Amid the very public feud unfolding Thursday between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, the world’s richest man dropped what he claimed was a “really big bomb” — that the president appears in disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s unreleased criminal files.
“Mark this post for the future,” he wrote. “The truth will come out.”
Musk has previously used social media to make and amplify false claims, and he offered no evidence that there are links between Trump and Epstein beyond what is already publicly known. The White House dismissed the claim as an “unfortunate episode” for Musk.
Trump’s association with Epstein, a multimillionaire who died while in jail facing sex trafficking charges, has been public for years, though Trump has said he was “not a fan” of Epstein’s and had cut off ties to the financier before he was taken into custody. Here’s a rundown of the Epstein files and what we know about Trump’s relationship with the convicted sex offender.
