Fire and Fury: Musk Pulls Incendiary Post About Trump from Epstein Files
Musk removes a cross-post regarding Trump in the Epstein documents.
In a stunning development, tech mogul Elon Musk has wiped an incendiary comment about former US President Donald Trump from his social media platform, X. Musk had insinuated that Trump's name was hidden in the sealed Epstein files, a bombshell claim that has ignited a seething standoff between the two heavyweights.
On X, Musk insinuated that Trump's involvement in the late Jeffrey Epstein's sordid affairs was the rationale for keeping Epstein's files locked away. Wishing Trump a peaceful day, Musk made the explosive assertion without providing concrete proof.
Politics and Scandals: Epstein Ashes, Trump, and Musk - A Stormy Triangle The saga echoes the Jeffrey Epstein sex scandal, a murky episode that saw the billionaire, once a neighbor of Trump's in Florida, accused of sexually exploiting minors and trafficking them to high- Profile individuals, including the Duke of York, Prince Andrew of Britain.
Musk's claim regarding the Epstein files remains ambiguous, with no clear reference to which documents he's speaking of or any evidence supplied to back up his assertions. While Trump's name surfaces in some Epstein documents, no incriminating evidence has been associated with the former president thus far.
Political Tit-for-Tat Trump had previously advocated for releasing more documents, but no action has been taken. In a turn of events, Musk insinuated that Trump's unwillingness to release the documents stemmed from his presence in them.
Previously a staunch supporter of Trump during the 2024 election campaign, Musk donated an estimated $280 million (approximately $245 million) to Trump's MAGA movement. In return, Trump appointed Musk as his special advisor, tasking him with making significant cuts to the government machinery. However, the billionaire departed from this role at the end of May. Since then, Musk has intensified his criticism of Trump's tax plans, arguing they would push "America into bankruptcy" and escalate the national debt.
Old Allies Turning Enemies As German Chancellor Friedrich Merz visited Washington, DC on Thursday, the final rift between the world's wealthiest and most powerful men materialized. Trump labeled Musk as "bonkers" after Musk declared that Trump would not have won the November election without his backing.
Meanwhile, Musk posed a poll to his 220 million X followers about forming a new political party, to which Trump responded with indifference, expressing no intention of reconciliation and indicating little interest in speaking with Musk again, according to ABC News.
