It was Musk himself who wrenched the Epstein affair back into public consciousness during his first open spat with Trump in June. In a now-deleted X post, Musk wrote, “@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.” Trump has not been officially accused of any wrongdoing connected to Epstein.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk piled on to ongoing MAGA outrage against President Donald Trump and his administration in a late-night posting spree over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking case.

"When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy," Musk said in the announcement.

A screen shot of Trump’s post was shared on X by Shibetoshi Nakamoto who wrote, “this is in the running for worst post ever made.” Musk responded by writing, “Seriously. He said ‘Epstein’ half a dozen times while telling everyone to stop talking about Epstein. Just release the files.”
