Elon Musk’s ex says she turned down a $40M NDA — then her child support was cut to about $5M total. Was it all worth it?

Getty Images Ashley St. Clair says she was offered roughly $40 million to stay quiet about Elon Musk for good. She turned it down so she could tell her story. In Musk, Alex Gibney's nearly four-hour documentary, the 28-year-old author and former conservative influencer describes what saying no cost her. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival on Sept. 8 and expanded to theaters nationwide on Oct. 16, a day after Musk was in Texas showing off Tesla's new flying Roadster. St. Clair says the monthly child support she gets for their son, Romulus, now 2, fell to $20,000 — a fifth of the $100,000 a month she says Musk's team offered if she signed a nondisclosure agreement (NDA).
