SpaceX founder and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk mocked former talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi over their decision to leave the United States and settle in the United Kingdom, referring to an alleged conspiracy theory linked to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
Several US media outlets reported on November 21, citing their sources, that the famous daytime show host Ellen and her wife had moved out of the USA following Donald Trump’s presidential win.
The Hollywood couple reportedly relocated to the Cotswolds in England, inviting an ocean of reactions, including a pointed response from Musk, who took to his self-owned social media platform X, (formerly Twitter), only to bring a new angle on the matter.
Musk shared a conspiracy theory alleging that DeGeneres decided to leave the country as she had connections with the disgraced rapper Diddy, who is currently behind bars over charges of racketeering and sex trafficking among others.
The Tesla boss referred to an original post of DeGeneres in 2016 when she wished happy birthday to P Diddy by referring to him as “Cuddle McSnugglestuff”.
“Happy birthday, P Diddy, Puff Daddy, Sean Combs, or as I call him, Cuddle McSnugglestuff. You don’t need to know why. @iamdiddy,” read the post. A user who shared a screenshot of the post commented, “It makes sense why she fled the country after the election.”
The post was shared by Musk, who also added an ‘eyebrow-raising’ emoji in the caption without elaborating much.
In response to Musk’s X post, a user wrote, “If that is what she calls him – I wonder what he calls her. Actually – no no I don’t – I don’t want to know.” Another user said, “Ellen fled the country before Donald Trump could release the Jeffrey Epstein client list.”
Musk, who previously referred to Sean Combs as a “close friend,” faced criticism earlier this year for his connection to the embattled music mogul. Musk had acknowledged Combs as an investor in X but later expressed surprise at the scope of the allegations against him, posting on the platform, “I wonder how many people knew about this.”
Reportedly, DeGeneres and her wife moved to England after completing the sale of their Montecito Estate in California. During the recently held US presidential elections, she campaigned for Democrat nominee Kamala Harris.
