It seems Elon Musk has landed himself in controversy again, this time due to his connection to Sean “Diddy” Combs. Social media is ablaze after news surfaced about Diddy’s alleged $10 million investment in Musk’s platform, X (formerly Twitter), despite Diddy facing serious legal accusations. Among the claims, one of Diddy’s alleged victims was as young as 9 years old, with others aged 14 and 15.
In a new book titled Character Limit, authors Kate Conger and Ryan M. reveal that Musk had been boasting about his friendship with Diddy. Musk reportedly told the CEO of Revolt, “I don’t know if you know this, but Puff is an investor in Twitter… he’s a good friend of mine; we text a lot.” Many are now questioning the extent of their relationship, especially since Diddy stepped down as executive chairman of Revolt right before his ex, Cassie Ventura, filed a lawsuit with heavy accusations against him. Around this time, Diddy was also confirmed as an investor in X, joining other big names like Jack Dorsey and Larry Ellison.
To add to the intrigue, Musk and Diddy were spotted hanging out at a Dave Chappelle show back in 2022. As the internet continues to dig deeper into their relationship, it’s becoming harder for either of them to escape scrutiny.
But things recently took an even messier turn when Musk shared a report outlining over 120 claims against Diddy on X. The report revealed, “We now represent 120 individuals who intend to bring civil claims against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, as well as other individuals and entities that will be named as defendants.” Musk publicly asked, “How many people in music and entertainment knew about this?”
However, Musk soon found himself in hot water too. Music critic Anthony Fantano clapped back, pointing out that infamous photo of Musk with Ghislaine Maxwell, leading to awkward speculation about the company Musk keeps.
This isn’t Musk’s first brush with controversy. Earlier this year, he was criticized for sharing AI-generated content that depicted Vice President Kamala Harris as a communist, complete with a red uniform and a hammer and sickle hat. Despite X’s policy against manipulated content, Musk’s post remained unchecked, even as it quickly racked up millions of views.
The situation escalated when Musk posted about his belief that only “high-status males” should participate in government, igniting outrage across social media.
And as if Musk’s personal life wasn’t complicated enough, his strained relationship with his transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson, has become public. Musk claims that his child was “lost” to the “woke mind virus” after he was “tricked” into approving gender-affirming care. Vivian, however, has hit back, accusing Musk of relentlessly harassing her for her femininity and queerness, further fueling debates over Musk’s stance on social issues.
With Musk and Diddy both under intense public scrutiny, the question remains: is Musk complicit in Diddy’s alleged dark affairs, or were they just business partners? Let us know what you think in the comments.
