Musk's assertion comes as scrutiny around the Epstein files continues to intensify.
In a recent statement,
Elon Musk, the CEO of
Tesla and SpaceX, made allegations concerning former President
Donald Trump's connection to the Jeffrey Epstein files.
On June 6, 2025, Musk used his platform, X, to assert that Trump has refrained from releasing the files due to his presence within them.
Musk's post read, "Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files.
That is the real reason they have not been made public.
Have a nice day, DJT!" He further encouraged followers to "mark this post for the future" and implied that the truth would eventually emerge.
The Epstein files have remained a subject of public interest and speculation since the financier's arrest and subsequent death in 2019, with various high-profile individuals being scrutinized regarding their associations with Epstein.
The allegations made by Musk have not been confirmed and come amidst ongoing discussions surrounding the legal and societal implications of Epstein's network and the mysteries surrounding his case.
