Elon Musk Questions Trump's Credibility Amid Epstein Files Row
Elon Musk, once an ally of former US President Donald Trump, has once again brought the Jeffrey Epstein controversy into the spotlight. The tech billionaire publicly questioned Trump’s credibility over the unresolved Jeffrey Epstein case, accusing the government of shielding offenders and calling it “deeply broken.”
In a series of posts on X, Musk criticized Trump for not releasing the so-called “Epstein client list” and mocked the lack of arrests, even suggesting the former president may be implicated. He later retracted this claim.
“They arrested (and killed) Peanut, but have not even tried to file charges against anyone on the Epstein client list. Govt is deeply broken," said Musk.
On Tuesday, Trump avoided answering a question by a reporter on the Jeffrey Epstein case and said, “You are a waste of time,” stressing that the country is dealing with “other issues” like the Texas flood.
The US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation concluded that sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was not murdered, as per Axios. The memo suggested that Epstein allegedly died by suicide and also did not keep a “client list.”
Earlier this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi made a claim that a “client list” was apparently sitting on his desk for review, which fueled speculation. But an announcement by the DOJ debunked such claims.
Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of being a sexual offender and was accused of running a vast network of underage girls for sex. He died in 2019 while in custody.
