Trump-Elon's Remark: Trump Found in Epstein's Records Amidst Collapsing Public Relationship
In the grand scheme of things, the catastrophic implosion between Elon Musk and Donald Trump is no longer just a matter of speculation—it's out in the open. And it's Musk who's pulled the trigger, throwing accusations that Trump is buried deep in the infamous Epstein Files.
"Boom! Time to expose the skeletons, DJT. You're in the Epstein files. That's the real reason those files have been under wraps. Enjoy your day, Prez!" Musk teased on platform X.
The vendetta between these two powerhouse figures started rearing its head during a White House press conference on Thursday. Trump publicly expressed his disappointment with Musk, accusing the billionaire of possibly succumbing to the infamous Trump Derangement Syndrome after criticizing the so-called Big Beautiful Bill. Trump even went so far as to poke fun at Musk's shiner, suggesting he use some makeup to hide it.
Now, Musk is going full beast-mode on his social media platform X, retweeting memes at Trump's expense, hinting at body-double conspiracies, and throwing around ideas of forming a brand-new political party. But the real bombshell came in the form of a not-so-veiled reference to Trump's alleged ties to Epstein. The Epstein Files, if you're unfamiliar, are that shiny, incriminating piece of evidence featuring powerful individuals with ties to the late pedophile.
"Without me, Trump would've bitten the dust in the election, Democrats would have the House, and the Republicans would be beating the Republicans by one seat in the Senate," Musk wrote during his tweet-frenzy on Thursday. "Such utter ingratitude."
Musk was responding to a video clip of Trump expressing his disappointment with the billionaire, with the president suggesting Musk might have contracted Trump Derangement Syndrome. Musk also retweeted a video from March, detailing a high-profile stunt by Trump to promote Tesla at the White House. In the video, Trump hailed Musk as a "patriot" who had never even asked for a single favor.
Let's not forget the meme from the account Not Jerome Powell, which riffed on a Trump interview format, complete with a piece of paper labeled "increase spending." Musk jumped on the meme bandwagon, creating some tongue-in-cheek banter with Trump over the allegedly confusing details surrounding electric vehicle legislation.
Confused? Well, so are the rest of us. Trump accused Musk of being upset due to the killing of EV "mandates," while Musk appeared to think Trump was referring to a bill passed by Senate Republicans last month that banned the phase-out of vehicles with internal combustion engines. But there's one thing we do know for sure—these guys are well and truly belligerent.
And what about those Epstein Files, you ask? Well, they remain under investigation, with ongoing requests for transparency from various political parties. There are genuine concerns that Trump might be blocking the release of the files to avoid scrutiny. As for whether there's any concrete evidence linking Trump to Epstein? That remains to be seen.
The social media sphere, needless to say, was abuzz with memes poking fun at the brawl between these two larger-than-life figures, including a nod to Mean Girls. Even Ashley St. Clair, the right-wing author and mother of one of Musk's kids, weighed in with a suggestion for Trump: "hey @realDonaldTrump, let me know if you need any breakup advice."
As for Musk's Tesla stock, it's taking a hit, with shares dropping 14% at the time of this writing and a share price of $284. But with Musk's uncanny knack for juicing his stock with shiny new ideas, it's anyone's guess whether this rift with Trump and disillusionment with MAGA will prove to be a long-term hurdle for the short term. And when Musk is throwing around references to Trump being in the Epstein Files, you know things are about to get real messy.
