Elon Musk Demands The Release Of Epstein Files Weeks After Accusing Trump Of Being Involved
Elon Musk has reignited demands for the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s files, weeks after suggesting Donald Trump might be implicated in the scandal. The Tesla CEO previously claimed on X that Trump appears in the sealed documents, writing: “That is the real reason they have not been made public.”
Though Musk later deleted the post, he recently doubled down by agreeing with a MAGA activist’s call to release unredacted Epstein files, simply replying “Yes.” This comes amid a public feud between the two billionaires, with Trump recently mocking Musk’s reliance on government subsidies.
Trump has repeatedly denied any involvement with Epstein’s crimes. The former president shared comments from Epstein’s late attorney David Schoen, who stated he specifically asked Epstein if he had compromising information on Trump and received a definitive “no.”
Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance also defended Trump, calling Musk’s claims “totally BS” on a podcast and asserting Trump “didn’t do anything wrong with Epstein.” The heated exchange highlights growing tensions between the tech mogul and the Republican party.
Trump and Epstein were publicly associated for years before reportedly falling out in the early 2000s. While their friendship is documented, Trump has never been accused of participating in Epstein’s illegal activities.
The controversy emerges as Musk increasingly positions himself against Trump’s political allies. Trump recently suggested Musk might need to “go back to South Africa” without government support, escalating their war of words.
As pressure builds to unseal Epstein’s client list, Musk’s latest comments ensure this explosive issue remains in public discourse, despite lacking concrete evidence connecting Trump to Epstein’s crimes. The unfolding drama continues to captivate political observers.
