Elon Musk, the billionaire behind Tesla and X, made headlines by claiming that several billionaires are supporting Vice President Kamala Harris out of fear that President Donald Trump will reveal the Jeffrey Epstein client list if he wins the 2024 election. Musk discussed the issue with Tucker Carlson during an interview posted on X.
Musk suggested that wealthy backers of Harris are concerned about the potential exposure of names linked to Epstein’s criminal activities. When Carlson asked if the client list would ever come to light, Musk indicated that it might, should Trump win the presidency again. He added that this is likely motivating certain billionaires to support Harris.
“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,” Musk stated. Musk singled out Reid Hoffman and Bill Gates as two high-profile figures who, he suggested, are particularly worried about the potential fallout from such disclosures.
The Epstein client list has been a subject of intense public interest since the financier’s arrest and subsequent death. However, legal protections have kept many names from being revealed, as some are victims or falsely accused.
Musk has thrown his support behind Trump’s 2024 campaign, appearing with him at events and endorsing his candidacy. Trump has vowed to release the Epstein client list if elected again, a promise that could have significant implications for some of the most powerful individuals in the world.
