Hoffman Fears Trump Targeting Over Political Support

Reid Hoffman, billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn and a prominent Democratic donor, has expressed fears of political retaliation from President-elect Donald Trump due to his support for Vice President Kamala Harris. In a podcast interview, Hoffman suggested there is over a 50% chance that Trump could misuse government institutions, particularly the IRS, to target him with audits or deny contracts. His concerns reflect a broader apprehension among former Trump administration critics about potential investigations into their financial affairs. Hoffman's past connections to Jeffrey Epstein have also come under scrutiny, with some observers, including Elon Musk, noting that his fear may stem from this controversial history. While Hoffman attempts to frame his situation as a victim of political vendetta, his outspoken actions against Trump and the implications of his past associations complicate his narrative. Despite the anxiety, Hoffman stated he has no intention of leaving the country, indicating he is prepared to face any repercussions.
