Elon Musk has launched a stunning accusation against former President Donald Trump, claiming that Trump’s name appears in the controversial Jeffrey Epstein files and suggesting this is the reason the files remain undisclosed to the public. This explosive statement comes amid an ongoing dispute between the two over government contracts and political disagreements.
In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Musk wrote, “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.” He added, “Have a nice day, DJT!” underscoring the seriousness of the claim.
Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced billionaire financier, was convicted for sex offenses involving minors and had a network that allegedly implicated numerous influential figures. Trump was known to have associated socially with Epstein in the past, which has fueled speculation about his potential involvement. However, no concrete public evidence has ever confirmed Trump’s direct connection to Epstein’s criminal activities.
This revelation from Musk follows a public confrontation with Trump, who recently criticized Musk on his social media platform, Truth Social. Trump accused Musk of “wearing thin” and announced that he had revoked Musk’s electric vehicle (EV) mandate, a policy that previously favored Tesla’s electric cars. Trump claimed this move would save billions of dollars in government spending, while also expressing surprise that President Joe Biden had not already taken similar action.
The tension intensified after Musk harshly criticized the recent Congressional spending bill, dubbing it a “disgusting abomination” laden with excessive spending and urging his followers to oppose it. This criticism apparently contributed to Trump’s threats to terminate Musk’s government subsidies and contracts, escalating the conflict.
In response to Trump’s threats, Musk fired back defiantly on X, stating, “This just gets better and better,” followed by the challenge, “Go ahead, make my day.” Shortly afterward, he made the Epstein files accusation, raising the stakes of the feud.
The public feud between Musk and Trump continues to unfold, capturing widespread attention and raising questions about the implications for their political and business futures. With Musk’s shocking claim about Epstein’s files now in the spotlight, the story is far from over.
