In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk claimed that prominent billionaires like Reid Hoffman and Bill Gates are supporting Kamala Harris to prevent the potential release of a client list associated with Jeffrey Epstein, should Donald Trump return to the presidency. Musk’s comments have sparked significant online debate due to the serious implications of such a revelation.

During the interview, Musk stated, “I think part of why Kamala is getting so much support is that if Trump wins, that client list is going to become public. Some of those billionaires backing Kamala are terrified of that outcome.” Carlson quickly asked if Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn’s co-founder, is among those concerned. Musk confirmed, adding, “Yes, and Gates too.”

Musk humorously noted, “Reid Hoffman was my Vice President of Business Development at PayPal, yeah, 24 years ago.”

He further explained that both billionaires, who do not share Trump’s ideology, are particularly worried about the Department of Justice potentially “taking action on the Epstein situation.”

The conversation shifted to the alleged existence of incriminating videos recorded on Epstein’s private properties, with Carlson mentioning, “Apparently, those rooms on the island… were wired for video.” Musk added, “Between Diddy and Epstein, there’s probably several thousand hours of footage here.”

Carlson highlighted the irony of public figures who criticize others while possibly hiding their own secrets.

“Well, I mean, part of how they deflect attention from themselves is by criticizing the morals of others,” Musk said. “Yes, so it’s sort of like a preemptive moral strike. I mean, as I said, I think those who are saying Trump is a threat to democracy are themselves actually the threat to democracy.”

As the discussion progressed, Musk hinted at potential “house cleaning” if Trump were to win.

“What happens next? Now that we know all this?” Carlson asked. “The kidnapper has shown us his face. Like, what happens?”

“Well, I think if Trump wins, we can do some house cleaning and shed light on things,” Musk concluded.

However, Musk’s remarks come amid scrutiny over his own ties to Epstein. Last year, a subpoena was issued for Musk in connection to Epstein’s human trafficking activities, leading to speculation about his links to the deceased financier. Although Musk has publicly denied any wrongdoing, such investigations could impact his reputation.

Musk took to Twitter to deny any correspondence with Epstein, stating, “That cretin never advised me on anything whatsoever.” His comments seemed to address ongoing legal disputes involving Epstein and J.P. Morgan, which allege the bank profited from Epstein’s illicit activities.

Musk’s connections to Epstein have been a persistent source of frustration, as critics often circulate a photo of him with Ghislaine Maxwell, one of Epstein’s most notorious associates.

Critics have pointed out the irony in Musk’s comments about Hoffman and Gates, given Trump’s known associations with the convicted sex offender.

Observers recall a June 2024 interview where Trump hesitated to discuss declassifying files related to Epstein, further fueling speculation about his involvement.

As Musk’s interview continues to generate buzz, the internet is filled with responses ranging from skepticism to mockery, as the implications of these high-stakes discussions unfold.
