Elon Musk previously claimed a close friendship with Sean Diddy Combs , despite recent social media posts appearing to criticize the rapper, according to a new book. During a 2022 meeting with Detavio Samuels, CEO of Combs' media company Revolt, Musk reportedly said: "I don't know if you know this, but Puff is an investor in Twitter." "You know, he's a good friend of mine.
We text a lot." Just two weeks ago Combs was placed on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits trial, following his arrest and denial of bail . Wendy Williams' 'warning' to P Diddy over her son in resurfaced interview Diddy warned testifying in sex trafficking trial could do 'more harm than good' The claim, reported by New York Times journalists, contrasts with Musk's recent post following Combs' arrest on sex trafficking charges.
"How many people in music & entertainment knew about this?" Musk asked on his platform X on Oct. 1. Combs was listed among 95 investors in X, formerly Twitter, in a federal court filing in August 2024.
Recently Combs was placed on suicide watch shorty after he was arrested and denied bail twice–and he has been awaiting trial while being warned that testifying in his own defense wouldn’t help. However, while some of his accusers have indicated some high-profile celebrities are on the tapes from the rapper’s alleged “freak-off” parties, things are apparently going better for him behind bars now, as he is officially off suicide watch. REA.
