Fast Politics with Molly Jong-Fast16 Syys

Why Elon Musk Is Provoking A CIVIL WAR w/ Ashley St. Clair

Ashley St. Clair describes her journey from getting involved in conservative politics at 18 through Turning Point and MAGA culture, becoming an influencer, and eventually publicly breaking away after seeing what she says was misogyny, manipulation, and coordinated messaging from the right. She says she was offered a $40 million NDA to stay silent, but chose to speak out to set an example for her children and to use her free speech, even though she knew it would make her “public enemy number one” on the right. In the interview, she also argues that Elon Musk deliberately stokes division, manipulates Twitter’s algorithm in his favor, and is interested in data and control, while describing the broader conservative messaging machine as a mix of paid campaigns, group chats, retweet-driven validation, dossiers, and cruelty that kept people in line and pushed coordinated narratives.
