Billionaire Elon Musk has openly criticized Jennifer Lopez, suggesting she has been selective in her public warnings.

Lopez, who previously dated hip-hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs from 1999 to 2001, has been vocal about her views on former President Donald Trump and issues surrounding Puerto Rico.

However, Musk expressed his discontent with what he perceives as her silence on Diddy’s alleged actions, hinting at a double standard in her stance.

Musk, who has previously aligned himself with Trump, pointed out that while Jennifer Lopez has criticized the former president, she hasn’t addressed past accusations surrounding her former partner.

Diddy is currently embroiled in severe legal allegations, including sexual assault and sex trafficking, though he denies the charges.

His legal troubles have resurfaced due to high-profile lawsuits and shocking testimonies, including allegations that parties he hosted involved coercive practices and sexual exploitation, some reportedly involving minors.

These cases have cast a shadow over his influence within the music industry, with many questioning how such activities allegedly went unchecked for years.

Despite the public scrutiny and backlash he now faces, Lopez has refrained from commenting on any of the claims related to Diddy.

Her silence has led some, including Musk, to question the selective nature of public condemnations within the entertainment industry, where figures are quick to express opinions on political matters but often avoid addressing controversies involving past associates.

This is not Musk’s first time linking celebrity criticism of Trump to the Diddy controversy. In a social media post on his platform, X (formerly known as Twitter), Musk responded to rapper Eminem’s support for Vice President Kamala Harris by alluding to the Diddy scandal, drawing attention to the attendees of the mogul’s parties, where several alleged assaults supposedly took place.
