Truce Or Pressure? Musk Now Deletes Shocking Epstein Claim Against Trump From X

In a new twist in the Donald Trump and Elon Musk feud, the tech billionaire has now deleted one of his most controversial posts against the US president. Days ago, Elon Musk accused Trump of being named in the sealed Jeffrey Epstein files.

This was one of the most grave allegations against Trump, a sitting US president. The "Epstein files" refer to a collection of documents related to the criminal investigations of Jeffrey Epstein, a financier and convicted sex offender who was accused of running a vast network of underage girls for sex.

"Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files," he posted on X. "That is the real reason they have not been made public."

These files allegedly include flight logs, Epstein's "black book," and an evidence list detailing items seized from his properties, such as recording devices and disturbing photos. And the Space X CEO had claimed that Trump was one of the big and mighty individuals allegedly linked to Epstein's alleged sex trafficking network.

When the sensational post was made, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Musk's Epstein post "is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' because it does not include the policies he wanted."

And, it seems like Musk has now deleted the post claiming that Trump's name is mentioned in the Epstein files, as it is no longer available.

The feud began when Musk criticised Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," which is a major tax and spending plan, calling it "disgusting" and blaming it for increasing the federal deficit. Trump then accused Musk of going against him because of proposed cuts to electric vehicle subsidies. Musk denied the claim.

He also endorsed a message from right-wing commentator Ian Miles Cheong demanding the US president's impeachement that read, "President vs Elon. Who wins? My money’s on Elon. Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him." Musk replied to the post, writing, "Yes."

After the very bitter fallout, Donald Trump, in a series of media appearances, made it clear he has no intention of speaking to Elon Musk anytime soon. "I'm not even thinking about Elon. He’s got a problem. The poor guy's got a problem," Donald Trump told CNN. In a separate interview with ABC News, the US President was even more blunt, calling Elon Musk "a man who has lost his mind."
