Amid a spiraling feud with friend-turned-foe and former boss, Donald Trump, Elon Musk has dropped a bombshell. US President Donald Trump is in the Epstein files, and that is why they are not being released, the tech billionaire claimed in a stunning remark on his social media platform X.
“Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” Musk wrote just over an hour after a verbal spat with the President took an ugly turn.
He followed that up by saying, “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”
Inseparable for the last nine months, billionaires Donald Trump and Elon Musk were only praises for each other, but the last week has been turbulent, and the past 24 hours explosive. With the passage of the controversial ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’, which the two friends have deep disagreements over, the gloves have now come off.
Over the past few hours Trump and Musk have dealt blow after blow on each other. While Trump publicly chided Musk over his posts, saying he was very “disappointed with Elon”, Musk was quick to remind the “ungrateful” President that the reason he can call the White House his home, was because of Musk’s support during the election campaign last year.
“Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will any more,” Trump said at a White House press briefing. He also predicted that Elon “hasn’t said bad about me personally, but I’m sure that’ll be next,” adding that he was “very disappointed in Elon”.
In his swift and lethal response, Musk said, “Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate…Such ingratitude.”
But as the stock value of Musk’s EV firm Tesla plummeted with the passing of the controversial bill, Elon Musk dropped a series of posts, lambasting the US President for what Musk called “The Big Ugly Bill”. His latest post however, is bound to shake up Washington DC – that the Epstein files aren’t public because the US President figures in it.
