Ashley St. Clair, the mother of Elon Musk’s one-year-old son Romulus, launched a new podcast on Monday by announcing she was broke and in the process of “getting evicted,” despite allegedly receiving millions of dollars from the billionaire father of her child.
“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,” announced St. Clair in the first episode of her podcast Bad Advice with Ashley St. Clair:
After reading out an ad for her sponsor, she continued, “This is ‘Bad Advice with Ashley St. Clair,’ take it or leave it, probably leave it,” before weighing in on the violent attack against Musk’s DOGE protege Edward “Big Balls” Coristine.

“I have to start out with what everybody’s been waiting for me to talk about. The story that’s dominated the headlines, the one that made the entire world go, ‘This can’t be real life, we must be living in a simulation.’ Elon Musk. Elon Musk’s Big Balls,” said St. Clair. “Big Balls is the name of Elon Musk’s DOGE crony Edward Coristine, and recently he got beat up. He got attacked in Washington, D.C., and depending on who you ask, Big Balls was assaulted by a violent gang. In reality, it was two teenagers, but you know Fox News has a strict policy that any time there’s more than one black person or migrant in the same location, it’s automatically a gang. One is a criminal, two is a march, three is a cartel.”
Continuing to mock Coristine – who was actually assaulted by a group of approximately ten people, according to a police report, as he attempted to defend a woman from being carjacked – St. Clair remarked, “They roughed him up, they gave him a bloody nose. The damage was on par with what I sustained after I told my toddler he couldn’t watch Paw Patrol. It was brutal, violent stuff.”
She continued, “Two teenagers tried to steal a car, and instead of just letting them take it, Big Balls decided to intervene. He was with his girlfriend, or lady partner, whatever the Musk orbit calls their non-committal fluid breeding vessel contenders these days […] He got his ass beat so bad, some are calling it reparations. I’m not, of course. I would never do that. But what I don’t understand is why didn’t you just let them take the car?”
In March, after St. Clair sold a $100,000 Tesla, which had been gifted to her by Musk, the billionaire claimed he had given St. Clair $2.5 million and was currently sending her $500,000 a month.
“I don’t know if the child is mine or not,” wrote Musk. “Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year.”
St. Clair responded by calling Musk a “petulant man-child” and claiming he had “withdrew most of” his child support payments in response to her public statements.
According to St. Clair, Musk initially offered her $15 million and an additional $100,000 per month in child support in exchange for her staying quiet about their child.
