From Musk’s Orbit to Eviction Notices
If there’s one thing America loves, it’s a messy celebrity scandal — and the Elon Musk orbit has become a nonstop soap opera. The latest star in the Musk-adjacent drama is Ashley St. Clair, who earlier this year claimed that Musk fathered her one-year-old son, Romulus.
Now, St. Clair says she’s broke, getting evicted, and embarking on a career pivot that feels just a little too on-the-nose: starting a podcast.
“Well, after a year of unplanned career suicide, many questionable life choices, and a gap in my LinkedIn profile that cannot legally be explained, I’ve decided to start a podcast,” she quipped, in a self-aware announcement that might as well have been written for Saturday Night Live.
The podcast, titled Bad Advice with Ashley St. Clair, premiered on Musk’s own X platform, naturally. Because if you’re going to air your messy life in public, you might as well do it on your maybe-baby-daddy’s app.
The Custody Bombshell
St. Clair’s latest revelation isn’t just about her podcast hustle. It’s tied to a much bigger, messier story: her custody dispute with Elon Musk.
Back in February, St. Clair went public with the claim that Musk was the father of Romulus. While Musk has played coy about the whole situation, a reported lab test placed the “Probability of Paternity” at a near-comical 99.9999%.
For a man who has practically turned procreation into a side hustle, the news didn’t exactly shock. Musk has openly bragged about his growing brood and his pro-natalist mission to repopulate the world one oddly named child at a time.
Still, the alleged father of 14 has not exactly embraced St. Clair into the family fold. Instead, their relationship has reportedly spiraled into financial negotiations, leaked text messages, and, now, an eviction story fit for TMZ.
“I’m Broke” — With a Musk-Sized Asterisk
Despite saying she’s broke, St. Clair has reportedly received major financial support from Musk. In April, Musk admitted he had already given her $2.5 million and promised $500,000 a year in ongoing support.
That’s the kind of “broke” most Americans would happily take off Musk’s hands. But St. Clair insists the money hasn’t solved her problems. Her life, she says, has been consumed by chaos: legal battles, canceled career opportunities, and the kind of public scrutiny that makes LinkedIn updates feel like war crimes.
Her eviction saga is just the latest chapter in a year that she herself called “unplanned career suicide.”

A Podcast as a Lifeline
In today’s media ecosystem, if you can’t get a Netflix docuseries, you start a podcast.
St. Clair’s Bad Advice is pitched as a mix of unfiltered commentary and offbeat cultural critique. In her first episode, she addressed a bizarre Washington, D.C., incident involving 19-year-old DOGE staffer Edward Coristine, aka “Big Balls.”
Coristine was allegedly assaulted by a group of teens near the White House after trying to stop a car theft. St. Clair’s take? Pure chaos.
“Two teenagers tried to steal a car, and instead of just letting them take it, Big Balls decided to intervene,” she said. “He got his ass beat so bad, some are calling it reparations. I’m not, of course. I would never do that.”
It was part comedy roast, part cultural rant, and part trial balloon to see if scandal could be turned into sponsorships. (She claims prediction market Polymarket offered her $10,000 for an ad read.)
The Musk Baby Boom
Of course, none of this can be separated from Musk’s ever-expanding family tree.
Let’s break it down:
-
With Justine Wilson (his first wife, married 2000–2008): Six children, including twins and triplets.
-
With Grimes: X Æ A-Xii (a.k.a. Lil X), Exa Dark Sideræl, and Tau Techno Mechanicus.
-
With Shivon Zilis (Neuralink executive): Twins Strider and Azure, plus Arcadia and Seldon Lycurgus.
-
With Ashley St. Clair: Allegedly Romulus, pending custody resolution.
That’s 14 children across three women — plus an alleged open invitation to anyone interested in joining Musk’s “population growth” mission.
It’s the kind of modern dynasty that makes the Kennedys look quaint.
Grimes, Privacy, and Public Parades
If St. Clair thought Musk would keep Romulus out of the spotlight, she hasn’t been paying attention.
Just last spring, Musk was criticized by Grimes after parading their son Lil X around the Oval Office. She publicly begged Musk not to post their child online, only for him to double down on his family-as-brand strategy.
St. Clair reportedly told Musk’s fixer, Jared Birchall, that she didn’t want her son to feel like a secret. But in Musk’s world, secrets don’t last long — they turn into headlines.
Billionaire Baby Daddy Drama
Musk has framed his sprawling family as a noble cause: fighting population collapse. But for the women in his orbit, the narrative has been far less tidy.
From Justine Wilson’s tell-all essays to Grimes’s online meltdowns, and now Ashley St. Clair’s eviction podcast era, the Musk family drama is looking less like a pro-natalist movement and more like a messy reality show waiting to happen.
If HBO ever runs out of Succession spin-offs, they might want to give Musk a call.
What’s Next for Ashley St. Clair?
For now, St. Clair is banking on her podcast as both a financial lifeline and a way to reclaim her narrative.
Is it a rebrand? A cry for help? Or just the natural next step in the Musk cinematic universe? Probably all three.
What’s certain is that the story isn’t going away. With Musk, every private squabble becomes a public spectacle. And for Ashley St. Clair, that means her eviction notice may just be the beginning of her second act.
