Musk Deletes Post Linking Trump to Epstein
Washington, D.C. — A highly charged digital spat between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump has taken a dramatic turn after the billionaire entrepreneur posted—and later deleted—a provocative claim linking the president to the files of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The claim, posted on Musk’s social media platform X (formerly Twitter), came amid an intensifying fallout between the tech magnate and the White House. “Time to drop the really big bomb: [Trump] is in the Epstein files,” Musk wrote in the now-deleted post. He added, “That is the real reason they have not been made public.”
The allegation, devoid of evidence or clarification, sent shockwaves across Washington and the digital public sphere. It briefly fueled speculation about the extent of what remains concealed in the extensive trove of documents related to Epstein’s trafficking network—many of which remain sealed or heavily redacted.
The Deleted Post and Its Implications
Musk’s assertion came as tensions between the Tesla founder and the Trump administration boiled over this past week. The dispute followed Musk’s public condemnation of a federal spending bill supported by the White House, which he labeled an “abomination” that could define Trump’s second term.
Although Musk doubled down in a follow-up post—urging followers to “mark this post for the future”—both messages were removed from the platform by Saturday morning. No official reason has been given for the deletion.
The White House has so far declined to comment directly on Musk’s claim. However, a senior administration source confirmed to Parrot Newspaper that Trump officials are “reviewing tens of thousands of pages” of Epstein-related materials, including videos and statements collected during prior investigations. The source would not confirm whether the president’s name appears in any unreleased portion of those records.
Background: Trump, Epstein, and the Public Record
Trump’s social and geographic proximity to Epstein has long drawn scrutiny. The former president and the late financier were neighbors in both Palm Beach, Florida, and New York. In a now-infamous 2002 quote, Trump described Epstein as a “terrific guy” who liked “beautiful women, many of them on the younger side.”
Despite this, Trump has repeatedly denied any involvement in or knowledge of Epstein’s illicit activities and has denied ever visiting Epstein’s private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands—known as Little Saint James—where many of the most egregious crimes allegedly occurred.
Legal experts note that Trump was named in documents unsealed in early 2024 by a New York judge. However, as of this publication, the president has not been accused of wrongdoing in any court filings.
Conspiracy Theories and Selective Outrage
While Musk’s deleted post has revived speculation on the contents of Epstein’s files, it has also exposed the selective narratives advanced by some members of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) base. For years, MAGA-aligned commentators have insisted that Epstein’s crimes were covered up to protect powerful liberals, Democrats, and Hollywood elites—frequently omitting Trump from their list of alleged co-conspirators.
Musk’s message, though brief, challenged this assumption head-on.
“The post was either reckless or revelatory,” said Dr. Amanda Green, a political communications expert at Georgetown University. “Given Musk’s access and influence, even vague innuendo from him carries serious weight. But without evidence, it reads more like a digital grenade thrown in the middle of a power struggle.”
A Political and Economic Rift
The fallout between Musk and Trump has also raised questions about the broader political and financial implications. Just last week, Trump praised Musk during a press conference marking the billionaire’s departure from a short-lived advisory role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Their détente unraveled within days. Trump responded to Musk’s spending bill criticism with a fiery Oval Office address. The rift quickly escalated into a broader public clash, drawing millions of views on social media and unsettling markets that had become accustomed to the pair’s uneasy alliance.
However, by Friday evening, both men signaled a potential cooling of hostilities. “I just wish him well,” Trump told reporters. Musk echoed the sentiment online with a terse “Likewise.” Still, a White House official confirmed to Parrot Newspaper that there are no current plans for a direct meeting between the two.
What Comes Next?
With Epstein-related records still largely out of public view and Musk refusing to clarify his explosive claim, serious questions linger. Is there evidence tying Trump to Epstein’s criminal enterprise, or was Musk’s post a tactical maneuver in a political feud?
Without further documentation, the answer remains elusive. But one thing is clear: the worlds of politics, tech, and scandal are now more entangled than ever—and the truth, if it exists, lies buried in files that the public may never see. Musk Deletes Post Linking Trump to Epstein
