Firecracker Controversy: Musk Pulls Incendiary Trump Mention off X-Platform
Musk removes a shared post concerning Trump from the Epstein documentation files.
Here's an explosive back-and-forth between Donald Trump and tech titan Elon Musk! Musk, the X founder, pulled an incendiary comment implying Trump's connection to the Epstein documents, only to resurface later in the day.
On X, Musk drummed up a blaze suggesting Trump's name being nestled in the Epstein files as the secret reason the files remained sealed. Closing with a cordial "enjoy your day," he set fire to the internet.
Trump's moniker cropped up in some of the Epstein documents, following the disgraced financier's infamous demise. It's worth noting Trump was never fingered for any misdeeds in these documents. Still, the 45th President initially backed the release of more papers, though no discernible action has yet been taken.
Fast-forward to the present, Musk hinted the lack of document release was merely a smokescreen for the President's alleged involvement.
Before Musk powered the MAGA movement with an estimated $280 million (approximately $245 million), the Tesla and SpaceX CEO partnered with Trump during the 2024 election race. After reportedly landing the role of special advisor, Musk parted ways, turning fiercely critical of Trump's tax plans, denouncing them as a path to America's bankruptcy.
Musk Lets Loose on Trump
The relationship between the ex-advisor and ex-ally hit a boiling point when Musk claimed that Trump would've lost the 2020 election without his support.
During Angela Merkel's Washington visit, the tension between the heavyweights erupted. Trump deemed Musk as "bonkers," while the billionaire entertained the idea of founding a new political party on X.
When asked about mending fences with Musk, Trump remained mysteriously aloof.
