Elon Musk claims Bill Gates and Reid Hoffman fear Trump win could expose links to Diddy and Epstein

Elon Musk has alleged that billionaires such as Bill Gates fear a Donald Trump victory, as it could result in the exposure of associates linked to Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Jeffrey Epstein.

The 50-year-old Tesla CEO made this unsubstantiated claim during an interview with Tucker Carlson on X, the social media platform Musk owns.

"I think part of why Kamala's getting so much support is that if Trump wins, that Epstein client list is gonna become public," Musk said.

"And some of those billionaires behind Kamala are terrified of that outcome."

Musk specifically named Microsoft founder Gates and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman as two of the billionaires supposedly concerned about the release of Epstein’s client list.

Both Gates and Hoffman are prominent donors to the Democratic Party.

"He's terrified of a Trump victory," Musk added about Hoffman, noting that they worked together on PayPal many years ago.

"He's certainly ideologically unaligned with Trump anyway, but I think he's actually concerned about the Epstein situation... that the DOJ might actually move forward."

When asked about possible video evidence of Epstein's criminal activities, Musk responded, "Between Diddy and Epstein, there is probably several thousand hours of footage here."

Musk expressed disbelief that January 6 rioters were prosecuted, while Epstein's associates have not faced consequences.

He further suggested there was a "strong overlap" between the Epstein client list and what he called Kamala's "100 puppet masters."

DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives of Gates and Hoffman for their response.

Gates has previously expressed "his deep regret for ever meeting with Epstein, who he met with for discussions regarding philanthropy only."

The New York Times reported that Gates formed a relationship with Epstein after the latter had been convicted of sex crimes.

It was reported that Gates and Epstein had several meetings starting in 2011. Gates reportedly visited Epstein’s New York City townhouse at least three times, according to The Times.

Hoffman, on the other hand, visited Epstein's private Caribbean Island after Epstein’s conviction for sex crimes, seeking the billionaire's assistance in raising funds for MIT.
