Musk retracts contentious post linking Trump to Epstein scandal
Elon Musk's Social Media Spat with Donald Trump Over Epstein Scandal
The billionaire maverick, Elon Musk, stirred the pot on his X social media platform by accusing Donald Trump of involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein case. This explosive claim heated up the tense relationship between the two powerful figures.
The White House voiced regret over Musk's fiery allegations, with Trump himself claiming that Musk has "completely lost it." Interestingly, the Tesla, Starlink, and SpaceX owner posted a 1992 video showing Trump and Epstein together at a party, but failed to provide any substantial evidence to back up his claims.
By Saturday morning, Musk's controversial posts had vanished from his account, fueling speculation about whether he meant to cool things down.
The Vice President JD Vance deemed Musk's attack on Trump a "big mistake" but attempted to lessen the situation by labeling Musk an "emotional guy." Jeffrey Epstein, notorious for the minor sex exploitation scandal, took his own life in prison in 2019 prior to trial.
Trump's relationship with Epstein was well-documented, yet Trump consistently denied being on the American Virgin Islands property where prosecutors allege the underage girls were sex-trafficked. After this public exchange, it seems highly unlikely that the dynamic between Trump and Musk will ever return to what it once was, but the intensity of their public feud seemed to subside somewhat by Friday night.
