In what might be his boldest post yet, Elon Musk just pointed fingers at one of the most powerful figures in U.S. politics: Donald Trump.
On June 4, 2025, at 3:10 PM EDT, Musk tweeted:
“Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”
It was blunt. It was direct. And it shook social media to its core.
So… What Are the Epstein Files?
The “Epstein files” refer to thousands of documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire who ran an alleged sex trafficking ring involving underage girls and powerful people.
These files include:
Flight logs from Epstein’s private jet (“The Lolita Express”) Contact books with names and phone numbers Court documents from victims, witnesses, and legal cases Sealed evidence from criminal investigations
Not everyone listed in these files did something illegal — but being in them raises questions, especially if someone’s name shows up in sealed or redacted sections that the public hasn’t seen yet.
Trump and Epstein: What We Know
Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein definitely knew each other.
They were seen at parties together in the 1990s. Trump was quoted in 2002 saying Epstein “likes beautiful women… on the younger side.” Epstein reportedly visited Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club.
Later, Trump claimed he “kicked Epstein out” and cut ties.
But here’s the thing: Trump’s name has already appeared in Epstein’s known contact book. What Musk is suggesting is that Trump is also named in parts of the files that are still sealed — and that’s why those documents aren’t being released.
Musk vs. Trump: More Than Just Politics?
This feud has been building for months. Trump’s recent policies hurt electric vehicle makers like Tesla, and Musk hasn’t held back in criticizing him. But this post wasn’t about money — it was a direct accusation, hinting at something darker.
Musk hasn’t shown proof — yet. But he clearly wants the pressure turned up on whoever is blocking full release of the Epstein records.
So Who’s Telling the Truth?
We don’t know — yet.
But one thing’s clear: Elon Musk wouldn’t drop a name like Trump’s in this context unless he wanted maximum attention. And he got it.
Now the big question: Will this finally push those sealed Epstein files into the open?
