The  50-year-old Tesla CEO   made the baseless claim in   an interview with Tucker Carlson   on Musk-owned social media app X.

“And some of those billionaires backing Kamala are terrified of that outcome.”

Musk named Microsoft founder    Gates and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman as two of the billionaires who reportedly fear the publication of Epstein’s client list.

Gates and Hoffman are major  Democratic donors   .

“He’s terrified of a Trump victory,” Musk added of Hoffman, who worked for him at PayPal decades ago.

“He’s certainly not ideologically aligned with Trump, but I think he’s actually concerned about the Epstein situation … that the Justice Department can actually move forward.”

Asked about alleged video evidence of Epstein’s crimes, Musk replied: “Between Diddy and Epstein, there’s probably several thousand hours of footage here.”

The SpaceX boss said it was “mind-boggling” that the January 6 rioters were prosecuted while Epstein’s associates went unpunished.

Musk said there was a “strong overlap” between Epstein’s client list and Kamala’s “100 puppet masters.”

The New York Times reported that Gates became friends with Epstein after the pedophile was convicted of sex crimes.

Gates and Epstein were said to have met numerous times beginning in 2011. In fact, Gates visited Epstein at least three times at Epstein’s home in New York City, according to The Times.

Meanwhile, Hoffman   visited Epstein’s private Caribbean island   after he was convicted of sex crimes and asked the billionaire pedophile to help raise money for MIT.

Hoffman traveled to the island with Joi Ito, then director of the MIT Media Lab, who had asked Hoffman and Epstein to help raise funds for MIT.

Musk and Hoffman, a major Democratic donor, worked together at PayPal more than two decades ago, but their friendship has been strained by their political differences.

After Trump survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, Musk claimed that “the Reid Hoffmans [sic] of the world got their greatest wish… but then the martyr lived.”

Musk and Carlson said that if Harris beats Trump in November, it would be their last election.

Both joked that Harris and Joe Biden are figures of a movement rather than major politicians.

“Kamala will say whatever the teleprompter says,” Musk said.

He also expressed to Carlson his concern that religion has been replaced in society by the “wakeful mind virus.”

The interview follows Musk’s appearance at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

The 50-year-old Tesla CEO made the baseless claim in an interview with Carson on Musk-owned social media app X.

Musk jumped wildly with his fists in the air as he joined Donald Trump on stage for the first time.

The Tesla and SpaceX boss’s dramatic appearance came as   Trump returned to the grounds of the Butler Farm Show in Pennsylvania  , where he survived an assassination attempt three months ago.

After jumping up and down, Musk told the large crowd: “America is the home of the brave and the true test of someone’s character is how they conduct themselves under fire.

‘We had a president who couldn’t walk up a flight of stairs and another who raised his fist after being shot. FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!’

Musk, wearing a black baseball cap, urged his followers to vote, register to vote and ask others to “vote right now.”

“I’m being repetitive for a reason,” he said. “Honestly, you want to be a nuisance. Fight, fight, fight! Vote, vote, vote!”

Musk’s appearance at Trump’s Butler rally marked the first time he had taken the stage at a political rally.

The billionaire was inspired to publicly endorse Trump after the failed assassination attempt on the former president in Butler on July 13.
