DeGeneres leaves US: Elon Musk has stirred controversy again, this time targeting former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. The billionaire amplified a conspiracy theory suggesting that DeGeneres fled the United States due to alleged ties with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
Musk’s Eyebrow-Raising Post Sparks Debate
The speculation began when Musk quote-posted a theory connecting DeGeneres to Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy, who is currently embroiled in legal troubles over his alleged “freak-off” parties. Musk’s post featured only an eyebrow-raising emoji, adding fuel to the already circulating rumors.
The theory referenced a 2016 tweet by DeGeneres, where she wished Diddy a happy birthday in a playful tone:
“Happy birthday, P Diddy, Puff Daddy, Sean Combs, or as I call him, Cuddle McSnugglestuff. You don’t need to know why. @iamdiddy.”
A user resurfaced the post, captioning it: “It makes sense why she fled the country after the election.” Musk amplified the screenshot without elaborating further.
Social Media Reactions to Musk’s Post

The post sparked a flurry of reactions. One user commented:
“If that is what she calls him—I wonder what he calls her. Actually—no, I don’t. I really don’t want to know.”
Another user wrote:
“Ellen literally fled the country before Donald Trump could release the Jeffrey Epstein client list.”
A third added:
“Ellen DeGeneres is part of their club. Does she know that the UK has an extradition treaty with America? She can run but can’t hide.”
Musk’s Connection to Diddy: A Surprising Twist
While Musk mocked DeGeneres publicly, court documents have revealed a financial link between the Tesla CEO and Diddy. A fund associated with Diddy had reportedly invested in Musk’s $44 billion acquisition of X (formerly Twitter).
Reacting to these revelations, Musk posted on the platform:
“I wonder how many people knew about this.”
Ellen DeGeneres Leaves the United States
Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, have reportedly relocated to the Cotswolds in southwest England after selling their Montecito Estate in California. The move coincided with Donald Trump’s presidential election win.
DeGeneres had previously endorsed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris during the campaign, and her departure has drawn speculation about her political motives and personal decisions.
The End of DeGeneres’ Talk Show Era
DeGeneres’ departure also marks a turning point in her career. Her long-running talk show officially ended in 2022 after 19 successful seasons. However, the show’s final years were marred by allegations of promoting a toxic work environment, with complaints from staff members and even some celebrity guests.
A Controversial Web of Allegations and Speculations
This latest controversy blends conspiracy theories, social media debates, and high-profile figures. Whether Musk’s posts are harmless jibes or calculated provocations, they continue to keep him—and his targets—firmly in the spotlight.
