Elon Musk has 13 kids, but it’s the one-year-old son with conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair that’s now front and center in a custody battle that’s got more plot twists than a CNN town hall. Musk took to X—his own platform—to announce he’s filing for full custody of their child after St. Clair went public with comments that Musk interpreted as opening the door to transitioning their toddler.
Yes, a one-year-old. Still in diapers. Still trying to figure out how to say “mama” and “dada.” But somehow, in the upside-down logic of gender activism, that’s apparently old enough for society to start talking about “identity.”
Musk didn’t mince words. “I will be filing for full custody today, given her statements implying she might transition a one-year-old boy,” he wrote on X.

Ashley St. Clair wasn’t always sending up rainbow smoke signals. She made a name for herself on the right, slamming woke culture and even writing a children’s book titled *Elephants Aren’t Birds*—a direct rebuke to the transgender ideology being pushed into storytime at your local library. But now, she’s doing an about-face that would make John Kerry blush.
She recently apologized on social media for her past comments about trans people. That alone might not spark a custody war, but when you’re the mother of a toddler and start cozying up to the same ideology that’s pushing puberty blockers on kids who can’t even reach the kitchen counter, alarm bells start ringing—and loud.
Musk’s decision follows a post from an X user who urged him to seek full custody. That’s when he dropped the hammer. And let’s be real: anyone who’s watched what this ideology does to children, families, and basic science knows exactly why.
Meanwhile, St. Clair’s version of damage control is launching a podcast called *Bad Advice,* which, judging by the first episode, is aptly named. She opens with a monologue about “unplanned career suicide,” questionable life choices, and a “gap in my LinkedIn profile that cannot be legally explained.” That’s not a red flag—it’s a five-alarm fire.
Oh, and she’s apparently getting evicted. The roof over her head, she says, is now thanks to a $10,000 ad deal with Polymarket. She jokes that her only other option was joining a multi-level marketing scheme. That might get chuckles on the podcast circuit, but it doesn’t exactly scream “stable home environment” for a one-year-old.
She even takes a swipe at mainstream conservative voices like Ben Shapiro and Megyn Kelly, claiming her show won’t be like theirs. Well, mission accomplished. Neither of them are being sued for custody by the world’s richest man while admitting they’re one ad deal away from homelessness.
This isn’t just celebrity drama—it’s a cultural flashpoint. We’ve got a father stepping in to protect his child from an ideology that’s infected schools, media, and now, apparently, even some former conservatives. And we’ve got a mother whose career and personal life are in freefall, suddenly pivoting to the same left-wing ideology she once mocked.
For years, the left has told us that children can choose their gender, that parents who object are bigots, and that the state knows better than Mom and Dad. Elon Musk just said: not my kid.
It’s a battle for the soul of parenting, and Musk is drawing the line. Good. Because if a billionaire tech genius can’t stop this madness from knocking on his front door, what chance does the average American family have?
Stay tuned. This isn’t over. Not by a long shot.
