LinkedIn Co-Founder Reid Hoffman Considers Leaving U.S. After Trump Election Victory

Hoffman, a major Democratic donor, reportedly fears retribution from President-elect Trump and is weighing relocating overseas.

Reid Hoffman, billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn and prominent Democratic donor, is reportedly considering leaving the U.S. after Donald Trump’s election victory.
Sources indicate Hoffman fears potential retaliation from Trump, who has vowed to target political opponents, including major Democratic contributors.
Hoffman has been a vocal critic of Trump and helped fund lawsuits against him, including E. Jean Carroll’s defamation and sexual abuse cases, which resulted in significant judgments against Trump.
The prospect of leaving the U.S. is reportedly shared by other wealthy Democratic donors, with some already relocating, citing political and economic uncertainties under the incoming administration.
Hoffman has previously expressed concerns about retaliation against business leaders who openly criticize Trump, warning of potential abuses of power such as audits or other forms of punishment.
