The conflict between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has sparked numerous reactions on social media, and among those who joined the conversation was Ashley St. Clair, Elon Musk’s ex-girlfriend.
St. Clair tweeted ironically at the former U.S. president:
“Hey @realDonaldTrump, hit me up if you need breakup advice,” referring to the increasingly tense relationship between Trump and Elon.
Specifically, tensions between Trump and Musk escalated after the Tesla and SpaceX CEO publicly criticized Trump’s budget proposal, claiming that the former president would have lost the election without his support.
“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Democrats would have taken control of the House, and Republicans would have had only a narrow majority in the Senate. Such ingratitude,” Musk wrote in a post that has since been deleted.
Continuing the discussion, Musk went even further with a serious accusation, stating that Trump’s name appears in still-unreleased documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
“This is the real reason they haven’t been released yet,” he claimed.
Connections between Trump and Epstein have previously been the subject of media reports, though the former president has claimed he distanced himself from the disgraced financier long before Epstein’s death in 2019.
Ashley St. Clair herself became a public figure after it was revealed that she had a son with Musk, named Romulus St. Clair. In April, she claimed to have refused Musk’s alleged offer of $15 million to keep the child’s existence a secret, along with an additional $100,000 per month until the child turned 21. She said she declined the terms because she didn’t want their child “to feel like a secret.”
