A former MAGA influencer and mother of one of Elon Musk's children has revealed alleged secrets about a right-wing group chat that coordinates talking points among influencers. Ashley St. Clair, who gained national attention after announcing she gave birth to a child allegedly fathered by Musk, made the accusation in a TikTok video posted Monday, following a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner over the weekend.
Accusations of Coordinated Messaging
In her video, St. Clair stated, "So, last week I told you guys that all of MAGA is paid and they coordinate their messaging in lock-step via group chat. And 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, all, independently, Trump needs his ballroom." She was referring to the wave of right-wing influencers on social media who cited the shooting as a reason why President Donald Trump's $400 million ballroom was necessary for security purposes.
Statistical Improbability
St. Clair argued, "If we are to stipulate that these people are not coordinated, the statistical likelihood of this happening, that they all came to the same conclusion. Not probable." She further claimed that one of the group chats used for this coordination is called "Fight Fight Fight!" after Trump's words following the 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pa. She stated that several Trump administration officials are in the group chat, including White House deputy chief of staff James Blair.
Trump's Ballroom Argument
Less than 24 hours after the shooting, Trump made the same argument for the ballroom. He wrote on Truth Social, "What happened last night is exactly the reason that our great Military, Secret Service, Law Enforcement and, for different reasons, every President for the last 150 years, have been DEMANDING that a large, safe, and secure Ballroom be built ON THE GROUNDS OF THE WHITE HOUSE. This event would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House."
Examples of Coordinated Posts
St. Clair's video included several posts from influencers echoing the ballroom talking point:

- "THIS IS WHY WE NEED TRUMP'S BALLROOM" — Libs of TikTok
- "I don't want to hear one more fucking criticism of Trump's new ballroom at the White House." — Meghan McCain
