A former MAGA influencer and an Elon Musk baby mama just seemed to imply that Elon used satellites to interfere with and sway the 2024 presidential election. That has just blown up online.
And obviously there are tons of questions and skepticism surrounding it. So let's kind of break everything down.
So her name is Ashley St. Clair. And she used to be a major voice of the MAGA movement. She did work for Turning Point USA, and she got over a million Twitter followers posting about right wing politics. But now, she says she's moved away from that.
She considers herself ex MAGA and has spent the last several months exposing the behind the scenes of the movement, posting videos discussing her relationship with Elon, the women of Mar-A-Lago, saying that there are paid agitators on the right coordinating what to post and a lot more.
And yesterday she posted a get ready with me video discussing the 2024 election, which happened at a time when she was close to Elon. And she says 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, who'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.
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 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.
It appears after this, Elon gets involved with America PAC and starts sending her real time Delta vote metrics.
I am just like, how the fuck do you have this sort of data? You don't get this from door knocking.
She doesn't share any further details about the data, how it was acquired, anything like that. But she did note that she started to sort of have a crisis of faith, especially since she's 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, 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.
Then comes election night. She says she was at Mar-A-Lago. Elon leaves early and he told me, he told me over text. He's like, yeah, I knew hours ago that Trump won. My team has the best real time data anywhere.
First of all, how the fuck do you have real time data on elections? I saw some shit. And I'm fighting really hard to keep my voice because I saw shit that impacts everyone.
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 fuck? Right.
But with all this, she notably kind of stops the allegation there. She never fully says a sentence, “Elon rigged the election.” She also never says that satellites would have been used to interfere with votes.
But the heavy implication to many in her video is that somehow he did, or in less direct words, that she's suggesting that Elon did something to sway the results in Trump's favor.
Her words:
They're saying things. I am increasingly concerned about our lack of regulations and investigation into how technology is being used to interfere with democracy.
Ashley also claims that she has backups with many people with instructions in the event anything happens to her. Right. Kind of implying that she could be in danger for revealing this.
She also fears maybe being sued for defamation or other retaliation, that she was offered deals to stay silent, noting now that she's gone public that the people responsible could try to clean everything up before they get into any real trouble.
With all this, she said she opted to speak out because she just couldn't live with the burden, keeping this to herself.
I've been a very scared and broken individual for basically my entire adult life, and having kids makes you ask the question like, am I going to fight for something bigger? Like what example am I going to be to my kids?
And as you'd expect, there have been a lot of different responses to all this. Obviously left leaning groups especially latched onto this claim, Occupy Democrats sharing it and saying there should be a full investigation.
Others have also pointed to remarks that Trump and Elon have made in the past that they feel back up Ashley's claims.
Like back in June when Elon was sparring with Trump and said:
Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.
Well obviously that could refer to what he was doing on Twitter and the rallies and all the other strings that he was pulling. For a long time, people have kind of wondered if he meant something else also.
Others have noted that throughout 2024, both before and after the election, Elon frequently referred to so-called anomalies in the matrix, which is a phrase that Ashley claimed that he used when discussing satellites in the election.
And that includes one post that said:
Until about a month ago, early voting in 2024 favored the Dems even more than 2020. Leading Dems told me with extreme confidence that they would win Pennsylvania. They were certain. Then there were some anomalies in the matrix and now Republican early votes vastly exceed 2020.
Some have also shared this video of Elon on Tucker Carlson's election night stream, where they feel that his son is revealing potential secrets.
Should we help President Trump?
Yeah, well, you have SpaceX. It quietly just does whatever we want.
But never know.
As well as pointing to this clip of Trump talking about Elon:
He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers, those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania, like in a landslide. So it was pretty good. He's pretty good. So thank you to Elon.
Right. At the time, all these clips, they made some people wonder and speculate a little. But of course it was very conspiratorial to talk about that. So really nothing ever came of it.
Now Ashley St. Clair making these videos, people kind of circling back.
Of course, with all this, I think it's important to remember, you know, we are still in conspiratorial territory. Right now, the public does not have hard evidence here. And this is an enormous allegation, or at least implied allegation.
So while some, you know, they've said that she is very brave for speaking out, others saying we need an investigation, others of course are incredibly skeptical of her claims, with some saying that she's just making things up.
Others sincerely questioning how satellites could even be used to interfere with voting. Some just doubting her credibility for a number of reasons.
You have people noting she was a MAGA grifter before, but is now on the outs with them. So did she just decide to kind of switch teams and grift for the left?
People noting that because, you know, these election claims aside, she's gotten a ton of attention for pivoting away from MAGA, getting profiled in tons of major outlets, doing interviews with left leaning creators, discussing how hard it is to leave MAGA.
If you're to leave, you're not just changing your vote or your political opinion. You're blowing up your entire life. My social circles, my friends, my income, all of the above.
Also with all this, you had her previously telling the Washington Post that this is not lucrative for her, saying:
I have everything to lose and nothing to gain from speaking out about the most powerful people in the world.
So this whole situation, I'd really love to know your thoughts, whether it be the allegations themselves, what it appears she's kind of heavily implied regarding the election, as well as, you know, what are your opinions or trust levels in regards to kind of ex MAGA influencers?
That actually may get connected to a debate that we've seen kind of raging around online of who is in the coalition, who are you open to forming coalitions with in regards to going against the Trump administration, trying to stand up to that and vote against that.
And then there's more we got to dive into in just a minute.

But then diving right back into the news.
Experts are warning that Donald Trump's $1.8 billion anti weaponization slush fund might be one of the most corrupt acts in American history.
And that was also before Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was unable to assure lawmakers that payments will not be made to child molesters, cop beaters, GOP campaign donors and even Republican lawmakers.
The fact that I used to be President Trump's lawyer is just a fact, but I am the acting attorney general. So don't say the president's former personal lawyer will do something. The acting attorney general will do so.
Attorney General, you are acting today like the president's personal attorney. And that's the whole problem. You've got his whole — you have a whole banner of his face hanging over the Department of Justice, and you and everybody else walks under it.
This, as I briefly touched on yesterday, in January, a year into his second term of the presidency, Trump sued his own Treasury Department for $10 billion.
And he, along with his sons, alleged that the department failed to take necessary steps to prevent a former IRS employee from leaking their tax returns, even though that actually happened during his first term as president.
Thanks to those leaks, along with reporting from outlets like The New York Times and ProPublica, we learned about how little Trump and other billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos paid in taxes compared to their overall wealth.
With the guy who leaked Trump's tax records, along with those of thousands of others, still serving out a five year prison sentence.
And then as far as Trump, he struck this deal with his own Department of Justice to drop the lawsuit, along with two other cases that he had filed seeking hundreds of millions of dollars from the government.
In exchange, you had the Trump DOJ announcing its plan to create this so-called anti weaponization fund worth $1.776 billion, which of course is a nod to the year of the nation's founding.
And the fund's purpose is to pay off people who have been victims of weaponization by past DOJs.
But really, these so-called victims, they're expected to include prominent supporters of Donald Trump, former members of his staff and thousands of people who stormed the Capitol as part of the violent mob seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election, most of whom were already pardoned by Trump in one of his first acts of his second term.
And in fact, even before this announcement, several hundred Jan Sixers, they already filed claims seeking compensation.
And actually since Trump's return to the White House, the DOJ has already reportedly paid at least $8.5 million to settle legal claims brought by his allies who allege that they were improperly targeted by federal law enforcement.
So in March, for example, it settled a lawsuit with Michael Flynn for more than $1 million after he sued the FBI for $50 million.
And now you already have Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy, telling CNN that he expects to be compensated via the fund.
MyPillow is the most attacked company in history. My employees that own the company deserve to be made whole.
As far as, you know, who's going to get this money, all of that seemingly going to be handled with really no oversight and decided entirely outside of the normal processes for negotiating legal claims against the government.
The judge who agreed to dismiss Trump's case noted that his motion to do so did not reference any settlement or include a stipulation of dismissal.
In other words, the terms of this agreement, they weren't filed as part of the case's public court record, so no one really knows exactly what they are.
And even what the Trump administration is saying publicly is far from reassuring.
Where they say that the fund will be controlled by a group of five people who just so happen to be selected by Blanche, who is Trump's former personal criminal defense attorney.
Actually not only that, anyone that is appointed to this panel, they can be replaced by Trump at any time.
Also any payments, they would reportedly have to be made before December 2028, which is of course the end of Trump's term. And any remaining money has to be returned to the Treasury.
And while Trump and his family, they'll reportedly be barred from getting any of this money, the IRS has now also been barred from pursuing tax claims against Trump, his family or his businesses, including those currently pending.
That's according to a one page document signed by Blanche and quietly posted on the DOJ's website. Right. Separate from the nine page document posted yesterday that the department claimed explained the fund.
And altogether, this seems to be one of Trump's most brazen efforts to reward himself, his supporters and his allies.
You have the head of the nonprofit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington saying:
This is one of the single most corrupt acts in American history.
And with that, the announcement of this fund is notably coincided with the resignation of a top government lawyer by the name of Brian Morrissey.
He's stepping down from his role as the Treasury Department's general counsel only seven months after his confirmation in the Senate.
Now he hasn't publicly commented on his reasons for quitting. And his resignation letter, he reportedly said that he had been grateful to work for Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Also had a Treasury spokesperson saying in a statement that Morrissey had served the department with both honor and integrity and adding:
We wish him all the best in his next endeavors.
But still, despite all that, the timing of Morrissey's resignation, it does stand out.
That's because the Treasury Department is the one responsible for depositing the $1.776 billion into the anti weaponization fund.
It first has to approve what's known as the judgment fund, which is an uncapped pot of money that's available for the federal government to pay settlement claims without needing congressional approval.
And actually, with all this in testimony before the Senate subcommittee today, you had Blanche claiming that he didn't know why Morrissey resigned.
He also acknowledged that the so-called anti weaponization fund is unusual, but claimed that it wasn't unprecedented.
Right, with the DOJ likening the fund to a $760 million fund that was set up during the Obama administration to deal with claims of discrimination made by Native American farmers and ranchers.
Blanche also claimed that the settlements paid by the fund would not be limited to Trump supporters, or based solely on actions of the Biden administration.
He pledged to make public quarterly reports detailing any settlements that are paid, saying:
The claims that are awarded and the amount will surely be made public.
Though notably, the agreement establishing the fund reportedly says that records will remain confidential, leaving it all up to the Trump controlled panel overseeing the fund to decide what, if anything, to disclose about their processes for granting or denying claims.
That said though, Blanche openly admitted that Trump campaign donors wouldn't be excluded from seeking compensation. And he also suggested that Republican lawmakers whose telephone records were seized in 2023 by special counsel Jack Smith might receive money.
And also in some cases, he kept on insisting that he couldn't say for sure whether certain people would be disqualified, since it would be up to the panel. You know, the one whose members that he gets to decide.
Actually with that, besides what we showed earlier, he had this exchange with Senator Chris Van Hollen over the question of whether Jan. 6 rioters could have claims paid.
This is an outrageous, unprecedented slush fund that you set up. Simple question: will eligible individuals who assaulted Capitol Hill Police officers be eligible for this fund?
Well, as it makes plain—
I want, just let me know if they're eligible for the fund.
As was made plain yesterday, anybody in this country is eligible to apply if they believe they were a victim—
Mr. Attorney General, let me ask you this. Are there going to be rules that say that if you've assaulted a Capitol Hill police officer or committed a violent crime, you will not be eligible?
Why not make that a rule?
I expect that—
Well because I'm not one of the commissioners setting up the rules—
There are more of the five members, aren't you, Mr. Attorney General?
Pardon me?
You're appointing four of the five members.
I am appointing—
Van Hollen, he also took it further, asking about a specific rioter who has since been convicted on multiple child sex abuse charges.
There's also an individual who, after being pardoned by the president, went on to molest two children, and that person actually tried to buy the silence of these children by saying that he would pay them some of the funds that he was hoping to get from your slush fund.
Can you commit to making the rules so that that person is not eligible for a payout under this fund?
Well, you're obviously lying in your question, because there's no way that this person committed to that the slush fund, as you call it, which is not disbursed yet, but I can't commit—
Mr. Attorney General. Don't ever do that again.
I am reporting what he said.
He said on the expectation that he hoped to get some of the funds from a payout.
He's been using the term slush fund, Senator.
And Blanche is technically correct there, because while this guy did reportedly try to bribe one of his victims with money that he claimed he'd receive as part of the restitution for January 6 defendants, this did happen several months ago.
So yes, it seems unlikely that this creep was specifically referring to money from a fund that didn't exist yet.
But also like seriously, Todd?
I guess also his reaction shouldn't be all that surprising considering his handling of the Epstein files, which, of course, is an issue that also came up repeatedly today.
With Van Hollen, for example, Blanche claimed that he had met with survivors and their lawyers, but several had reportedly denied that.
Then he had this interaction with Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon.
I want to go on to the Epstein investigation. Is it closed or open?
When you say the Epstein investigation, what are you referring to, Senator?
Well, the FBI said last year in July that it had closed the Epstein investigation. So I'm just using their words. Is it open or closed?
I don't believe the FBI said that.
Well, I mean, if you're head of the Department of Justice, is the Epstein investigation open or closed?
I guess I don't understand what Epstein investigation means.
Well, let me put it this way. Jeffrey Epstein himself.
Yes. He's dead.
Any investigation into potential other bad guys will always be open if we have evidence that supports in any way, shape or form that we can make a case.
But of course, there are many who feel like there's already enough evidence to continue investigating.
And ultimately, all of this is sort of connected, at least in terms of what it says about the current Department of Justice.
Which is actually something you heard Rhode Island Senator Jack Reed hitting on with his time on the clock.
You know, this whole hearing, I think, is exposing something which is to me, very frightening. You're a very gifted lawyer, but from my perspective, you have very little faith to the Constitution and the people of America.
You're the president's classic glorified attorney.
Your perspective is completely wrong. So respectfully, I think the facts will prove me right.
Also, you know, while you have Trump and Blanche seemingly manipulating the levers of government to enrich friends and supporters, then have to talk about how Google and Blackstone are seemingly gunning for control of the puppet strings behind the AI industry.
The way also might not work as well as they're hoping, right?
So they just announced plans to create an artificial intelligence cloud company that will compete with the likes of Nvidia for control of the infrastructure behind AI.
And Google, they're reportedly providing the hardware with their new specialized chips. And Blackstone, they're providing the initial $5 billion in equity capital, making them the majority owner.
And according to the announcement, the plan is to have 500MW worth of computing capacity by 2027, which I guess just for scale, it's about the same electric power required to serve a mid-sized city.
And that's apparently just the beginning, with the announcement promising to substantially increase capacity over time.
So this deal, it is Google tossing down the gauntlet at Nvidia over the chips required to make AI function.
Right. Because even as demand for the computing power necessary to train and run advanced AI models has exploded, most major companies, they're just relying on computing infrastructure from CoreWeave, which uses Nvidia's chips.
But this new unnamed company, they're going to use Google's specialized chips, known as tensor processing units, or TPUs, in their data centers.
That part on top of the initial capital is where Blackstone comes in.
Right, because Blackstone's built itself as the largest global provider of data centers. In fact, they've been buying up data center operators for years.
You had their chairman and chief executive Stephen Schwarzman saying in a recent earnings call that the firm has more than $150 billion in data center assets, including sites under construction.
And then actually, there's also another $160 billion of potential new projects.
But, the real question is whether these new companies' data centers, or any of Blackstone's data center projects under construction or in the planning phases, are they ever going to actually get up and running?
Because despite the big headlines, many of the data centers planned for 2026, they've either been delayed or outright canceled.
In fact, according to Data Center Watch, more than $64 billion worth of data center projects have been blocked or delayed by a growing wave of local bipartisan opposition.
Because if you haven't seen, data centers have become a major flashpoint both nationally and on the local level.
There are at least 142 activist groups across 24 states organizing to block data center construction and expansion.
And some of the most common concerns you see are about higher utility bills, water consumption, noise, impact on property value and greenspace preservation.
In fact, according to a recent Gallup poll, 71% of Americans oppose data centers being built in their areas at all.
Not to mention the fact that the US power grid really isn't equipped to handle the type of power that the data centers demand.
Electricity supply in the United States is on track to fall short by 2028, with that gap only growing in the years after.
At least for right now, Elon Musk's solution of orbital data centers is a little closer to sci fi than reality.
But then also, on top of all that, there's the fact that AI itself has kind of a PR problem.
Right. It's really not a secret that AI is very unpopular in certain circles online and in real life.
In fact, another poll found that 80% of Americans are either very concerned or somewhat concerned about AI, and 55% think that AI will do more harm than good in everyday life.
It seems, at least at this point, that the unpopularity is just snowballing and it's happening fast. Some researchers say that they've never seen backlash intensify this quickly.
One consulting firm CEO predicted that there would be large scale protests against major AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic within a few months.
All of that, as you have executives within the industry saying that AI is just misunderstood.
Right. Chris Lehane, for example, OpenAI chief global affairs officer, said that:
Doomsayers who are only talking about the absolute worst case scenarios are fueling the flames of resentment against AI.
Saying:
If you're going to constantly, consistently talk about AI from a fear perspective, you are going to drive fear and doubt. We as an industry need to be a lot more calibrated in making the case as to why this is good for the country and good for the world.
Though that said, there are other executives within the industry taking, let's say, a less diplomatic approach, saying that those pushing back against AI are, quote, cave people who oppose all development.
You know, with all that I would love to know your take on the situation, whether it be about AI at large, data centers specifically or really anything that we've talked about.
And then there's more we're gonna dive into in just a minute.
But first, let me thank a sponsor and say, you know, there's a good chance that if your dog could read the ingredients label on some dog foods, they'd probably pack a tiny suitcase and file for emancipation.
Because a lot of what gets marketed as nutrition is really just brown mystery crunch with confidence.
That's why today's sponsor, Sundays for Dogs, it's real food for dogs made with human grade ingredients, real meat, organs and superfoods.

But then diving back into the news. Some more news you need to know.
A group of teens just had a full out brawl in a DC Chipotle. We're talking punching and chairs throwing. Little kids running for cover. I mean, it was chaos.
And we're not sure about the specifics of any arrests here. I mean, overall, there's been a rise in teen takeovers in cities like DC, Detroit, Atlanta and Chicago.
Where teens, they organize on social media to flood public spaces, sometimes just for the sake of gathering and other times just to cause chaos.
And to be clear, there does appear to be a risk here. Some of these takeovers, they've ended in violence.
And as things have gotten more dangerous, you have people like US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro saying that she's about to start charging parents of the kids involved.
Talking about everything from fines to six months behind bars, saying that it will send a clear message to the parents that you must supervise your kids or face criminal consequences.
There you've seen some people pushing back, saying that these issues should be handled on a local level.
Though also with that, you have people noting that the neighborhood that all this happened in already has a curfew for minors.
And actually they saw another takeover just a few days after this.
But still you had one official in the neighborhood where the Chipotle brawl happened arguing policing and putting people in jail is actually kind of how we got to where we're at.
Saying:
There's no one at home because they got locked up and thrown in jail.
Saying:
We're not going to police our way out of the situation.
Though really you should expect to see more of this in the news. Officials are already expecting to see a rise in takeovers this summer.
And so I guess at the very least we'll see how effective this plan is in the next few months.
Then another news, a much more troubling story.
Five people are dead, including one security guard and two other men who were shot at San Diego's largest mosque.
And those other two were the teenage gunmen who then took their own lives.
And the timing here, it stands out and many say is intentional because it happened on the first day of one of the holiest times in Islam.
And yesterday morning you had police getting a call from a mom about a runaway son, saying that she believed that he was suicidal and that several of her weapons were missing along with her car.
There, saying that her son was with a companion, and that they were dressed in tactical gear.
As you had police searching for that car, hoping to find her son in it, they started receiving calls about an active shooter at the Islamic Center of San Diego.
And from there, the chaos spread as they pulled up to the mosque and started clearing the building.
More calls came in reporting gunshots just a few blocks away, where reporters say that a landscaper was shot at but wasn't actually killed.
And then they were called to a third location in the area where they found the teenage suspects.
With the teen whose mom originally called the police also leaving a note behind, though there, the details haven't been revealed to the public.
And at least for now, you have investigators considering this a hate crime until proven otherwise, with Police Chief Scott Wahl saying:
There is definitely hate rhetoric that was involved.
There are reports saying that the words “hate speech” were written on one of the guns that they found with the suspects.
As for the response to all this, you had Wahl saying that this was every community's worst nightmare.
Anyway, the Council on American-Islamic Relations saying no one should ever fear for their safety while attending prayers or studying at an elementary school, encouraging everyone to keep the community in their prayers.
But then we get to our final story today.
And that is Trump just announced that he added another 600 prescriptions to the TrumpRx site, nearly seven times more than before.
Incorporating this massive catalog of low cost generics at TrumpRx.gov, consumers will now have one source to ensure that they're getting the lowest possible cost on their prescription medications.
And in some cases, the discounted generics available through TrumpRx may be offered at an even lower cash price than the out-of-pocket insurance cost.
They claimed that they're adding features to connect patients with the most affordable pharmacies in their area and options to get prescriptions mailed straight to their homes.
And according to Joe Gebbia, Trump's chief design officer and actually one of the co-founders of Airbnb, you'll be able to compare generic and brand name medication costs similarly to how you'd compare listing prices on Airbnb.
But then also, just like Airbnb has been criticized for now out pricing regular hotels, you have experts like Sean Sullivan, a professor of health economics and policy at the University of Washington, saying consumers can probably get cheaper versions of these medicines through insurance and their pharmacies, or via cash pay services like Cost Plus Drugs instead of using TrumpRx.
So for example, if you have Medicaid, unless you're using TrumpRx for something like weight loss drugs that aren't covered, the site isn't much help.
And notably, this is an area that everyone's kind of not happy about.
Polls show that only 16% of Americans were satisfied with their health care costs by the end of last year, which is a record low.
And as far as TrumpRx, since it launched in February, you had experts asking questions about the limited number of medications on the site, saying that it only helped a small group of people.
And now, even though this adds hundreds of more medications to the roster, experts are saying that they still aren't offering a real solution if you can just get what you need from other places for cheaper.
Which is why you have some experts saying that this is really more about optics and PR.
Why there's this growing question of whether TrumpRx actually fills in gaps, or it just overlaps with cheaper options that people already have access to.
But that, my friends, you beautiful bastards, brings us to the end of your Tuesday Philip DeFranco show.
Dive into the comments, let me know your thoughts.
Thank you for watching. I love yo faces and I'll see you right back here tomorrow.
