Elon Musk Claims Donald Trump ‘Is in the Epstein Files’: ‘That Is the Real Reason They Haven’t Been Made Public’

  • On June 5, 2025, Elon Musk publicly claimed on X that Donald Trump is included in the Jeffrey Epstein files, sparking renewed controversy.
  • This claim followed the February 27, 2025 release of heavily redacted documents titled "The Epstein Files: Phase 1," with Rep. Dan Goldman noting a 74-day delay for a full report and no explanation.
  • Goldman expressed grave concern about a possible effort, potentially directed by Trump, to delay or prevent the release of files due to Trump’s longstanding ties to Epstein and Maxwell.
  • Musk’s accusation intensified the feud as Trump threatened to cut government contracts with Musk’s companies, causing Tesla’s stock to drop 14.3%, losing approximately $150 billion in market value.
  • The dispute underscores deepening tensions between Musk and Trump and suggests the Epstein file controversy may continue to affect political and business relations.
