In the documentary Musk, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, Ashley St. Clair alleges that Elon Musk significantly reduced her monthly child support payments. St. Clair claims the billionaire slashed her support by $80,000 after she refused a multimillion-dollar nondisclosure agreement and publicly revealed their son, Romulus.
The $15 million NDA and the $100,000 monthly offer
St . Clair claims that her relationship with Musk was initially met with a massive financial incentive to remain silent. According to the documentary Musk, she was reportedly offered a $15 million lump sum alongside $100,000 in monthly child support.. The condition for this arrangement was the signing of a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) that would have kept their relationship and their son, Romulus St. Clair, a secret from the public.
St. clair ultimately declined the deal, stating she did not want her newborn son to grow up feeling like a hidden part of Musk's life. This refusal, she alleges, set the stage for a dramatic shift in how the billionaire handled his financial obligations to her and their child.
From $100,000 to $20,000: The alleged financial retaliation
The most striking claim in the report involves a massive reduction in monthly payments following St. clair's decision to go public. As reported in the documentary, Musk allegedly reduced the monthly child support from the original $100,000 to $40,000.
The financial pressure reportedly intensified after Romulus was born and St. Clair revealed his existence to the world. St. Clair claims the payments were further slashed to just $20,000 per month. This represents a total reduction of $80,000 from the initial amount she was promised, a move she characterizes as a direct consequence of her refusal to sign the NDA.
A 2023 romance sparked on X
The timeline of the relationship suggests a rapid progression facilitated by social media. St. Clair explains that her connection with Musk began in 2023 through interactions on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. She notes that Musk frequently responded to her posts, including a Mother's Day post where he suggested she should have more chilren.
St. Clair claims that during their time together, Musk expressed a desire for her to have a large family, at one point suggesting she should have as many as 10 children. This period of the relationship was described by St. Clair as amicable, with Musk presenting himself as a "good dad" before the birth of Romulus changed the dynamic.
The "legion of children" and unverified claims of other secret offspring
While the documentary focuses on St. Clair's experience, it also raises unverified questions about Musk's broader reproductive intentions and other potential children. St. Clair claims she was contacted by other women who were also in communication with Musk regarding children. One specific claim involves a woman in Japan who allegedly sought sperm donation from the billionaire, with St. Clair describing the messages in Musk's DMs as a "Gatling gun of sperm."
Several key details remain unconfirmed by independent sources or Musk's camp.. It is currently unknown if the alleged text message—in which Musk reportedly expressed a desire for a "legion of children" before a civil war—actually exists. Additionally, the documentary does not provide a rebuttal from Elon Musk regarding the specific $80,000 child support reduction or the claims of other secret children.
