JD Vance jumps to Trump’s defence amid Elon Musk’s bombshell claims about Jeffrey Epstein files during online argument
Former allies **Donald Trump** and **Elon Musk** engaged in a heated public feud after Musk accused Trump of being named in **Jeffrey Epstein’s files**, suggesting this was why the documents remain sealed. The clash began when Musk criticized Trump’s **spending bill**, calling it wasteful, to which Trump responded by expressing disappointment in Musk’s remarks. Musk then escalated the dispute by tweeting, *”Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files.”*
Trump’s **Vice President, JD Vance**, stepped in, defending the president and dismissing Musk’s claims. Trump later fired back on **Truth Social**, claiming he had revoked Musk’s **EV mandate** and that the Tesla CEO “went crazy” as a result. The feud marks a dramatic breakdown in their once-close relationship, which began when Musk served in Trump’s **Department of Government Efficiency** before resigning in May. Neither Musk nor Trump provided evidence for their claims, leaving the online spat unresolved.
