Musk drops bomb, says Trump name in Epstein files
Elon Musk Thursday alleged that Trump’s name is in the Epstein Files and that’s the reason why the administration is not releasing the list.In a post on his own platform X, Musk wrote, “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!”“Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out,” he further added.In his post, Musk’s ‘big bomb’ allegations is something different, not just casual or social association, though Tesla CEO did not provide any insight into his claim. It seems that he hints that more truths about Epstein and Trump’s associations are in the unreleased files.
What are the Epstein files?
Epstein files encompass numerous court documents, particularly court records, connected to Jeffrey Epstein, a financial executive and convicted sex offender who passed away in 2019. These records, predominantly from Virginia Giuffre’s 2015 defamation case against Ghislaine Maxwell, an Epstein associate, contain flight records, witness statements, contact directories and additional evidence linked to Epstein’s conduct. The files identify several prominent individuals who maintained social, professional or other connections with Epstein.The presence of names in these documents does not automatically suggest misconduct, as numerous individuals encountered Epstein in casual social settings.The US Department of Justice, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, has disclosed these documents progressively, with substantial portions made public in January 2024 and February 2025.
Is Trump’s name there in Epstein files?
This is not a hidden fact that Trump’s name is in these documents, particularly within flight manifests of Epstein’s private aircraft, the “Lolita Express.” Documentation shows Trump travelled on this aircraft seven times during 1993-1997, predominantly between Palm Beach, Florida, and New York City. These journeys included his former spouse Marla Maples, their daughter Tiffany, a nanny, whilst Jeffrey Epstein was listed amongst passengers on several occasions.Epstein accuser Johanna Sjoberg’s statement references an occurrence in 2001 when Epstein’s aircraft was redirected to Atlantic City, whereupon Epstein proposed visiting one of Trump’s gambling establishments. Trump’s details appear in Epstein’s contact directory alongside other notable individuals including Ivana Trump and Mick Jagger. In a 2002 interview, Trump described Epstein as a ‘terrific’ guy, though he subsequently separated himself from association following the emergence of accusations against Epstein.
Feud between Musk and Trump
Trump and Musk, once political allies, are now embroiled in a public feud sparked by disagreements over the government’s ‘ne Big Beautiful’ bill. Musk sharply criticised the legislation, calling it “a disgusting abomination” and urging Americans to “kill the bill.” In response, Trump expressed his disappointment, claiming he had cut Musk out of key EV policy decisions and stripped him of influence in Washington.
