In a bold message posted on X, Musk wrote:
“Time to drop a truly massive bomb: Trump is in the Epstein files. That’s the real reason they haven’t been released. Have a nice day, Trump!”
The explosive remark immediately triggered a storm of reactions across American political and media circles. Many have labeled it the year’s biggest media shock, especially given that the accusation came from someone who, until just days ago, held a position in the Trump administration.
A Direct Attack on the Sitting President
Musk escalated his remarks in a follow-up post:
“Trump must be impeached. My suggestion: J.D. Vance should take his place.”
This unprecedented call comes shortly after Musk officially resigned from his role in the administration. He had been a key figure in the newly established “Department of Government Efficiency,” one of the hallmark initiatives of Trump’s second term in office.
Trump Responds: "Musk Is Crazy!"
In a sharp but brief response, Donald Trump dismissed Musk’s claims, calling him “crazy.” The White House has so far declined to issue an official statement regarding the Epstein-related allegation, maintaining public silence on the matter.
Epstein: A Scandal That Still Burns
Jeffrey Epstein, a prominent figure in US financial and social circles, died in jail in 2019 following his arrest on charges of trafficking underage girls. While police ruled his death a suicide, persistent questions remain about his connections to powerful political and economic figures.
Previously released documents have linked high-profile individuals to the case, including Prince Andrew, Bill Richardson, and George Mitchell. If Musk’s allegation about Trump proves accurate, it would implicate one of the most powerful people in the world in the long-running scandal.
From Cooperation to Confrontation?
Musk, who served as a special advisor in Trump’s government for 130 days, formally resigned last week. Some analysts interpret his latest post as a “delayed but devastating response” to behind-the-scenes tensions between him and the president.
