Elon Musk Alleges That Donald Trump Is Listed In The Jeffrey Epstein Files
Elon Musk posted a series of messages about Donald Trump on X after Trump’s meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The Tesla founder told his followers he was about to he was gearing up to drop a “really big bomb,” claiming that Trump allegedly has ties to convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein.
“Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” Musk wrote.

The Tesla CEO also claimed that Trump’s name appears in the Epstein files, and that’s why, according to him, those records still haven’t been released. In a follow-up post, he said the truth would come out soon, writing, “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”
Chileeeee! Elon Musk kept the pressure on Trump with Epstein accusations. When an X user pulled up an old clip of Trump and Epstein turning up back in November 1992, Elon hit back with nothing but a raised eyebrow emoji.
The footage shows Donnie posted up with cheerleaders from the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins, dancing and mingling before Epstein arrives with two other guests. Trump and Epstein’s link-up reportedly went down a decade before Epstein pleaded guilty on state prostitution charges, according to the clip MSNBC dropped.
Trump Reacts To Elon’s Criticism Of The “Big Beautiful Bill”
Donald Trump hasn’t addressed Elon’s Epstein claims yet, but he did bring him up during his meeting at The White House on June 5. Trump said he was really disappointed in Elon after hearing his thoughts about the “Big Beautiful Bill.”
“I’m very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill… better than anybody sitting here. Better than you people. He knew everything about it. He had no problem with it. All of a sudden, he had a problem, and he only developed the problem when he found we were going to cut the EV mandate, because that’s billions and billions of dollars, and it is really unfair. And he never had a problem until right after he left,” Trump said.
Despite Trump’s statements, Elon Musk hopped right back on X to shut down Trump’s claims about the bill. He said he never saw it, and it was passed so fast through Congress. “False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!”
