Elon Musk recently stirred the pot during a chat with Tucker Carlson on X, taking a bold guess at why Vice President Kamala Harris has become the darling of certain billionaires. His theory? Many of those wealthy backers might be just a little too cozy with Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious network, and fear that a Trump victory could bring old skeletons tumbling out of the closet, specifically that infamous client list.
Musk observed that the financial backing Harris is receiving could be driven by panic. With the prospect of Donald Trump returning to the White House, these plutocrats could very well see their past associations being publicly exposed. The irony is thick; while Harris has positioned herself as a champion of progressive values, it seems her affluent supporters are more concerned with self-preservation than with any social justice agenda.
Musk Has a Theory for Why Harris Is Getting Support From Certain Billionaires

This speculation follows Trump’s own comments about potentially releasing the Epstein client list if elected. While he claimed on “The Lex Fridman Podcast” that he had never set foot on Epstein’s chaotic island of horrors, he indicated many “big people” had. Trump has always had a knack for bringing attention to the unsavory connections that plague the elite, and this situation certainly fits the bill. The former president’s insistence on distancing himself from Epstein is reminiscent of a toddler swearing they didn’t touch the cookie jar, despite the crumbs still on their lips.
One can’t help but question the irony in the fact that Harris, a supposed champion of the very people that would be affected by such a scandal, is allegedly backed by individuals with potentially sordid ties to one of the most infamous pedophiles in history. It’s as if the very foundations of the Democratic Party are built on shifting sands, all while they preach moral superiority from their pulpit of privilege.
The conversation took an especially strange turn when the topic of Epstein’s client list came up. Trump hinted at its potential public release, remarking on how strange it was that this list has not yet seen the light of day. For those on the left who vilify Trump, it’s worth noting that he appears unfazed by the idea of revealing secrets that could rattle the very establishment they hold dear. Could it be that the fear harbored by Harris’s billionaire supporters might just end up being their own undoing?
As the discourse progresses about the legacy of Epstein’s misdeeds, it seems certain that the closer anyone is to the line between wealth and ethics, the more they’ll be looking over their shoulder. Harris may want to do some spring cleaning in her donor list, or else she might find those high-flying contributions pulled back quicker than a stock market crash when Trump’s spotlight shines their way.
