Trump faces potential threat from Musk, who holds Epstein documents
By Todd StevensSparkles and QuipsSocial ButterflyDigital InboxEmail Me
Elon Musk stirred the pot yet again with a shocking announcement on his social media X - he claimed Trump's name surfaces in the Epstein files. "Buckle up, folks," Musk wrote, followed by a pointed, "Save this tweet. Truth's gonna come out."
The Epstein files in question are a treasure trove of documents surrounding the investigation and trial of the notorious financier Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who met his end in a New York jail in 2019 under dubious circumstances. Trump, like many other high-profile figures, has been connected to Epstein through these files, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's involved in any criminal activities[5].
Musk's Alarming Suggestions
Musk seems to be alluding to a deeper relationship between Trump and Epstein, given that he labeled his claim as "the real big one." Musk also shared a video of Trump and Epstein together at a party in 1992 surrounded by young women, simply adding a winking emoji[4].
Interestingly, there are recorded instances of Trump describing Epstein as a "great guy" and praising his love for beautiful women[4]. However, Trump later claimed to have distanced himself from Epstein in 2019, stating they hadn't spoken in 15 years.
Trump's "Phase One": A Mixed Bag
The authenticity of Musk's threat remains unverified. In February, former Attorney General Pam Bondi (Trump's appointee) released a portion of the Epstein files, dubbing it "phase one." Critics argue that these files contained little new information and were more political spectacle than factual revelation[6].
Democrats Join the Fray
Leveraging the buzz surrounding the Epstein files, Democrats in the House of Representatives have sent a letter to Bondi and Trump’s FBI chief Kash Patel. They demand clarification on whether Trump actually appears in the Epstein files, a timeline for releasing the remaining files, and an explanation for the lack of new documents since February[7].

I'm not sure what Elon Musk is talking about when he suggests Trump's involvement in the Epstein scandal, but the release of the Epstein files, dubbed "phase one" by former Attorney General Pam Bondi, has sparked controversy and led Democrats to demand clarification on the matter. The files, which contain documents surrounding the investigation and trial of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, have been met with skepticism as some argue they contain little new information and serve more as political spectacle than factual revelation.
