Elon Musk announced on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday, January 12, that he intends to seek full custody of his 1-year-old son, Romulus, from conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair. This decision follows St. Clair's recent social media posts expressing remorse for past transphobic remarks and stating her efforts to learn and advocate for the transgender community, which she believes may have caused pain to Musk's transgender daughter. Musk's filing for custody was prompted by St. Clair's statements, which he interpreted as implying a desire to transition their son, though the article notes it is unclear if St. Clair has expressed such intentions, and gender-affirming care typically occurs much later in life. This dispute is the latest in a series of public exchanges between the parents regarding their child.
