Elon Musk says he will file for full custody of child over mom’s transgender statement

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk said he would file for full custody of one of his children after the mother recently backtracked on her statements on the transgender community.

Ashley St. Clair, a former conservative influencer had a child with Musk about a year ago.

She wrote a children’s book a few years ago called “Elephants Are Not Birds” which tackles gender identity and explains that “boys are not girls, and Elephants Are Not Birds.”

One account asked St. Clair on X that she engaged in transphobia and and asked how she feels about her role in it.

“I feel immense guilt for my role,” she said in a lengthy response.

“And even more guilt that things I have said in the past may have caused my son’s sister more pain. 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.”

Musk has a transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson, who is 21. In the past, Musk said his child was “not a girl” and he was tricked into authorizing transgender treatments for the child when they she was 16.

St. Clair’s post concluded by saying she wanted help the transgender community.

After St. Clair’s post went viral, he said on Monday that he would be filing for full custody of their son.

“I will be filing for full custody today, given her statements implying she might transition a one-year-old boy,” he wrote on X.

This week, the Supreme Court is supposed to hear arguments from West Virginia and Idaho cases regarding transgender athletes competing in women’s sports.
