On Monday, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), addressed claims by Ashley St. Clair regarding their alleged child together. Musk stated he is uncertain if he is the father but is open to finding out and mentioned that no legal action was necessary to establish paternity. Despite the uncertainty, Musk said he has provided St. Clair with $2.5 million and committed to an additional $500,000 annually.

St. Clair, who asserts she shares a child with Musk, was recently spotted outside her Manhattan residence selling her Tesla vehicle valued at approximately $100,000. She indicated that the sale was to compensate for a purported $100,000 reduction in child support payments from Musk.

In a further comment on the situation, St. Clair took a shot at Tesla stock, remarking, “I’m not the only one cleaning up after Elon’s messes."

Shares of Tesla are down 34.47% year-to-date due in part to concerns about Musk’s involvement in DOGE and its negative impact on the brand.

Musk’s financial support to St. Clair, totaling $2.5 million with an ongoing $500,000 per year, is intended to aid in the upbringing of the child in question. The Tesla CEO’s response and St. Clair’s subsequent actions have brought personal aspects of Musk’s life into the public eye, intertwining with his professional endeavors as head of the electric vehicle giant.
