The relationship between Musk and U.S. President Trump has completely broken down. On the social media platform "X," Musk dropped a bombshell on the 5th, claiming that Trump is on the late "high-profile pimp" Epstein's list, which is the real reason he doesn't want the list to be exposed.
Musk wrote: "It's time to drop the real bomb. Trump is on Epstein's list, and that's why he doesn't want the list to be exposed. Have a nice day, DJT (Trump’s initials)!"
He said: "Save this article for future reference. The truth will always come out."
During his lifetime, Epstein was associated with a large number of political and business elites, with a list of close acquaintances including Trump, former U.S. President Bill Clinton and his wife, and Britain’s Prince Andrew. Epstein and Trump had interactions in elite circles from the 1990s to the early 2000s, often attending high-society parties together. It is said that they later fell out in 2004 due to a real estate transaction, with Trump going so far as to ban Epstein from entering Mar-a-Lago.
Epstein was accused of paying underage girls for sexual acts at his mansions in Manhattan and Florida between 2002 and 2005; he was also alleged to have paid hush money to two witnesses. On August 10, 2019, while awaiting trial, he was found dead in a New York Manhattan jail, with the autopsy report stating that he died by suicide. There has been endless speculation about his mysterious death in the public, with numerous conspiracy theories focusing on the relationship between politicians and Epstein and whether they might have played a role in his death.
During the 2024 presidential election, Trump promised to release the full archives of the Epstein case if elected. Earlier this year, the Trump administration released a batch of first-phase declassified documents disclosed by the Attorney General, but most of them had already been exposed by the media over the past few years and did not contain new explosive content. In April this year, when Trump was asked when more Epstein documents would be released, he only stated he would discuss it with the Attorney General, claiming the administration was committed to full transparency but did not provide a specific timeline.
