In a sudden turn of events, Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, has leveled new accusations against US President Donald Trump on Twitter, a platform he owns. Musk’s tweet, posted on Thursday, read, “Time to drop the really big bomb” and “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.” The tweet concluded with “Have a nice day, DJT!”
Musk, who was a vocal supporter of Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign and the early years of his presidency, has made a surprising U-turn in recent weeks. On Thursday, he even launched a poll on his platform, asking whether it’s time for a new party that represents the “80 percent in the middle” of society.
The tweet’s reference to the Epstein files is likely to spark intense speculation and scrutiny. Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender and financier, was accused of running a sex trafficking ring and had ties to prominent and high-ranking individuals, including politicians. In 2019, he was charged with running a sex trafficking ring and his death in prison custody sparked a justice scandal and raised questions about the possibility of foul play.
Donald Trump’s close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has been well-documented, with numerous photos and videos showing a strong bond between the two men. The recent developments have added a new layer of intrigue to the complex web of connections surrounding Epstein’s case.
