Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, recently stirred up trouble by mentioning LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman in connection with the notorious Jeffrey Epstein case. In a podcast with Tucker Carlson, Musk claimed that people linked to Epstein were worried about Trump winning the election and revealing the Epstein client list. Reid Hoffman, who had visited Epstein's island and introduced him to other tech figures, felt the heat. He admitted hiring security due to threats from right-wing supporters. Hoffman expressed anger and sadness over Musk's comments, saying they were untrue and came from someone he admired. The situation highlights the political power play and the ongoing scandal around Epstein's connections.

Musk's comments targeted Hoffman and Bill Gates, suggesting they were afraid of Trump's victory. However, Musk's new boss, President-elect Trump, also had a close association with Epstein. While there's no evidence Trump visited Epstein's island, the two were neighbors and reportedly partied together. Epstein's influence reached many wealthy and influential people, including tech executives like Sergei Brin and Larry Page from Google.
