Blowup Between Trump and Musk: Musk Deletes Incendiary Post Regarding Trump in Epstein Files
Musk removes a cross-post discussing Trump in the Epstein documents
In a heated exchange of words between tech mogul Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump, the billionaire recently erased an inflammatory remark from his platform X. The post, accusing Trump of being linked to the infamous Epstein files, mysteriously vanished early Thursday morning.
Musk insinuated on X that the inclusion of Trump's name in the Epstein files was the reason for their continued secrecy. He bid a casual "have a nice day" to the President.
The Epstein scandal involves the late billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, a former neighbor of Trump's in Florida, who was accused of sexually abusing numerous girls and young women and peddling them to high-profile figures such as British Prince Andrew.
Musk's X post did not elaborate on the specific documents he was referring to nor present any compelling evidence for his claims. Trump's name has appeared in released Epstein-related documents; however, no wrongdoing was attributed to the President.
Musk supported Trump's presidential campaign with an estimated $280 million (around $245 million) and joined the MAGA movement in 2024's summer[2]. After his election victory, Trump appointed Musk as a special advisor, charging him with significant government cuts. Musk resigned from his advisory role at the end of May, criticizing Trump's tax plans and predicting America's descent into bankruptcy due to increased national debt[2].
Thursday marked the culmination of the tense relationship between the two, as tensions escalated following Trump's calling Musk "mentally deranged" after the latter claimed Trump would have lost the presidential election had it been held in November without him[6].
Musk also initiated a poll on X, inviting his over 220 million followers to vote on establishing a new party. Trump dismissed any prospect of reconciliation and expressed little interest in engaging with Musk[6].
