Musk reignites conspiracy theory with Trump-Epstein claim
The Hindu
Elon Musk accuses Trump of being in Epstein files, sparking renewed calls for their release from Democrats.
With one tweet linking U.S. President Donald Trump with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, Elon Musk reignites a long-running conspiracy theory of the U.S. President's far right supporters.
The tech billionaire — who exited his role as a top White House advisor just last week — alleged on Thursday (June 5) that the Republican leader is featured in secret government files on rich and powerful former Epstein associates.
The Trump administration has acknowledged it is reviewing tens of thousands of documents, videos, and investigative material that his "MAGA" movement says will unmask public figures complicit in Epstein's crimes.
"Time to drop the really big bomb: (Trump) is in the Epstein files," Musk posted on his social media platform, X, as a growing feud with the president boiled over into a vicious public spat.
"That is the real reason they have not been made public."
Supporters on the conspiratorial end of Mr. Trump's base allege that Epstein's associates had their roles in his crimes covered up by government officials and others.
