Elon Musk’s Ex Ashley St. Clair claims she ‘rejected $40m deal not to appear in documentary’
Ashley St. Clair said she wanted to speak truthfully on camera and set an example for her children after rejecting the offer.
- On Tuesday at the Venice Film Festival, Ashley St. Clair revealed she rejected an alleged $40 million nondisclosure agreement to participate in Alex Gibney's new documentary 'Musk,' examining billionaire Elon Musk's influence.
- After receiving the offer from Musk's wealth manager, St. Clair decided financial comfort should not outweigh speaking truth, aiming to set an example for her children by refusing the payout.
- Premiering at the festival's 83rd edition, the 232-minute film examines Musk's influence and power. Gibney describes him as 'very dangerous,' though Musk declined to participate and called the film a 'hit piece.'
- St. Clair also reflected on her past as a right-wing commentator after meeting Charlie Kirk at 18, now regretting those positions and hoping speaking out helps counter them.
- Separately, St. Clair is suing Musk's AI company xAI, alleging its Grok chatbot generated nonconsensual sexual deepfakes of her as the documentary prepares for an October 16 U.S. theatrical release.
