Conservative influencer Ashley St Claire became the latest target of online mockery after calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “gold digger.”
Ashley, who made headlines with the bizarre claim of giving birth to Elon Musk’s 13th child, took to X to mock Zelenskyy, writing, “can u believe the nerve of this gold digger.”
However, instead of garnering support, her post backfired, with users calling her out for hypocrisy and flooding her replies with the very same insult.
‘How does it feel to be a walking meme?’ one wrote.
Another said, ‘Imagine tweeting this and being Ashely’
While others posted an edited image of the influencer with a baby, referring to her claims of being Musk’s alleged baby’s mother.
Many supported Zelenskyy, writing, ‘Zelensky is one of the greatest leaders of his time, particularly in terms of wartime leadership, resilience, and diplomacy.’
A user also reminded her of the time when she wrote ‘Kamala can’t help herself from bending over for a man to get ahead.’
Her comment comes amid reports that Zelenskyy rejected a proposal from the Trump administration that would have granted the US ownership of half of Ukraine’s critical mineral resources, graphite, lithium, and uranium, in exchange for military support.
According to The New York Times, Zelenskyy dismissed the deal, calling it too US centric, arguing that it lacked concrete security guarantees for Ukraine.
Despite criticism from a senior White House official who called the refusal “short-sighted,” Zelenskyy’s stance highlights Ukraine’s ongoing struggle for sovereignty in the face of Russian aggression. Since 2014, the US has provided roughly $69.2 billion in military aid to Ukraine, including nearly $66 billion since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.
