In a move that has shocked even the most cynical political observers, Elon Musk has taken a scorched-earth approach against Donald Trump. And it involves the most radioactive name in American scandal. Jeffrey Epstein. Musk, never one to shy away from controversy, dropped a bombshell on X. He claimed that Trump appears in the still-sealed Epstein files. However, Musk didn’t offer evidence. And soon, the internet exploded. “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,” Musk posted. “That is the real reason they have not been made public.” And just like that, what was once a cold war between two powerful egos has turned into an open battlefield.
What Are Epstein Files?
The post wasn’t a one-off. Musk doubled down, telling his followers to “mark this post” and declaring, “The truth will come out.” The implication? That Trump’s name in the Epstein documents is the reason why the full files have remained buried for so long. No documents have been released yet. No names confirmed. But the suggestion alone is nuclear. Especially given the mystique around the so-called Epstein files, which have long been rumored to contain the names of elite figures with ties to Epstein’s dark web of influence.

Have a nice day, DJT!
Musk’s accusation isn’t coming out of thin air. It’s the latest and most explosive chapter in his deepening feud with Trump. The two had been on uneasy terms for months. But the real unraveling came after Musk publicly condemned Trump’s hallmark tax and spending package. Calling it a “disgusting abomination” packed with waste and cronyism, Musk publicly turned his back on the man many believe helped boost his business profile.
Trump didn’t take it lying down. Lashing back in front of reporters, he painted Musk as ungrateful and delusional. “I’m very disappointed in Elon,” Trump said, hinting that Musk had benefited immensely from his presidency. He even claimed the billionaire was suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
But there may be more than hurt feelings behind Musk’s eruption. Just days ago, Musk abruptly resigned from DOGE. The Trump-backed Department of Government Efficiency, sparking questions about internal fractures. And when Trump floated the idea that Musk was angry over EV incentives being slashed, Musk firmly denied it. Instead, he redirected the spotlight. Straight onto Trump and the Epstein files.
