Former MAGA Ashley St. Clair Exposes ‘Paid,’ Coordinated Messages from Right-Wing Influencers
Ex-MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair accused other prominent Trump supporters online of being “paid” to participate in coordinated messaging. She connected the recent surge of pro-Trump ballroom posts online to this supposed paid campaign.
She posted on TikTok, “Last week, I told you guys that all of MAGA is paid, and they coordinate their messaging in lock-step via group chats.”
St. Clair gestured to a wall of tweets, which were all messages in support of the Trump ballroom. These tweets came out after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where a shooter infiltrated the event. The shooter had the intention of assassinating Trump.
“What do you know? All of these people came to the conclusion that after they saw what happened at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, their first thought was to all independently [say], ‘Trump needs his ballroom.'”
St. Clair also thought the statistical likelihood of all these coordinated messages is “not probable.” With what proof? The ex-MAGA influencer didn’t give any, but St. Clair wouldn’t be the first to point out the bizarre nature of the tweets. Other Trump critics also pointed out the sudden increase of social media users arguing for Trump’s fall. All of this is consistent with the administration’s stance. The president himself was arguing for the construction of his ballroom, citing his safety.

But St. Clair also brought up the use of group chats by administration pundits. She continued, “One of the main group chats in which they coordinate this messaging is literally called ‘Fight, Fight, Fight!’ after the attempt on Trump’s life in Butler.”
She added, “This has the official Trump War Room and members of the administration, including James Blair, and all your favorite MAGA influencers.” This appears to be insider information from Clair, who mingled with key MAGA players back in the day.
St. Clair joked that she would “show more” of the messages but could not do so. This is because she is currently fighting a $75,000 lawsuit brought to her by X. If these allegations are true, then it could explain why there has been an influx of posts regarding Trump’s ballroom.
Who is Ashley St. Clair?
Ashley St. Clair was once a well-known MAGA influencer who shares a child with Musk. She was popular for her pro-gun stance, as well as her crusade against transgender people. Notably, St. Clair rose to fame for authoring a children’s book, titled ‘Elephants Are Not Birds.’
The children’s book was a rebuke of transgender acceptance.
But St. Clair would later experience a fall from grace with MAGA after apologizing for her anti-trans activism. In 2026, Musk announced that he would seek full custody of their son after St. Clair apologized for her previous transphobic comments. They are currently locked in a custody battle.
After an offline break, St. Clair would later resurface online at TikTok to talk about her experiences as a former MAGA influencer.
Once a notable mouthpiece for the right, St. Clair has since expressed that she wants to make amends with the communities she disparaged. Although St. Clair alleged that after leaving the right, she was also paid to be a “paid TV spokesperson” for positions she already held. Nevertheless, she declined these opportunities as well.
The reformed MAGA influencer made it clear that she’s generally against paid political messaging. Nevertheless, her TikTok appears to be gaining a following. St. Clair now voluntarily speaks about her new views, as well as her previous experiences as a MAGA influencer.
