Elon Musk Makes Major U-Turn On Trump Epstein Claims
Elon Musk has retracted his explosive claim that Donald Trump appears in Jeffrey Epstein’s sealed files after the former president threatened “serious consequences.” The Tesla CEO initially tweeted that Trump’s alleged inclusion explained why the documents remain hidden, but later deleted the posts without explanation. This abrupt reversal followed Trump’s warning that Musk would face repercussions if he supported Democratic campaigns, signaling a complete breakdown in their relationship.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the spat an “unfortunate episode,” noting Musk had previously praised Trump’s policies. Observers speculate Musk’s tweet deletion may reflect cold feet after Trump’s threats, though neither party has clarified the about-face. The clash highlights growing tensions between two of America’s most powerful figures amid political and personal disputes.
