Elon Musk’s “baby mama” Ashley St. Clair laughs awkwardly as she recalls how “interesting” and “intoxicating” he once felt to her younger self. TIM MILLER: “He’s tweeting all night. He’s very manic. He has 13 children… What is it like to be in his orbit?” ST. CLAIR: “When I first met him, I thought he was very interesting. Especially, I was 23, 24 at the time. And guys my age are not talking about philosophy or Schopenhauer or the Greeks.” MILLER: “He’s talking about Schopenhauer?!” ST. CLAIR: “Yes, to a degree.” “So finding someone who could speak about something, and at the time, you think this individual is a part of something so much bigger than themselves, and they’re ‘fighting the good fight.’” “That’s very intoxicating to a young girl who does not have a fully developed prefrontal cortex at the time.” [laughs awkwardly] “So I think there’s been a difference in my view since I’ve developed that.” [laughs again]
