Get ready with me while I talk about the 2024 election and the satellites.

For those who don't know, my name is Ashley St. Claire. I was a MAGA influencer involved in MAGA politics for almost a decade. I know.

Also, a quick aside, everyone was telling me that my vitamin C oil serum is also oxidizing because I was just putting the dropper on my skin, so we're going to put it on my hands today because I am working on taking feedback and adjusting my behavior.

There is again a lot of discourse around, you know, let's -- we shouldn't rebrand Ashley, you know, she was involved in all this harm -- and I was. Um, and something that's very important for me to address is that these things happened to me, and I've said this many times before. The cruelty is happening to me because I ignored the cruelty and the pleas of others. There were many people, especially women, who spoke about the issues of single motherhood, of being involved in the court system, of being involved with powerful men, of being involved with men who have outsized influence and power that I ignored. I ignored these people. Not only did I ignore them, but I talked [ __ ] about them. I used their experiences as a political talking point, as a political counter, and to my own detriment, okay?

Uh, great book I recommend is Hood Feminism, which I will get to that and some of my other deconstruction and what led up to that later, but this is all tangentially related.

So, I know I'm going to be jumping around in the timeline a little bit, but I'm processing everything and talking about it in chunks. That's just easier for me.

So, the year is 2024. I'm pregnant. I get pregnant in January of 2024. And I start gaining weight because that's what happens. And so, immediately there are a lot of people speculating that I have a child with Elon because he is the most prominent person publicly associated with me at this point. So, Elon has never explicitly said or even really implied that this needs to be a secret, but I just am because I -- I don't want to deal with it. I -- This is -- That's a lot. But, there are a lot of people speculating. There are a few people in my life who are aware.

However, I made a very big mistake in telling one woman, who is referred to in other videos, especially my Real Housewives of Mar-a-Lago series, as Ozempic, because Ozempic uses this thing that is private and I want to keep under wraps as a means to social climb and for her to be like, "Oh, I know one of Elon Musk's baby mamas." And suddenly there's just many people who the only common denominator is this girl who knows. We will get to that more in depth when we talk about how this all came out in the public sphere.

But, what I want to focus on is the election. Okay, because this was the first time in my life and I -- I know I was publicly tweeting about MAGA and elections and Trump, but this was the first time that I felt like my actions had consequences. And I know that sounds insane, but I was very divorced from the reality and the consequences or the fallout of any of my rhetoric or MAGA influencing until we started getting closer to the election. I had never really -- I just didn't think my words and my involvement or any of my actions had any sort of -- [snorts] -- like real influence outside of mean tweets.

So, Elon uses Trump's assassination attempt in Butler to say that this is the catalyst for him supporting Trump even though he was already supporting Trump and working on his America PAC yadda yadda yadda.

Now, in September I put a dark black MAGA hat on Elon's head while he was at my house. This MAGA hat would become very well-known and known as dark MAGA, okay? I regret to inform everyone that I am responsible for dark MAGA and the cringe that ensued thereafter. Elon is meeting up with like friends, mutual friends we have, and he's like, "Oh, yeah, Ashley gave me this hat, whatever." And then he does this whole dark MAGA thing on stage with Trump very publicly.

And so simultaneously there are a few things going on. I have this big gigantic secret that I am having a child with the richest man in the world, and he is all over the news. And there is something just inherently dirty about keeping a secret even if it's not anything wrong, and I'm not -- There's just something that is psychologically fracturing about keeping a secret, okay? And so now I am being reminded of this secret every time I open my phone or I turn on the TV. And not only that, but now he's jumping around on stage with this gift I gave him. And I like genuinely do not even know how to explain like psychologically what this felt like. And he wanted me to see this because then he's sending me the tweets that are like "Elon wears a dark MAGA hat?" Like he's sending me these posts to show me like "Look, I'm wearing the thing you gave me."

So at this point I'm like I -- I'm starting to realize, um, that my actions now have like national and global impact because it wasn't just this dark MAGA hat. This dark MAGA hat was an item that was for sale through the Trump campaign. And so these sales rose astronomically. Astronomically. And so at this point I'm like "Oh my god, I am responsible for raising a whole lot of money for the Trump campaign." And prior to this, like the only thing I'm doing is like tweeting. So I didn't really -- I didn't have any large impact.

And so this started to [gasps] Like I'm publicly supporting Trump, but then I'm -- I -- I'm like privately grappling with this situation and I'm just really really uncomfortable. And then October rolls around. Um, And in October Elon tells me that he is ready to release his -- in his words -- anomaly in the matrix. And I am like "Oh, like what's that?" And he says that he has 10,000 lasers in space (referring to his satellites). I say, because I am like rather uncomfortable and I know the gravity of what he's trying to tell me right now, I say, "Wow, finally a focus on the Jewish vote." Uh he keeps going and he says, "You know, this is not something on -- This is not a piece that they'll see on the chessboard." And I -- I straight up tell him, I say, "I would ask more, but I really don't want to be deposed." To which he says, "Very wise."

Um shortly after that, you know, he's involved with America PAC and all of this other stuff and he's sending me some internal data from America PAC, real-time data vote metrics. And I am just like, "How the [ __ ] do you have this sort of data? You don't get this from door knocking." Because that was my first -- one of my first jobs in politics -- politics was in campaigns and and cleaning up this bad data from from door knocking because it, the uh, the vendors that America PAC is using at this point, um, is a vendor that hires Craigslist crackheads for door knocking, and I wish I was um exaggerating there, but I'm not.

I know like [gasps] I have caused harm with my rhetoric. However, I never like sought out to cause harm. Like there were parts of me that really wanted like the best for the country, for America, for democracy. And one thing is I have always always hated Big Tech. So, then to have arguably the most powerful man in the world who is sending me things about you know, using his space technology in the election.

Um I should also say that I have all of this backed up with many people with explicit instructions should anything happen to me, okay?

Um, but but this was something that I was internally wrestling with while publicly not really showing that I was having any of these internal ethical conflicts with myself regarding this information.

And then on election night itself, Elon, you know, left Mar-a-Lago early. I was at Mar-a-Lago when he told -- he told me -- he told me over text. He's like, "Yeah, I knew hours ago that that Trump won. My team has the best real-time data anywhere."

First of all, how the [ __ ] do you have real-time data on elections? How how do you have real-time data? Um I could not understand that. I don't know that I ever will. Um Oh. I uh I just I I saw some [ __ ] guys. Like I saw some [ __ ] and I'm fighting really hard to keep my voice because I saw [ __ ] that impacts everyone. And if I was self-interested, I -- I have been offered the self-interested deal to shut up and not talk about anything, but I -- What I can tell you is -- I -- I've not been offered certain deals just because I know that he's weird, okay? Um, I saw some [ __ ] And like talking about this just sounds crazy. Like I feel like I sound like a crazy person when I'm like, "Yeah, he told me about his space lasers and the election." Like this is -- what the [ __ ] -- The best I can do is talk about it now. Um despite the immense harassment and and intimidation of my family that has been going on. Um Yeah.

Anyhoo, there's a lot of questions about my eyeshadow and I never mentioned it um because it was a James Charles palette and I hate him and don't want to give him any money. So, today we're going to be using the Patrick Starr palette. Try to control, okay? I just, I don't know.

I don't know what's going to happen to me. Like I don't know if I'm going to get -- they're going to pull an Amber Heard, sue me for defamation. I don't know. Um all I know is -- I -- I can't -- I don't want this only in my head anymore. I don't want that burden anymore. Um and I just -- I -- I need it off of my head. I need other people who know about this because in my opinion it's um no good, very bad bears, okay? I don't even know if these videos will be allowed to stay up. I could get a court order tomorrow saying that I need to take them down. I have no idea, but what I'm going to do is uh get everything out there while I still retain the ability to to do so.

I care about my children more than anything in this world. I feel immense guilt for just putting them in this situation to begin with. But I want them to have a country. I want them to have access to democracy. I want everyone to have access to the democracy that we're supposed to and I am increasingly concerned about our lack of regulations and investigations into how technology is being used to -- to the work democracy. If you guys thought Cambridge Analytica was bad, okay, I -- it is my opinion that what is happening especially combined with the behavioral inference model of X and XAI, Twitter, that this is a million times worse than anything we saw with Cambridge Analytica and that's my opinion.

And I do have -- I have these messages. I have the documents and I've already provided them to someone who's working on a much larger project than just my testimony that hopefully will do some good with it in the coming months. Yeah.

And you know, there's there's been people saying like, oh, well, she's you know, he's not suing for defamation so she must be telling the truth. Anyone can sue you for defamation. Just cuz someone sued you for defamation like that should not the lawsuit itself and rich people do this all the time. Like the lawsuit itself they will use to say like, oh, see, like I have grounds. But that doesn't mean that I've said anything to -- Even if they do sue me for defamation, um which is a possibility. Like they could still do this just because they can have infinite resources. Um the bar of evidence is not just like a claim. You then have to prove the claim, which that would not go anywhere. I would never be um found liable of defamation, but it is a possibility. It's a possibility that government agencies could be weaponized because of the the connections in there. Um, I -- I -- have no idea. I -- I don't know.

It is scary and again, the best thing I can do is talk about what I know now because I feel immense guilt for even sitting on all of this as long as I have, but, but I've like -- I've been and I've tried to articulate -- I've been a very scared and broken individual for basically my entire adult life. Um and having kids makes you makes you ask the question. Like am I going to fight for something bigger? Like what what example am I going to be to my kids? And the other aspect is like do I talk about this publicly because, you know, any individuals involved could then clean up the mess if they know that I'm talking about it, but I don't know. I -- I'm just going to tell you guys right now, I don't know what the right thing to do is. So, I -- I'm just going to talk to the internet about it.

And if very resourceful people, people who have immense resources are going to have my family physically followed, physically harassed, and confronted -- people associated with my family, then I'm going to make sure your skin is under my fingernails.
