Elon Musk has announced his intent to file for full custody of his child with formerly (?) right-wing figurehead Ashley St. Clair, specifically citing her newfound support for the trans community.

Though St. Clair gained a following for herself as a right-wing influencer, she’s been turning a new leaf recently. On January 10, she posted “dark woke cause the other option is bootlicking feds + pedophiles + nerds” on X. June Sternbach, a prominent leftist podcaster and social media editor for The Onion, replied to that post, writing, “you’ve previously engaged in blatant transphobia, how do you feel about trans people in the wake of noticing how the far right truly is?”

St. Clair responded that she feels “immense guilt for my role,” including her potential role in causing “my son’s sister more pain,” referencing Vivian Jenna Wilson, who is out as trans and who has faced extensive public criticism from Musk. (Wilson has also spoken out about her estranged father many times.)

But Musk was against her transition from the beginning! Them goes on to write,

Her prediction — that it would “become right wing hysteria” ended up coming true. On January 11, the account @Anarseldain posted a screenshot of St. Clair’s exchange with Sternbach with the caption, “Elon needs full custody. Coming out in support of trans grooming like this is insane.”

Musk himself responded: “I will be filing for full custody today, given her statements implying she might transition a one-year-old boy.”

And sure enough, the transphobic Musk is saying that because of his trans daughter that his ex will make their one year old child also trans! That is how warped Musk thinking is and how deep his hatred is!

The Advocate reports,

"I feel immense guilt for my role. And even more guilt that things I have said in the past may have caused my son's sister more pain," St. Clair wrote, referencing Musk's daughter Vivian Wilson, who is trans. "Idrk how to make amends for many of these things but I have been trying incredibly hard privately to learn + advocate for those within the trans community that I've hurt."

St. Clair wrote a children's book in 2023 titled Elephants Are Not Birds about an elephant named Kevin who tries to become a bird at the urging of his friend, Culture the Vulture. The book states, “boys are not girls, and Elephants Are Not Birds.”

Musk and St. Clair were revealed to have a child together in February, around the time she sued him for full custody. St. Clair filed a custody petition and a paternity petition with the New York Supreme Court, claiming that Musk was not present at their son's birth and "has met him only three (3) times and has had no involvement in his care and upbringing." In March, she accused him of financially retaliating against her and the child in response to the petitions, noting that he had still refused to get a paternity test.

"I also haven’t said much on this bc I have gone back and forth over whether my voice would be helpful on the issue since it will be framed as disingenuous or just turning bc I’m 'scorned,'" St. Clair continued in her post Monday. "Even this reply will become right wing hysteria but yeah I am sorry. Let me know how I can help."

So now Musk is on the war path with all his billions behind him, does St. Clair have a chance against all his money?
