Elon Musk, who believes his “priceless genes” should be passed on to as many future generations as possible, already has 13 children from different women. However, his latest experience with fatherhood seems to be less than smooth. According to Page Six, Musk is questioning whether he is the father of the child his girlfriend, Ashley St. Clair, gave birth to six months ago. The billionaire recently posted on social media:
“I’m not sure if it’s my kid or not. But I wouldn’t mind finding out!”
Despite his doubts, Elon revealed that he has already voluntarily paid Ashley $2.5 million and plans to continue paying $250,000 each year.
However, the child’s mother sees the situation differently. She claims she offered to take a paternity test before the baby was born. Regarding the payments, Ashley pointed out that “he’s not paying me, he’s paying his son.” She also mentioned that Musk had cut his payments by 60%. To publicly expose this fact, Ashley staged an event with a reporter present, where she went to a car dealership to return her $100,000 car, saying she was forced to sell it to make ends meet after Musk reduced his financial support.
It’s worth noting that Elon cut back on his payments after Ashley filed a lawsuit, seeking full custody of the child. She justified her actions by claiming that Musk had not been involved in his son’s life and did not deserve to be considered his father. However, Elon’s followers have a different view. They believe Ashley was hoping for more attention from Musk and, feeling neglected, decided to get revenge by suing him and publicly shaming him.
