The recent lawsuit filed by Ashley St. Clair against Elon Musk has raised eyebrows due to the timing of the legal action. Just four days prior, Musk had announced his intentions to seek sole custody of their son, Romulus. This decision came after St. Clair made comments in support of the transgender community, leading Musk to believe that she was considering transitioning their one-year-old son.

In a statement released via X, Musk, 54, declared, “I will be filing for full custody today, given her statements implying she might transition a one-year-old boy.” The revelation came following an Instagram conversation where a user pointed out a change in St. Clair’s stance towards the transgender community, suggesting a shift from previous accusations of transphobia.

During the discussion, St. Clair was asked about her feelings towards trans people in light of recent events. In response, she expressed remorse for her past actions and the potential impact they may have had on her son’s sister, Vivian Wilson, Musk’s 21-year-old transgender daughter.

St. Clair admitted, “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.” She went on to share her efforts to educate herself and advocate for the trans community, acknowledging the need for reconciliation and support for trans rights.
