
The outcome of this case could set important precedents regarding paternity acknowledgment in similar high-profile situations.
As this legal battle progresses, it raises questions about the responsibilities of public figures towards their children and how such disputes are resolved within the judicial system.
The implications for both parties involved are profound, particularly for the well-being of their child.
