@thewrap: Mother to one of #ElonMusk's children, Ashley St. Clair says that she was offered $40 million to stay silent in Alex Gibney's documentary film, 'Musk.' "When you're offered something like that, it really causes a debate in your head about what your speech means and how valuable that is. And why did they want to offer me this amount of money to not speak?"

ECO > EGO :
40 million is .004% of a trillion. For normal people, this translates to the following: it’s $4 out of $100,000 - 40 cents out of $10,000 and 4 cents out of $1,000. Literallyyy a drop in the bucket. This is why extreme wealth inequality is SO DANGEROUS and LITERALLY ANTITHETICAL TO DEMOCRACY.

I think she’s gonna go down in history for helping expose just how manipulative this administration and musk are. One day people will study how they fooled half of america.

Not accepting 40 million is insanely strong. Life changing money and she’s choosing to stand up and expose the truth to the people, all while having a child to consider. Incredible.

Stop it. It didn’t go down like that. She wasn’t offer 40 million to not speak 🤦🏻‍♂️she’s lying. Here’s what happened to read it for yourself. She reportedly rejected a financial-support agreement worth roughly $40 million over its lifetime that contained substantial confidentiality provisions. It was for a home and support for his son, 🙄 until he turns 21. Now she’s twisted it into something that’s not true

That’s a lot of money to stay quiet. That means the truth is significant enough to take other measures. May my moral compass not be seduced by dollars. May those with a moral compass be safe from controlling tyrants. 🙏 💙

One reason why BAD PEOPLE shouldn't have so much money, they have enough money to suppress the TRUTH. Just buy other people's silence. It's called a BRIBE. It's also like selling your soul for money.

The only reason she didn’t take the $40m is because she wants more. Now she is publicly threatening to speak (most likely lies)

She has chosen decency. She is part of the 1% in the world, most would have taken the money.
