Ashley St. Clair, a conservative commentator and social media influencer, is reportedly facing eviction from her $15,000-a-month New York apartment as her bitter legal dispute with billionaire Elon Musk continues to unfold.
St. Clair, 27, made the revelation during the launch of her new podcast “Bad Advice”, where she openly discussed her financial struggles.
“I’m getting evicted and Polymarket offered me $10,000 for an ad — a roof over my head furnished by Polymarket,” she said, highlighting the seriousness of her financial situation.
The Background of the Dispute
In September 2024, St. Clair gave birth to a son named Romulus, whom she says is Musk’s child. In February 2025, she went public with the claim, filing legal motions demanding a paternity test, custody rights, and financial support.
A court-ordered DNA test later confirmed with 99.9999% certainty that Musk is indeed the biological father.
According to legal filings and St. Clair’s statements:
Musk initially gave her $2.5 million in financial support.
He agreed to continue providing $500,000 annually in child support.
However, St. Clair says Musk reduced his payments after she went public with the dispute — from $100,000 per month to as little as $20,000.
St. Clair’s Struggles
The influencer describes the past year as “career suicide,” saying the publicity around her relationship with Musk has damaged her professional opportunities while leaving her burdened with high living costs.
She has relied on sponsorships, including the controversial crypto-betting platform Polymarket, to cover basic expenses. The threat of eviction underscores the growing pressure she faces as the legal battle drags on.
Musk’s Side
Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and father to 12 children from various relationships, has not publicly commented in detail on the eviction claims. His legal team has maintained that he has provided substantial support and continues to do so.
What Comes Next
The case is expected to return to court in the coming months as St. Clair pushes for higher support payments and greater custody rights. The drama has fueled intense public debate online, with critics divided over whether St. Clair is being unfairly treated or whether her financial troubles stem from unsustainable spending.
For now, St. Clair faces the prospect of losing her New York home — while one of the wealthiest men in the world remains at the center of the dispute.
