• Ashley St. Clair launched her new podcast by admitting she is broke and facing eviction.

• Her financial feud with Musk resurfaces amid claims of millions in support and child custody disputes.

NEW YORK, N.Y. (TDR) — Ashley St. Clair, the mother of Elon Musk’s one-year-old son Romulus, launched her new podcast Monday with an announcement that stunned listeners: she is broke, facing eviction, and relying on sponsored ad reads to stay afloat.

A Podcast Born Out of Financial Strain

“Well, after a year of unplanned career suicide, many questionable life choices, and a gap in my LinkedIn profile that cannot legally be explained, I’ve decided to start a podcast,” St. Clair declared in the premiere episode of Bad Advice with Ashley St. Clair.

She added that unlike media figures such as Ben Shapiro or Megyn Kelly, her show was not an attempt to shape the national conversation but rather a candid admission that she had “the worst ideas.” The self-deprecating humor quickly gave way to an acknowledgment of her precarious finances: “Also, I’m getting evicted and Polymarket offered me $10,000 to do an ad read. So with that, the roof over my head has been brought to you by Polymarket.”

After running her sponsor segment, St. Clair launched into commentary on the bizarre headlines surrounding Musk’s DOGE ally, Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, who was recently assaulted in Washington, D.C..

“I have to start out with what everybody’s been waiting for me to talk about. The story that made the entire world go, ‘This can’t be real life, we must be living in a simulation.’ Elon Musk. Elon Musk’s Big Balls,” she said.

Coristine, according to police, was attacked by a group of ten individuals after intervening in a carjacking attempt. St. Clair mocked the incident: “They roughed him up, they gave him a bloody nose. The damage was on par with what I sustained after I told my toddler he couldn’t watch Paw Patrol.”

Her sharpest line came when she suggested Coristine should have simply allowed the thieves to take the car, quipping that the beating was so severe “some are calling it reparations.”

The podcast debut was also an indirect continuation of St. Clair’s ongoing financial battle with Musk. In March, after she sold a $100,000 Tesla gifted by Musk, the billionaire disclosed he had already given her $2.5 million and was providing $500,000 annually in support. “I don’t know if the child is mine or not,” Musk wrote on X. “Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year.”

St. Clair pushed back by labeling Musk a “petulant man-child” and accusing him of reducing payments after she spoke publicly. She further claimed that Musk initially offered her $15 million and $100,000 per month in child support in exchange for silence regarding their child.

Her disclosures revived broader scrutiny of Musk’s financial entanglements and relationships, raising questions about how one of the world’s richest men manages his private affairs.

Cultural Satire Wrapped in Chaos

For St. Clair, the podcast may serve as both survival strategy and platform for satire. By positioning herself against both her own mistakes and the public controversies of Musk’s orbit, she has carved out a niche as a chaotic, unfiltered voice.

Critics argue that her shtick risks normalizing dysfunction, while supporters see it as a refreshingly unvarnished perspective in a media landscape saturated by curated influencer brands. Her mockery of Coristine’s assault, in particular, is likely to draw backlash, given the serious nature of violent crime in urban America.

St. Clair seems unfazed. By launching Bad Advice with a mixture of personal collapse, political mockery, and dark humor, she signals that her brand will lean heavily on controversy and confessional storytelling.

Is St. Clair redefining modern podcasting as radical honesty, or simply exploiting scandal as a last-ditch survival tactic?
