Elon Musk’s personal and political drama just got a spicy twist! On June 6, 2025, conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, who shares a child with the Tesla mogul, took a bold swing at their strained relationship by offering “breakup advice” to President Donald Trump on X. Her cheeky post,
“hey @realDonaldTrump Imk if u need any breakup advice,”
went viral, racking up attention as it poked fun at the explosive feud between Trump and Musk that erupted just a day earlier.
St. Clair, a 26-year-old author and social media star with over 1.1 million followers on X, welcomed a son named Romulus with Musk in September 2024. Their relationship has been anything but smooth, marked by public spats and a heated custody battle.
Reports reveal Musk initially offered St. Clair $15 million to keep quiet about their child, but she went public, sparking a legal showdown. She filed for sole custody and requested a paternity test, which confirmed Musk as the father with near-certain probability. Their ongoing disputes, including Musk allegedly cutting her monthly support from $100,000 to $40,000, paint a picture of a rocky dynamic that St. Clair cleverly referenced in her viral jab at Trump.
The backdrop to St. Clair’s post is the dramatic clash between Trump and Musk, which kicked off on June 5, 2025. Musk slammed a massive Congressional spending bill, calling it a “disgusting abomination” that clashed with Trump’s agenda. The president fired back, threatening to slash government contracts with Musk’s companies like SpaceX and Tesla. Things got personal fast, with Musk hitting Trump with wild claims, including suggestions of ties to Jeffrey Epstein and calls for his impeachment. The fallout was brutal—Tesla’s stock plummeted 14.3% in a single day, wiping out $150 billion in market value. Trump, visibly stung, admitted in the Oval Office,
“I don’t know if we will have a great relationship anymore.”
St. Clair’s X post tapped into this chaos, using her own fallout with Musk to throw shade while aligning herself with the political drama. Fans and critics on X lit up, with some cheering her wit and others slamming her for stirring the pot. Just hours after Musk and Trump’s online brawl, the post’s timing made it a perfect storm for viral attention. It also highlighted St. Clair’s knack for staying relevant, leveraging her high-profile connection to Musk to weigh in on a national controversy.
What’s next for this tangled web? The Trump-Musk feud could hit Musk’s businesses hard if Trump follows through on his threats to cut contracts. Politically, it risks fracturing Musk’s ties with the Republican base, where he’s been a major player. For St. Clair, her jab keeps her in the spotlight but also underscores the messy personal stakes in her battle with Musk.
