Elon Musk has attacked rap icon Eminem over his political endorsements of Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Barack Obama.
The drama unfolded on Tuesday, October 22, when the Tesla CEO responded to reports that Eminem would introduce Obama at a Harris campaign rally in Detroit.
Musk, known for his controversial remarks, replied to a post on X (formerly Twitter) from the account @AutismCapital, which criticized Eminem for aligning with Harris and Obama.
The tech mogul wrote, ‘Yet another Diddy party participant,’ a cryptic comment referencing hip-hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, whose parties have recently come under intense legal scrutiny.

Diddy, once renowned for hosting lavish events with A-list celebrities, is currently facing serious allegations involving sex trafficking and racketeering. The accusations suggest that he forced women into compromising situations at his notorious parties. In addition to his criminal charges, multiple lawsuits have been filed against Diddy, accusing him of sexual misconduct, including assaults on minors.
Interestingly, Eminem himself has previously targeted Diddy in his music. On his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), Eminem threw jabs at Diddy, alluding to the legal troubles swirling around the Bad Boy Records founder. He even referenced the longstanding rumor that Diddy was involved in the murder of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur.
Musk’s jab at Eminem is no surprise, given his outspoken support for Kamala Harris’ political opponent, Donald Trump. Earlier this month, Musk announced plans to give away $1 million a day to voters in Pennsylvania, a key swing state, in what many see as an effort to bolster support for Trump in the upcoming election.
