Musk tweaks Trump with Jeffrey Epstein post

UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – Elon Musk challenged the Trump administration's claim that no Epstein client list exists, citing over 1,000 victims in the case and accusing officials of a cover-up, according to multiple sources.

  • Elon Musk publicly accused President Donald Trump of being named in the sealed Jeffrey Epstein files and mocked him with a meme on social media on July 7, 2025.
  • This escalation followed Trump’s 2019 arrest of Epstein on federal sex-trafficking charges and Epstein’s subsequent death ruled a suicide amid challenges to that ruling.
  • Musk also alleged that Steve Bannon, a Trump ally, was included in the files and reacted to claims that Bannon filmed Epstein for a never-released documentary.
  • Despite widespread theories, a Justice Department memo found no evidence Epstein blackmailed officials or maintained a client list, and no new charges are forthcoming; Trump denied ties stating, "I was never on Epstein's Plane, or at his 'stupid' Island."
  • The dispute has intensified a feud between Musk and Trump, with Trump threatening to cancel federal contracts linked to Musk and criticizing Musk’s new political party ambitions.
