That was a rhetorical question. If we have an electron which experiences the gravitational attraction, but does not free-fall due to electrostatic repulsion, it is an accelerated charge. And as an accelerated charge it radiates. There is no other source of energy for this radiation except for...

Electrostatic repulsion of two electrons is about 4.17*10^42 stronger than their gravitational attraction, and is mediated by massless carriers. Black holes preserve charge, and charging a BH with even a moderate electric (negative) charge will result in BH repulsing electrons instead of...
