Many of the billionaires backing US Vice President Kamala Harris in the November election are likely “terrified” about Jeffrey Epstein’s client list being made public if Republican Donald Trump wins the race to teh White House, according to SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Epstein, a financier who socialized with the rich and famous for decades, was arrested in 2019 for pimping out young women, including minors, to an extensive client list of powerful acquaintances, whom he often flew to his private island in the Caribbean.
He died under suspicious circumstances in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019. His death was officially ruled a suicide.
The list of Epstein’s “guests” and other evidence that has reportedly been gathered by the FBI has since remained under lock and key,
Last month, Trump suggested in an interview with Lex Friedman that Epstein’s “black book” could be made public if he wins in November.
Speaking with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday, Musk claimed that Harris, the Democratic candidate, was simply a “marionette” and that there are actually over a hundred “puppet masters” behind her, most of whom the billionaire said he probably knows personally.
The tech mogul then went on to say that he would find it interesting to see the top one hundred of these “puppet masters” compared with the Epstein client list, suggesting there would be a “strong overlap.”
While he did not comment on the likelihood of the list actually ever seeing the light of day, Musk suggested that a big part of why Kamala Harris has been gaining so much support was because “many billionaires are terrified” of what could be made public if Trump wins.
He suggested that people such as LinkedIn co-founder and Musk’s former vice president of development at PayPall, Reid Hoffman, and Microsoft’s Bill Gates were particularly concerned over the “Epstein situation” and that the Department of Justice could actually “move forward” on some of the evidence.
He also pointed out how “mind blowing” it was that after all these years, the US justice system has not tried to prosecute even a single person from Epstein’s client list and has instead been going after the protesters who took part in the January 6 Capitol riots.
“There’s about 500-600 January 6 protesters in prison and not one person on the Epstein client list,” Musk noted.
