St. Clair took to X to give her two cents on the ongoing drama between her child's father and Trump. Poking fun at the rift, she tweeted, "Hey @realDonaldTrump lmk if [you] need any breakup advice."

The influencer was revealed as Musk's fourth baby mama earlier this year after she gave birth to his 14th child, son Romulus. However, their co-parenting relationship debuted with social media drama.

St. Clair and Musk got into it after she was forced to announce their son's birth on X due to tabloid intervention. In a tweet, she alleged that she was "trying to communicate" with the billionaire but to no avail. She also accused him of ghosting.

However, the tech mogul refused to acknowledge her, resulting in the "Elephants Are Not Birds" author filing for sole custody. Amid the legal battle, Musk revealed on X that he pays St. Clair $500,000 per year for his son, despite not being sure of the paternity. He also alluded to her trapping him with the child.

The Influencer Is Praised For Her Witty Comeback

Given St. Clair has had a fair share of a public feud with Musk, her well-timed quip about Trump drew fans' attention. While some praised her for the hilarious comment, others slammed her for inserting herself in a bigger situation.

"Seems like Elon's recent baby mama wants to help with some revelations," one fan observed.

Another user penned, "No one more treacherous than a bitter baby momma that’s been waiting on your downfall," while a third fan praised the tweet as "the wittiest post of the day."

One critic, on the other hand, slammed, "D-mn, you’ll take any opportunity to milk your relationship with Elon, eh?"

Another added, "You need to be in a relationship and break up before you can give advice. Can't give advice on a man you never dated."

All seemed well in Musk's and Trump's camps until last week when the SpaceX founder announced his resignation from his White House role.

"As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending," he wrote.

However, despite the cordial message, Musk publicly attacked Trump's spending bill on social media just three days after his exit.

"I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it."

He further slammed the bill for undermining the efforts of DOGE, the department he previously led.

As expected, Trump didn't take the criticism lying down. In an Oval Office press conference on Thursday, June 5, he addressed the fallout caused by his "Big Beautiful Bill."

The president claimed Musk had always supported the bill until his personal interest no longer aligned. "He only developed the problem when he found out that we're going to have to cut the [electric vehicle] mandate, because that's billions and billions of dollars," Trump alleged.

As for the state of their friendship, the Republican world leader hinted that their bad blood might never end. "Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore," he added, per People Magazine.

Following Trump's response, his once-chummy buddy took to X to drop a major bombshell. Musk accused the president of being the "real reason" why the Jeffrey Epstein files have not yet been fully released.

The Starlink founder alleged that Trump was connected to the deceased sex offender and was listed among the high-profile names in the controversial Epstein files.

"Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files," Musk wrote. "That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT."

Although the billionaire didn't provide any proof for his claims, the internet has since been divided over the revelation.
