Elon Musk urges release of Epstein files weeks after accusing Trump of being named in them
Musk calls for Epstein files release in renewed Trump feud
- Elon Musk has renewed his calls for the release of the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files, responding with "Yes" to a MAGA activist's demand on X.
- This renewed demand follows Musk's previous accusation, made weeks prior, that Donald Trump was mentioned in the sealed Epstein documents.
- The tech billionaire's latest call came shortly after Donald Trump threatened Musk with government scrutiny and suggested he might have to "go back to South Africa."
- Musk's initial claims about Trump's connection to the Epstein files stemmed from an earlier fallout over Donald Trump's "pork-filled" tax bill, which Musk criticised as pushing the US into "debt slavery."
- Despite his earlier accusations, Musk later expressed regret for some of his posts about Donald Trump, stating they "went too far."
