Story summary

Elon Musk drastically reduced the child support payments for his ex-partner Ashley St. Clair after she revealed they had a son together in February 2025. Initially, Musk paid $80,000 per month but slashed it to $40,000 when St. Clair refused to sign a nondisclosure agreement (NDA). After the public revelation of their child Romulus, Musk further reduced the payments to $20,000 monthly. St. Clair claims that she was contacted by other women who were approached by Musk for "sperm donation," including one in Japan. The reduction in support and Musk’s alleged behavior towards St. Clair highlight a contentious relationship post-revelation of their son.
