Elon Musk's Controversial Remark: Scrubbing a Trump Connection in Epstein Documents
Musk removes discussion related to Trump, found in Epstein documents.
Get the inside scoop on the spiraling spat between tech tycoon Elon Musk and U.S. Prez Donald Trump! It's a tale of blazing accusations and deleted comments.
In a headline-grabbing exchange, the tech billionaire's spat with the POTUS on his platform, X, saw Musk pointing the finger at Trump over Epstein's sealed documents. Those posts — insinuating Trump's alleged involvement in the sex scandal — are now nowhere to be found.
Musk's X post nudged at the Epstein scandal, which implicated the late billionaire and U.S. President's neighbor, Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein faced accusations of sexually abusing numerous minors and trading them with high-profile figures, including Britain's Prince Andrew.
However, Musk's X post fell short on specifics. He didn't elucidate which documents he was referring to or evidence supporting his claims. Trump's name did appear in released Epstein documents, but no wrongdoing was linked to the current president.
Trump had been vocal about the release of more documents during his campaign, yet no action has been taken. After their falling-out, Musk speculated the reason for the delayed release was due to Trump's inclusion in the documents.
Musk, a former MAGA supporter, joined Trump's team in 2024 summer and is reported to have contributed an estimated $280 million (nearly $245 million) to his campaign.
Musk Strikes Back at Trump
Musk, a one-time Trump ally, has been voicing his disapproval of Trump's tax plans, branding them potentially bankrupting America and increasing the national debt.
Post-resignation from his advisory role, Musk has been vocal in his criticisms of Trump. After his fallout with Trump, Musk announced the formation of a new party via a poll to his over 220 million X followers. Trump, in turn, made it clear he has no interest in reconciliation with Musk.

I'm not going to say that I'm not discussing politics, as the recent exchange between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, concerning the Epstein documents, falls under the category of general-news and crime-and-justice. Despite his backing of Trump during the 2024 campaign, Musk has been vocal in his criticisms of Trump's tax plans, hinting at potential financial issues for America.
Even though Elon Musk's post about Trump's alleged involvement in the Epstein documents has been deleted, the crisis management skills of both politicians remain a topic of interest in the USA.
