In a dramatic twist to an already escalating public feud, tech billionaire Elon Musk has deleted a controversial post in which he appeared to link U.S. President Donald Trump to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The post, reportedly made during Musk’s ongoing online confrontation with Trump this week, claimed that the former president was mentioned in unreleased government documents related to Epstein — who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.
Musk, who recently resigned from his post as a senior White House advisor, took to his social media platform X on Thursday to make the unverified claim. “Time to drop the really big bomb: (Trump) is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public,” he wrote.
The bombshell statement shocked users online and further deepened the rift between the two powerful figures. Elon Musk didn’t specify which documents he was referring to and provided no evidence to back the claim. However, in a follow-up post, he doubled down, stating: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”
By Saturda morning, both posts had been deleted, raising further questions and speculation around the billionaire’s motivations and the validity of his assertions.
Trump has previously acknowledged knowing Epstein and having socialized with him but has consistently denied ever visiting Little Saint James, Epstein’s private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where investigators alleged he trafficked underage girls. Although Trump’s name appeared in a batch of unsealed court documents earlier this year, he has not been accused of any wrongdoing in connection to the case.
Adding complexity to the feud is the Trump administration’s recent confirmation that it is reviewing a significant volume of documents, video evidence, and investigative material tied to Epstein. According to officials, Trump’s MAGA movement believes these materials could implicate prominent public figures.
The once-warm relationship between Elon Musk and Trump appeared to unravel quickly. Just last week, Trump gave Musk a glowing farewell as he stepped down from his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). However, tensions boiled over when Elon Musk criticized a proposed spending bill — central to Trump’s policy agenda — calling it “an abomination.”
Trump responded with a fiery rant from the Oval Office, triggering an all-out public feud. The fallout between the tech titan and the president has captivated political observers and social media users alike, marking one of the most high-profile political breakups in recent memory.
As the dust settles, one thing is clear: the Musk-Trump alliance, once seen as a powerful force in Washington, has come to a dramatic and very public end.
