Elon Musk News / Musk's U-turn... first accused Trump, now he deleted the post

Elon Musk created controversy by making a big allegation on Trump related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. He claimed on X that Trump's name is in the Epstein files, but later deleted the post. Musk is in the news again due to this U-turn. Musk-Trump relations are now very tense.

Elon Musk News: Elon Musk, one of the world's most talked about entrepreneurs, is once again at the center of controversy. This time the confrontation is with former US President Donald Trump. The matter is related to Jeffrey Epstein, who committed suicide in 2019 and who was accused of serious charges like trafficking and sexual abuse of minor girls. Elon Musk had claimed that Trump's name is in Epstein's files, but now he has deleted this post from X (former Twitter). This U-turn has created a ruckus on social media.

What did Musk say?

Musk had made a sensational claim on X a few days ago:

"Now the time has come to make a big bang. Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. This is the reason why they have not been made public till now. Good luck, DJT."

He had also said that this post should be kept for the future, because "the truth will come out."

However, on Saturday he suddenly deleted this post, which further heated up the market of speculation.

Trump's name in Epstein case?

The Jeffrey Epstein case has been one of the most talked about sex trafficking cases in America. After his suspicious death in 2019, several files were made public, in which some high-profile names came to the fore. However, Donald Trump's name is not in the documents released so far. Musk claimed that some documents are still not revealed and Trump's name may be in them.

Questions raised on Musk's credibility

Elon Musk's move has raised questions on his intentions and credibility on social media. First making such big allegations and then deleting the post without clarification seemed irresponsible to many people. Critics say that such allegations were made only to spread sensation, which had no solid basis.

Trump and Musk's relationship soured

At one time, Elon Musk and Donald Trump's relationship was cordial. Musk worked with the government on climate and technology policies. But in the last few years, the relationship between the two has soured. Musk stepped away from roles in the Trump administration following differences over tax bills and policy. A war of words followed — with Trump accusing Musk of “betrayal,” Musk said Trump “cannot win the 2024 election without his support.”
