Reid Hoffman Eyes Exit from US Post-Trump Victory
Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn’s billionaire co-founder, is contemplating leaving the United States. This comes after Donald Trump secured a win in the recent US elections.
Why Hoffman Might Leave
Hoffman fears Trump could misuse his authority in the White House. He believes Trump may retaliate against his political adversaries.
Hoffman had openly backed Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign. He also donated $10 million to support her and stood as a prominent Democratic Party supporter.
Role in the Defamation Lawsuit
Hoffman financed a defamation case against Trump. E. Jean Carroll, a former New York magazine writer, filed the lawsuit.
The jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll in 1996. Carroll was awarded $5 million in damages. Later, another judge granted her an additional $83.3 million for defamation.
Hoffman’s Concerns
Hoffman publicly criticized Trump, even stating he wished Trump had been an “actual martyr” in an attempted assassination. His fear of retribution has only grown since Trump’s victory.
Reid Hoffman’s decision reflects concerns about the political climate and potential personal consequences.
