Tesla business mogul Elon Musk is seeking custody of his 1-year-old son, Romulus, with conservative influencer and author Ashley St. Clair following her post on social media supporting the transgender community.
Musk declared his intention on his social media platform X, formerly Twitter, on Monday, Jan. 12, after St. Clair responded to a comment on her own X account a day before about her past actions of apparent transphobia. The comment asked St. Clair her stance on the transgender community and said she "previously engaged in blatant transphobia."
St. Clair responded that she's sorry for her past words and has opted to not speak on the transgender community because she's "gone back and forth over whether (her) voice would be helpful on the issue since it will be framed as disingenuous."
"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," St. Clair wrote in a post on X, seemingly referring to Musk's transgender daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson. "(I don't really know) how to make amends for many of these things but I have been trying incredibly hard privately to learn (and) advocate for those within the trans community that I’ve hurt."
