Ashley St. Clair rejects alleged $40 million NDA from Elon Musk

Ashley St. Clair says she rejected Elon Musk’s alleged $40M NDA to speak freely about their relationship and speak out

Ashley St. Clair says she rejected an alleged $40 million non-disclosure agreement offered by Elon Musk, saying she wanted to remain free to speak about their relationship.

St. Clair, who shares a son, Romulus, with Musk, discussed her decision during the Venice Film Festival on Tuesday. She said she declined the alleged NDA so she could participate in the documentary Musk, which explores the life and career of the Tesla and SpaceX CEO.

According to Variety, St. Clair told reporters that she wanted to set an example for her children by choosing the ability to speak openly over financial security.

The decision comes as St. Clair has continued to discuss her past relationship with Musk publicly. In June, she spoke about their relationship on Don Lemon’s podcast, saying Musk first contacted her through direct messages on X.

Their relationship later resulted in the birth of their son, Romulus. St. Clair and Musk have since become involved in an ongoing custody dispute.

St. Clair has also previously said that she never signed paperwork restricting what she could discuss about Musk. She claimed that some of her friends were required to sign documents before entering the billionaire’s home, although she said she did not sign an agreement herself.

The documentary Musk officially premiered at the Venice Film Festival on Tuesday, where St. Clair discussed her decision to participate.

Her comments add another public chapter to the complicated relationship between St. Clair and Musk, which has included discussions about their son and an ongoing custody battle.

The alleged $40 million NDA has not been independently detailed in the information provided, and St. Clair’s account represents her description of the offer and her decision to reject it
