I could be having Elon Musk's child if I played my cards right. Milo Yiannopoulos tweeted that Ashley, a 26-year-old, has been scheming for, quote, over half a decade to trap Elon into having a child with her. To which Elon responded, one word, whoa.

I haven't been around that long, but even when I was a kid, a story like this would have been the only thing that anyone in America talks about for months. Yet now it feels anodyne. Like, you probably haven't even heard about it.

In a time when some of the biggest brands associated with the new right are barstool and UFC fighting, and when half of the president's cabinet is actively fighting against their own sexual assault allegations, and... Of course, when the president himself is a decades-long serial cheater and sexual predator, this story broke, and it's kind of just like, you know, happy Valentine's Day.

I often make jokes online about the erosion of traditional conservative values within the party that's for decades branded itself as the party of traditional conservative values. But it's all starting to feel like that erosion is a feature, not a bug, of the party. And that's what I want to talk about in today's episode. To do that today, I have invited two friends and fellow podcasters.

Moira, before we started recording, you said that you have been following this Ashley St. Clair Elon new child debacle ravenously. Would you like to share any insights?

Yeah, when Elon made that sole contribution to the conversation around his, you know, alleged 13th child when he just wrote, whoa. Ashley St. Clair, did you guys see what she responded in a tweet? Maura saw this.

Okay, wait. Do a dramatic reading, please. Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded. When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old? Notably, after like, I don't even think a day. This tweet was deleted.

And so I think what you can infer from that was that there was some sort of back channel agreement between Elon Musk's team and whoever was representing Ashley St. Clair to have her take this down. Would you say that's probable?

Moira, what you said is true. She's tragic.
