Musk says Trump is 'in the Epstein files' which is why they haven't been made public in newest slam

Source: The Independent

Thursday 05 June 2025 22:00 BST


Elon Musk has claimed that Donald Trump “is in the Epstein files” and that’s “the real reason” they have not been released as the tech mogul launched several public attacks against the president. “Time to drop the really big bomb,” Musk posted on X. “@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”

He followed up shortly after: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.” Musk also shared NBC footage of Trump and Epstein at a party together in 1992, simply captioned with a raised eyebrow emoji.

The president and the billionaire traded blows on social media in a very public breakdown of their relationship. The barbs came after Musk’s departure as a special advisor to the government, and his brief time running the Department of Government Efficiency. The Independent has contacted the White House for comment.

“Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!“ the president wrote before Musk dropped the claim about the Epstein files.

Remember when RBS was “too big to sue”?
Musk will wear the DOJ out. Nominally headed by Bondi but (reportedly) run by Miller, their lawyers are already getting worn out in court.

Contracts can be voided but usually for performance not just a personal whim. Also, like it or not, Elon’s operations do actually do things. You can’t just stop doing them while you issue RFP’s and go through the procurement and legislative process.

President Trump has gone scorched earth on the architect of his own judicial legacy, disavowing Leonard Leo, the Federalist Society and any judge who stands in the way of the MAGA agenda.

He is about to find out that Trump appointed judges are not 'Trump Judges'.

He’s left to lashing out at those around him.

Krasnov couldn't pay Putin enough for those tapes. If they exist, Putin owns Trump. And it sure looks like he does.

As for Epstein, he and Trump weren't having tea parties for 10 years

I laughed when I heard this. Laughed just because it seems so fitting that two lowlife creeps would hang out together and do scuzzy lecherous things to young girls. Why am I not surprised? And how does Musk know? Does he make up a trio?

...which we ALL knew it would when Elon jumped on the board the Trumptanic last year.
Elon thought to himself, "It will be different for me. I will not be like *EVERY SINGLE PERSON* who has ever gotten 'close' to Trump, that he will shaft me and dump me."

Everything Trump touches dies Elon...including your money, your reputation, your businesses, your govt. EV subsidies and unfortunately for you, your no bid sweetheart government contracts.

He also might deport all of those South African "refugees" that you convinced him to bring over here at taxpayer expense.

They never got released when Biden was President. Probably powerful people looking out for
other powerful people or blackmailing them.

That list is the power he has over so many that are afraid to speak out against him or, speak out against each other. Epstein's world most likely had a revolving door. Those going in meet those coming out. Kid touching is big sport with the elites.
