The claims, circulating through podcasts, social media, and online forums, have intensified a rift between Owens and TPUSA leadership, particularly Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk.

Falcone, who generally keeps a low public profile, has been drawn into the debate through Owens' recent podcast episodes and public statements. Owens alleges that TPUSA figures had undisclosed dealings with Falcone and suggests these ties intersect with what she claims is a broader cover-up surrounding Kirk's death. Supporters of Owens have amplified the allegations as evidence of corruption, while critics dismiss them as unsubstantiated speculation.

Who Is Pierre Falcone?

Pierre Falcone is a French businessman and serial entrepreneur, born in 1954 in Algiers, then part of French Algeria. He serves as chairman of Pierson Capital Group, an investment firm focused on real estate, infrastructure, oil services, and projects across Africa, Latin America, and China.

Falcone is best known publicly for his involvement in the "Angolagate" scandal of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Alongside associate Arkady Gaydamak, he was accused in France of illegally trafficking hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of Soviet-era weapons to Angola during its civil war, allegedly bypassing international embargoes and involving political figures. Falcone was convicted in 2009, but on appeal in 2011 he was largely cleared of the arms-trafficking charges, with reduced sentences on other counts.

In recent discussions from late 2025 onward, Falcone has been prominently linked to Candace Owens' commentary. Owens claims that TPUSA leadership, including Erika Kirk and Justin Streiff, had connections to Falcone and that a major financial deal, described as potentially worth billions and tied to Falcone or related French sources, was on the table and only moved forward after Charlie Kirk's death. She has further alleged that Falcone was among the first to be informed of Kirk's death and that TPUSA figures met with him afterward while misrepresenting their prior knowledge of him.

The Official Account vs. Owens' Claims

Authorities state that Charlie Kirk was shot and killed during an event at Utah Valley University, with 22-year-old Tyler James Robinson arrested and accused of acting alone, firing from a nearby rooftop. Investigators maintain there is no evidence of a broader conspiracy.

Owens has rejected this account, asserting that Robinson was not solely responsible and claiming the official narrative conceals "federal level corruption." She has floated theories suggesting alternative firing positions and escape routes, including claims about tunnels.

Owens has also suggested international involvement, naming Israel, France, and Egypt as possible actors, allegations that French officials have formally denied. She has further accused TPUSA insiders of betrayal, alleging that Kirk's private exit route was leaked and that members of his inner circle told "verifiable lies" after the shooting. Additional claims have targeted donor pressure related to Israel and raised suspicions about Kirk's security provider, Brian Harpole.

Erika Kirk has repeatedly urged Owens to stop promoting the theories, describing them as a "mind virus" and accusing her of exploiting the tragedy for attention and profit. While Owens' supporters continue to share clips and posts across platforms such as X, TikTok, and Reddit, critics emphasize that the allegations against Falcone and TPUSA leadership remain unproven.

Falcone himself has not publicly engaged with the controversy and continues to maintain a low profile, with reported residences including the Scottsdale and Paradise Valley areas of Arizona.
