Tech billionaire Elon Musk has retracted a shocking social media allegation linking Donald Trump to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein amid a heated public clash with the U.S. president this week.
Musk, who recently stepped down as a top White House adviser, alleged Thursday that Trump appears in unreleased government files concerning Epstein’s associates. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while facing sex trafficking charges.
The Trump administration has confirmed it is reviewing tens of thousands of documents, videos and investigative materials that the “MAGA” movement says will expose public figures tied to Epstein’s crimes.
Trump was named in a collection of depositions and statements related to Epstein that were unsealed by a New York judge in early 2024. He has not been accused of any wrongdoing in the case.
“Time to drop the really big bomb: (Trump) is in the Epstein files,” Musk posted on his social media platform X as his growing feud with the president boiled over into a spectacularly public row.
