Elon Musk has made yet another sensational u-turn and is now demanding the release of the Epstein files, and the FBI has responded.
Elon Musk set social media on fire, claiming Donald Trump is in the Epstein files—and he swears “the truth will come out.”
Musk and Trump’s working relationship highlighted.
Earlier this year, Donald Trump and Elon Musk were practically joined at the hip, publicly praising each other as allies in government and tech.
Musk was named to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), effectively becoming a key voice in early White House decision-making.
His position gave him direct influence over tech policies, infrastructure, and energy—many of which conveniently aligned with his business empire.
With Musk at the table, Tesla-friendly regulations, EV subsidies, and AI-friendly frameworks took top priority in the new Trump administration.
By late spring, Musk began publicly criticizing certain policies that clashed with Tesla, SpaceX, or Neuralink—triggering friction behind the scenes.
At the end of May, Musk shocked insiders by stepping down from DOGE, citing “misaligned priorities” and a need to “refocus on innovation.”
Soon after, social media interactions between the two vanished. No more retweets, shoutouts, or praise—a digital cold war had begun.
Musk and Trump’s public feud explained.
Early June saw Trump slam electric vehicle subsidies, a lifeline for Tesla, calling them “wasteful and rigged.” Musk didn’t take it well.
In response, Musk posted that Trump wouldn’t have “won anything” without his support—taking direct credit for the election result.
By June 4, screenshots and quote-posts of the escalating feud were trending across X, Reddit, and Truth Social.
The tension peaked when Musk ominously tweeted, “Time to drop the really big bomb.” Followers braced for impact.
Moments later, he dropped the post: “@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”
He immediately followed with: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”
For hours, Musk added eyebrow emojis to other posts implying Trump had ties to Jeffrey Epstein—feeding the frenzy.
Despite the bombshell, Trump has yet to post any denial or rebuttal on Truth Social or anywhere else.
Context of Musk’s claims unraveled.
Trump and Epstein were publicly acquainted in the early 2000s, attending parties together and mingling in Palm Beach society.
In 2002, Trump told New York Magazine, “He’s a lot of fun to be with… he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
Despite mounting pressure, much of the Epstein client list remains sealed. Only partial names have been disclosed to date.
MAGA personality Ashley St. Clair—who recently had a child with Musk—broke months of silence with a savage shot.
She posted: “Hey @realDonaldTrump lmk if u need any breakup advice,” dragging the drama into personal territory.
St. Clair and Musk’s secret child was revealed only during a legal custody filing in early May, shocking even longtime Musk-watchers.
Musk’s promise to uncover truth confirmed.
Musk is now claiming Trump’s name is hidden in those still-secret files—and that this is why full disclosures haven’t happened.
Within 24 hours, conservative influencers, GOP insiders, and former Trump allies were asking Musk to clarify—or back off.
Instead, Musk doubled down, tweeting again, “People are not ready for what’s coming. But it’s coming.”
As of June 6, Trump has not addressed the accusation, ignored press questions, and skipped media appearances.
Some speculate Trump’s team is avoiding a legal response to keep the story from blowing up even more.
Across both sides of the aisle, figures have called on Musk to release whatever information he claims to have. So far, he hasn’t.
Insiders say Musk may be preparing to drop a “data set” or “legal receipt,” though nothing has been confirmed.
“The truth always has a way of leaking out,” Musk tweeted last night. “Just a matter of time.”
If Musk’s right, this changes everything.
A pending court case may unseal more Epstein-related documents later this year. All eyes are now watching the calendar.
Whether this is tech mogul theater or the real deal, one thing’s for sure—this isn’t just a feud anymore. It’s a full-blown reckoning.
Musk deleted his Trump tweet but now demands the files are released.
MAGA activist Scott Presler wrote on X: “Release the unredacted Epstein files.”
And Musk responded with: “Yes.”
The FBI has seemingly responded by releasing their findings.
The Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a “client list” or was murdered.
They said:
“As part of our commitment to transparency, the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have conducted an exhaustive review of investigative holdings relating to Jeffrey Epstein. To ensure that the review was thorough, the FBI conducted digital searches of its databases, hard drives, and network drives as well as physical searches of squad areas, locked cabinets, desks, closets, and other areas where responsive material may have been stored. The searches uncovered a significant amount of material, including more than 300 gigabytes of data and physical evidence.”
“This systematic review revealed no incriminating “client list.” There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”
They also released footage to prove that Epstein acted alone when he took his own life.
“After a thorough investigation, FBI investigators concluded that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City on August 10, 2019.This conclusion is consistent with previous findings, including the August 19, 2019 autopsy findings of the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, the November 2019 position of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York in connection with the investigation of federal correctional officers responsible for guarding Epstein, and the June 2023 conclusions of DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General. The conclusion that Epstein died by suicide is further supported by video footage from the common area of the Special Housing Unit (SHU) where Epstein was housed at the time of his death.
