Racing superstar Danica Patrick has been off most people’s radars since she retired from NASCAR racing in 2018. But a recent post on X reveals what exactly she’s been up to—and it’s not what anyone would expect.

People are linking Trump’s recent campaign stunt to this new public health crisis

One user on X called attention to Patrick’s recent pivot while showing screenshots from her YouTube channel. These screenshots are disturbing thumbnails of some recent episodes of Patrick’s podcast Pretty Intense, in which she talks about aliens being real, climate change denial, reptilian shapeshifters, and her endorsement of Donald Trump for President.

Patrick’s Pretty Intense podcast features her interviewing a celebrity guest teach week o talk about a wide variety of subjects and find out “how best to play this game called life.” Notably, however, her podcast has taken a far-right slant as she’s gone to interview figureheads like Jordan Peterson, Charlie Kirk, and Elon Musk’s brother Kimbal Musk.

She’s taken to platforming a variety of questionable views, many of which have been focused on conspiracy theories and New Age spirituality. A mainstay of her podcast now is her adoption of pseudoscientific beliefs.

She has also, predictably, gone anti-trans, interviewing people who have gone on rants about “men becoming women” and the supposed dangers of low testosterone. This comes right after interviews about past life regression and “sex magic techniques.”

There’s no indication she’s changing course, either, especially with right-wing headlines talking about her endorsement of Trump. Her grifter area could be here for the foreseeable future.
