In new tweets, Elon Musk has claimed that the reason the US administration has not released the Epstein Files in full is because President Donald Trump is mentioned in them.
The once-friendly relationship between Elon Musk and Donald Trump seems to have come to an end, with both men now publicly trading barbs.
In new tweets, Elon Musk has claimed that the reason the US administration has not released the Epstein Files in full is because President Donald Trump is mentioned in them.
"@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public," he said in a post on Thursday night, June 5, on X.
He signed off his tweet with "Have a nice day, DJT!"
That is a reference to the Justice Department records concerning the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who allegedly procured underage girls for s£x for a string of famous names.
The Tesla and SpaceX chief was a former close advisor of Trump and headed the newly-created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) before his departure last week.
DOGE, a controversial department, was tasked with shrinking the government and saw thousands of federal jobs axed.
Since his departure, he has taken a swipe at Trump's tax-cut and spending bill, calling it a "disgusting abomination."
In a post on Truth Social on Thursday evening, Trump said he had asked Musk to leave the administration, saying he was "wearing thin" and accusing him of going “CRAZY!”
