The article covered the news that the hip-hop mogul is facing recent allegations in civil court that he sexually abused greater than 100 people, including a young boy who was auditioning for his record label. The headline read: “Diddy accused of abusing nine-year-old boy and spiking drinks with horse tranquilizers as 120 victims make shocking claims.”
In response to the article, Musk wrote on X“How many people in the music and entertainment industry knew about this?”

Some pointed to a brand new book during which Musk reportedly bragged about his friendship with Combs, saying, “We write a lot.” The Hollywood Reporter also reported in August that a fund tied to the entrepreneurial Combs was among the many investors in Musk's $44 billion bid to purchase Twitter in 2023, which he renamed X.
A outstanding respondent to Musk's post was singer Aubrey O'Day. Page Six reports.
