Elon Musk, the head of both SpaceX and Tesla, has publicly questioned the findings of the Trump administration’s Justice Department and FBI regarding the death of Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender. The authorities had reported that Epstein committed suicide with no evidence suggesting that the disgraced financier maintained a “client list.”
Previously, during a disagreement with President Donald Trump, Musk indicated that the Department of Justice was withholding Epstein’s files because the president was named in them. However, according to reliable sources, Axios reported that both the DOJ and FBI found Epstein’s suicide to be clear and no evidence of a “client list.”
Musk, in the early hours of Monday, took to his social media platform to express skepticism about the Epstein news. “What’s the time? Oh look, it’s no-one-has-been-arrested-o’clock again,” the CEO wrote. He added an image labeled, “The Official Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter” with the numerals “0000.”
When an online user suggested that any existing evidence would be widely publicized, Musk responded: “Unless both sides were guilty.” Following this, in a reply to another user, Musk stated: “This is the final straw.”
Musk had insinuated that President Trump’s name was included in the Epstein files. The former head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency also reportedly clashed with his former boss over a tax cut and spending bill.
Musk, interestingly, has recently proposed the creation of a new U.S. political party, the “America Party.” This news came after President Trump signed into law a tax cut and spending bill, which Musk vehemently opposed.
The Epstein case continues to generate controversy and conflicting opinions. The significance of this should not be overlooked. As this story unfolds further, the importance of fact-checking, verification, and maintaining the public’s right to information remains paramount.
