Elon Musk Claims Donald Trump ‘Is in the Epstein Files’: ‘That Is the Real Reason They Haven’t Been Made Public’

  • On June 5, 2025, Elon Musk publicly claimed on X that Donald Trump is included in the Jeffrey Epstein files, alleging this explains their nondisclosure.
  • This claim follows the February 27, 2025, Department of Justice release of 'The Epstein Files: Phase 1,' which were heavily redacted to protect victims and sparked demands for more disclosures.
  • Rep. Dan Goldman criticized the delayed comprehensive release, suggesting Trump may have intervened to block the files to hide embarrassing or potentially criminal conduct.
  • Trump had a longstanding relationship with Epstein during the 1990s, including flights on Epstein’s private jet, though Trump denies involvement in criminal activities and claims to have banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.
  • Musk's allegation intensified their public feud, leading Trump to threaten cutting Musk’s government contracts as Tesla's stock fell 14.3%, marking its largest single-day decline.
