Elon Musk Named in Bombshell Election Meddling Claim

Brandon Bell/Getty Images Elon Musk appeared unusually certain about the outcome of the 2024 presidential election before the results came in, according to a new documentary.

The bombshell claim comes from the mother of one of Elon Musk’s (many) children, Ashley St.

Clair, who alleged in a forthcoming documentary that the Tesla tycoon had a “degree of certainty” about the 2024 election results before they came in that “I had never seen before.” “He had told me [before the election] he was going to unleash the ‘anomaly in the matrix,’ ” St.

Clair says in championed documentarist Alex Gibney’s film, Musk, which was previewed by The Hollywood Reporter.

According to the outlet, the film shows a text exchange between Musk, 55, and St.

Clair, 28, onscreen, backing up her claims.

“I have ten thousand lasers in space,” the SpaceX founder allegedly wrote.

A spokesperson for SpaceX did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Beast.

In the documentary, an off-camera Gibney can be heard asking St.

Clair if Musk was referring to Starlink in their conversation, to which she replies, “I mean, I don’t know where else he has space lasers.” Musk made no secret of his involvement in the 2024 presidential election, funneling more than $290 million into Donald Trump’s last presidential campaign and hosting town halls in swing states.

He famously gave away a $1 million check to a rallygoer selected at random after they signed a petition to support a PAC he created.

However, questions about his obscure data-collecting efforts and the role he plans to take in forthcoming elections remain unclear.

In his documentary, Gibney hammers home that Musk’s brief stint at the helm of an army of twentysomething men known as the “DOGE” squad involved more than what was publicly known.

In addition to carelessly slashing federal government jobs and stripping USAID from countries around the world, the X owner gained access to the data of tens of millions of Americans.
