Elon Musk Alleges Donald Trump Is Named in Unreleased Jeffrey Epstein Files

Elon Musk has stirred fresh controversy after alleging that former U.S. President Donald Trump is named in the still-sealed Jeffrey Epstein files, suggesting it is the real reason the documents have not yet been made public.

In a post shared 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.
Have a nice day, DJT!
Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”

Musk vs. Trump: A Growing Rift

This statement marks a significant escalation in the ongoing public feud between Musk and Trump. The two, once considered political allies, have grown increasingly hostile in recent months. Musk recently slammed a Republican tax and spending bill backed by Trump, calling it a “disgusting abomination” and criticizing its potential to increase the national debt while slashing electric vehicle incentives—a key area for Musk’s businesses.

Trump responded by accusing Musk of hypocrisy and threatened to revoke federal subsidies and contracts that benefit Tesla, SpaceX, and other Musk-led companies.

What Are the Epstein Files?

The Epstein files refer to sealed court documents and other confidential records related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sex crimes and died in jail in 2019 under controversial circumstances. Epstein had high-profile ties with several global elites, including politicians, business moguls, and celebrities.

While Trump was known to have socialized with Epstein in the early 2000s, there is currently no public evidence linking him to Epstein’s alleged crimes or confirming his inclusion in any sealed documents.

Public Reaction and Legal Implications

Musk’s explosive claim has reignited public interest in the Epstein case and sparked renewed calls for full transparency. However, legal experts caution that unless the documents are unsealed or corroborating evidence emerges, such allegations remain speculative and potentially defamatory.

Neither Donald Trump nor his legal team has officially responded to Musk’s latest remarks as of press time.
