Elon Musk's former partners share personal accounts in new documentary
In the documentary ‘Musk’, directed by Alex Gibney, former partners of Elon Musk have shared insights into his personal life and approach to parenting.
Ashley St. Clair, the mother of one of Musk’s children, alleged that she was offered a financial arrangement totaling approximately $40.2 million to remain silent about their relationship. According to St. Clair, the proposed nondisclosure agreement included a $15 million lump sum and $100,000 monthly payments for 21 years. She stated she rejected the deal because the terms were unacceptable, particularly regarding her children. Musk has publicly denied these claims on X, stating she was never offered such an arrangement and has a history of making false claims.
Justine Wilson, Musk’s first wife, also appeared in the film, describing a feeling of being ‘interchangeable’ and noting that individuals close to Musk had referred to the mothers of his children as ‘the breeders’. Musk has criticized the documentary, labeling it a ‘hit piece’ and disparaging the filmmaker on social media.
