'Epstein' file claim in the crisis between Musk and Trump: Time to drop the bomb

The crisis between US businessman Elon Musk, who recently left his post at the White House and has been making harsh criticisms regarding the tax cut bill on Congress's agenda, and US President Donald Trump is deepening.

Most recently, Musk claimed that Trump's name is in the Epstein files and said, "It is time to drop the really big bomb." Musk alleged that the reason the Epstein files have not been made public is because Trump's name appears in them.

Trump stated today that he was very disappointed by what Musk said, saying, "I had a very good relationship with Elon, but I don't know if that relationship is going well anymore. I am very disappointed in Elon, even though I helped him a lot."

Responding to Trump's statements on his X account, Musk commented, "If it weren't for me, Trump would have lost the election. The Democrats would control the House of Representatives, and the Republicans would have a 51-49 majority in the Senate."

Referring to Trump's previous X posts regarding the treasury debt burden, Elon Musk had also posted, "Where is this guy today?" and "The Big Ugly Bill will increase the budget deficit by another 2.5 trillion dollars!"

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!

EPSTEIN FILES

US Attorney General Pam Bondi released government documents in February regarding Jeffrey Epstein, who committed suicide while being accused of creating a sexual abuse network targeting young girls.

However, the first batch of documents published on the Department of Justice's website consisted of information that had been circulating in the public domain for years, and therefore did not have a significant impact on the Epstein case.
