Elon Musk, Who Made Eye-Raising Diddy Comment, Previously Claimed They Were ‘Good’ Friends, According to New Book

About two years later, Musk shared a post on X that appeared to criticize Combs after the music mogul was arrested on Monday, Sept. 16, and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution.

“How many people in music & entertainment knew about this?” Musk asked in the post on Tuesday, Oct. 1.

Mac, whose book was released the day after Combs’ arrest, responded by quoting a post he shared on Thursday, Aug. 22, which included the excerpt from Character Limit that highlighted Musk’s purported claim about his friendship with Combs.

“Maybe you could have asked him when he invested in your twitter deal,” Mac wrote in his post on Tuesday.

A rep for Musk did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Combs was denied bail at his arraignment on Tuesday, Sept. 17, where he entered a plea of not guilty.

The mogul, who is considered one of the most powerful individuals in the music industry, is accused of forcing women to engage in long, orchestrated sex performances known as “freak offs,” some of which lasted several days.

In addition to the criminal charges against him, Combs also faces multiple civil suits in which he’s accused of sex abuse.

He is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
