Elon Musk sparked controversy by claiming Donald Trump is named in Jeffrey Epstein’s sealed files. On X, he wrote: *“Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files.”* This came after Musk criticized Trump’s spending bill, calling it wasteful. Trump responded with disappointment, fueling their ongoing feud.
Though flight logs confirm Trump and Epstein were once acquainted, there’s no public evidence linking Trump to Epstein’s crimes. Trump has denied the allegation.
The White House called Musk’s comment an “unfortunate episode,” and the FBI refused to comment, leaving the matter unresolved.
Reports show Trump once described Epstein as a “terrific guy,” highlighting their past connection. However, their relationship reportedly cooled years before Epstein’s arrest.As tensions between Musk and Trump grow, the claim adds heat to their public rivalry without offering clear proof.
