Elon Musk has publicly questioned whether far-right activist Nick Fuentes is working with U.S. federal law-enforcement, writing that it "doesn’t make sense that the FBI leaves Fuentes alone … unless he is an asset of some kind." It marks the Tesla and X Corp. owner’s most direct involvement yet in an increasingly bitter dispute among conservative influencers. Musk’s remarks echo recent claims by commentators Candace Owens, Milo Yiannopoulos and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who have each suggested Fuentes may be a federal informant. Owens amplified the allegation during appearances on her own podcast and Carlson’s program, while Yiannopoulos has repeated the charge on social media. Fuentes, 26, has not issued a formal response, but several online supporters rejected the accusation as a coordinated smear. The controversy has widened rifts inside the pro-Trump movement, surfacing alongside a separate, high-profile feud between Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and activist Laura Loomer. The overlapping clashes underscore the fractured state of the hard-right coalition as its leading figures vie for influence.
