Fireworks Fly: Musk Accuses Trump of Epstein Link, Deletes Comment
Musk removes discussion on Trump in Epstein's archives
The digital battlefield heats up between tech titan Elon Musk and presidential heavyweight Donald Trump. On Thursday, Musk raises eyebrows with a blazing comment on his platform X, hinting at Trump's potential entanglement in the Epstein mess. But, much like the infamous ephemeral posts of old Twitter, Musk's accusations against Trump soon evaporate.
Musk's sizzling claim, made on his alternative microblogging platform X, implied that Trump's name was the smoking gun lurking in the shadows of the sealed Epstein files. "Go ahead, Trump, enjoy your day," Musk added, in an apparent snub to the US president.
Political Pandora's Box: Epstein, Trump, and Allegations Unveiled The controversy surrounding the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, along with his connection to Donald Trump, has been a recurring topic of concern. Epstein was known for his association with high-profile figures, including British Prince Andrew, and faced numerous allegations of sexual misconduct and trafficking.
Musk offered no concrete evidence to support his claims about the Epstein files. Still, Trump's name did appear within the public release of Epstein-related documents, though no substantial wrongdoing was attributed to Trump.
In the past, Trump had championed the disclosure of additional files during his campaign, yet there has been little progress made since then. Musk's accusation suggested that the unearthed documents implicating Trump were the real culprit behind the files' concealment.
From Allies to Adversaries: Musk's Fall from Trump's Grace Musk was once a vocal supporter of Trump, both financially and politically. He backed the MAGA movement with an estimated $280 million during the 2024 campaign and even became a special advisor to Trump following his victory. However, Musk tendered his resignation from the advisory role in late May after voicing his displeasure with Trump's proposed tax plans, calling them a recipe for economic ruin.
Fists Flying: The Trump-Musk Showdown
The latest round in the power clash between the dual colossi takes place during German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's visit to Washington on Thursday. "You've lost it, bro!" Trump roared at Musk, in response to the tech billionaire's staunch declaration that Trump would've lost the November election without his support.
Musk's provocation didn't stop there - he polled his vast social media following to gauge interest in forming a new political party. This move sent shockwaves through the political sphere, leaving Trump reeling with indifference towards reconciling with Musk. "Why waste my time?" Trump remarked in an interview with ABC the following day.
