Ex-MAGA Influencer Spilling Tea About Elon Musk

Nobody could’ve expected a mother of one of Elon Musk’s children, a former MAGA influencer and woman currently in litigation with the businessman, to want to sit down with Don Lemon and air out Musk’s dirty laundry. But that’s exactly what former content creator and author Ashley St. Clair has done, and we’re going to catch you up to speed on what she had to say.

In a recent two-part interview with Lemon, St. Clair spoke about the reasons that she left MAGA, citing it to be cult-like, and expressed regret for the hateful ideologies she spread when she was a MAGA influencer. However, things got really juicy when St. Clair dropped shocking information about Elon Musk.

Speaking about her first impressions of Musk, St. Clair admitted, “I cared for him, you know, and I think like a lot of people, I wanted to believe in him. I wanted that version that he presents to be true. I wanted this larger-than-life figure who is doing something higher for humanity.”

St. Clair then noted that the person she hoped and thought the Tesla CEO to be is not at all what she saw when she got to know him. In fact, she described Musk to be “on the most diabolical pursuit of power, control and self-interest. And he does not care who he harms in the process.”

However, details of Musk’s personality are not the only things that St. Clair shined a light on. She also touched on Musk’s attempts to rile up hate against Lemon and allegedly allowed his business executives to share confidential contract negotiations that Lemon had with Musk to different MAGA influencers.

“[They] provided us [St. Clair and other MAGA influencers] confidential information about your contract negotiations with X, with Twitter because he wanted us to disseminate this and smear you,” she said.

As we previously told you, Don Lemon and Elon Musk have been at odds with each other ever since their interview together in March 2024. During their conversation, Lemon probed Musk on questions about immigration, his relationship with Donald Trump and even his ketamine prescription, which Musk did not appreciate.

After the interview went viral, the Tesla CEO was quick to end X’s podcast contract with Lemon, prompting the journalist to sue for negligent misrepresentation, defamation, retaliation, negligence, harassment, breach of contract, fraud and misappropriation of name and likeness, per The Root. The lawsuit is currently proceeding with his core contractual and financial claims.

Continuing, St. Clair alleged Musk and his operators will often use influencers to do his “dirty work” and smear those he doesn’t get along with. Entirely confident in what she said, St. Clair turned to the camera and encouraged Musk to sue her if she was lying.

But the biggest bombshell came when St. Clair claimed Musk may have influenced the 2024 presidential election, which pitted Donald Trump against Vice President Kamala Harris. St. Clair showed texts she claimed were between herself and Musk, and allowed Lemon to read out messages the businessman sent her.

“I’m feeling more optimistic. And tomorrow we unleash the anomaly in the matrix. This is not something on the chessboard, so they will be quite surprised,” the texts allegedly read.

Reacting to the information, viewers on TikTok wrote that they weren’t surprised in the comments.

“I knew that the same night! It has never been called so quickly,” commented one user.

“Elon told Folks he was the only reason Trump won,” added another.

Although Musk doesn’t explicitly mention the election results in his initial texts to St. Clair, his messages seem to indicate that he knew what the results would be long before the official votes were announced. St. Clair then read out more texts she received from Musk that she claims proved he had voting results before the rest of the country.

“He texted me and said, ‘I knew [the results] hours ago. My team has the best real-time data.’” When asked whether she knows if Musk really did something to rig votes, she added, “What I know is that afterwards he said that Trump wouldn’t have won without him and he had very precise numbers of what the outcome of the House would’ve been had he not intervened, had he not been involved.”

St. Clair’s conversation with Lemon ended with talk about the election results, but there are still many more juicy pieces of information to drop. The former MAGA influencer teased further texts between her and Musk, which is set to be released in Part 2.
