March 17, 2026 | 07:05PM ET Push Notification President Donald Trump’s powerful billionaire ally, X CEO Elon Musk, once impregnated a Trump fan and anti-transgender influencer named Ashley St. Clair. Now St. Clair is warning conservatives that the Trump movement is a “cult” which will “come for you next.” Speaking with gun control activist Cameron Kasky for the conservative website The Bulwark, St. Clair expressed regret for her past support of far right causes and urged accountability for conservatives who hurt other people. "What I've realized since leaving is that ignoring the issues these communities were raising — the ones the woke movement fixated on for a while — means those issues come back and affect all of us,” St. Clair told Kasky. “The way the trans community is scapegoated impacts women and everyone else as well. The way BLM was scapegoated and demonized — they were warning about many of the issues we're now facing with ICE. So I do think it's important to say: here's what I missed, and here's why we should listen to those individuals. Because if you don't, it's going to come for you next.” Several minutes later in the same conversation, St. Clair characterized the Trump movement as a “cult.” "It is a cult,” St. Clair said. “And what you have to understand is that in any abusive relationship, your access to other people is cut off. You're isolated. Your access to information is cut off. Your access to people who might have rational perspectives on what you're involved in — that's cut off too.” She added, “These people are told it's all fake news. The only things you can trust are Twitter and Truth Social. And for better or worse, they actually believe that. They believe that established outlets are lying to them, that nothing those outlets publish can be true." St. Clair is not alone among former Trump supporters who describe the movement they once backed as a cult. Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) said the same thing in February shortly before Trump invaded Iran. “And you don’t like when people call you a cult, Trump voters?” Walsh argued. “What else are people to think when you voted for Trump to get us the hell out of wars around the world, and instead he gets us involved in wars around the world and starts new wars, and you still sing his praises and support him? What are we to think, MAGA, but that you are a cult?” Walsh added, “You’ve got no argument against people calling you a cult. And if he takes us to war against Iran, and you clap and applaud and throw him flowers, Trump supporters, I will be at the front of the parade calling you a cult.”
