Elon Musk Speculates on Billionaire Support for Kamala Harris Amid Epstein Client List Concerns

In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, suggested that the support Vice President Kamala Harris receives from certain billionaires could be linked to concerns about the potential release of a so-called “Epstein client list”. Musk indicated that there is anxiety among influential figures, including billionaires such as Reid Hoffman and Bill Gates, about what could transpire if former President Donald Trump were to win the upcoming election.

Musk stated, “I think part of why Kamala is getting so much support is that if Trump wins, that Epstein client list is going to become public.” He continued to explain that the possibility of disclosure is causing unease among some individuals backing Harris. When discussing Reid Hoffman, who worked with Musk as the VP of PayPal, Musk claimed Hoffman is particularly “terrified” of a Trump victory and the disclosures that may follow.

The so-called Epstein list refers to speculation regarding individuals associated with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sex trafficking. While numerous names have appeared in various court documents, there has yet to be an official compilation identifying Epstein’s clients.

Donald Trump also touched on the Epstein situation during a September podcast with Lex Fridman, stating he would be inclined to examine the rumored client list if the opportunity arose, and expressed no objections to its release.

Musk’s recent public appearances in support of Trump have been linked to his America PAC, which is aimed at boosting Trump’s campaign ahead of the November 5 election, with Pennsylvania being a focal point. Musk’s support for Trump follows an attempted assassination on the former president in July, in which Musk appeared at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Aside from the political discussions, Musk addressed the backlash from a controversial X (formerly Twitter) post where he joked about the lack of assassination attempts on President Joe Biden and Harris. The joke led to an investigation by the Secret Service. Musk later deleted the post, clarifying that his humor was misunderstood.
