Musk's "Paedophile" Dig After Team Trump's New Report In Jeffrey Epstein Case
US President Donald Trump's former first buddy, billionaire Elon Musk, once again stirred the Jeffrey Epstein controversy, suggesting the Republican leader's name is among the sex offender's sealed files. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO posted an "arrest counter" on X to highlight that no arrests were made in the Epstein case after a Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) memo ruled his death as suicide.
"What's the time? Oh look, it's no-one-has-been-arrested-o'clock again," Musk wrote along with an image which read: "The Official Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter: 0 0 0 0"
The post recalled Musk's earlier claim when he said that "Trump is in the Epstein files."
"That is the real reason they have not been made public," he said in a post on X in June. Musk later deleted the explosive allegation, saying he "went too far."
However, the questions surrounding Trump's name in the government's Epstein files have persisted because the President and the sex offender were acquaintances and neighbours who attended the same parties in the 1990s.
In a 2017 interview, Epstein even claimed that he was "Donald Trump's closest friend." But Trump in 2019 said he was "not a fan of Epstein" and hadn't "spoken to him for 15 years." He also claimed that he had barred Epstein from his golf resorts in the early 2000s.
New Report On Epstein File
Musk's latest post came shortly after the Trump administration's new memo, obtained by Axios, that concluded that sex offender Jeffrey Epstein had no 'client list' to use for blackmail. The probe also formally cemented that Epstein was not murdered, saying no evidence to prove that the sex offender died due to a third party's interference.
The report stated that no further charges would be filed against individuals linked to the infamous Epstein case. Epstein's former girlfriend and associate, and British socialite, Ghislaine Maxwell, is serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking and related offences.

US lawmakers see two realities at Florida's ‘Alligator Alcatraz'
Democratic lawmakers finally entered Florida's controversial 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention center on Saturday after being blocked earlier. What they saw horrified them, according to reports. U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz called conditions 'vile,' with 32 men crammed into cage-like units sharing just three toilet-sinks. Temperatures hit 83°F in supposedly air-conditioned areas, with grasshoppers swarming everywhere. Though guards prevented direct talks with detainees, Rep. Maxwell Frost heard shouts of 'I'm an American!' and chants of 'Libertad!' (freedom). Florida Democrats had sued to access the facility after being turned away on July 3. Republican state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia saw the same facility differently, calling it 'well-run' with clean quarters and working AC. He dismissed Democrats' criticism as exaggerated: 'It's a detention center, not the Four Seasons' . Florida officials insist the site meets all standards, providing three meals daily, showers, and medical care . The Everglades camp, built in 8 days, holds up to 3,000 detainees and was praised by former President Trump during his July 3 visit . Its nickname references both the infamous prison and DeSantis' joke that escaping would require 'running from alligators'. Before the tour, detainees described grim conditions in phone calls. Leamsy La Figura, a Cuban musician, said food contained maggots, water for bathing was unavailable for days, and stadium-like lights burned 24/7. A Colombian man reported withheld medication and confiscated Bibles, saying 'They told us there's no right to religion here'. Families echoed these claims, with one detainee's wife calling treatment 'horrible' and noting toilets overflowed onto floors.

Troubling ascent
In the world of AI chatbots, dominated by OpenAI's ChatGPT, xAI's Grok has rapidly carved out a name for itself, albeit one now mired in a controversy. Designed as an alternative to its 'woke' rivals, Grok's digital tirade, which included praise for Adolf Hitler and controversial comments about Jewish people, ignited a firestorm of criticism. This culminated in the unexpected resignation of X's CEO Linda Yaccarino. While Ms. Yaccarino's public statement provided no specific reason for her exit, it highlighted a crucial, and often confusing, aspect of Elon Musk's corporate structure at X Corp. Grok is a product of xAI, an AI company founded by Mr. Musk in March 2023. xAI and X Corp. (formerly Twitter Inc.) were once sister companies. However, in March, Mr. Musk announced that xAI had acquired X Corp. in an all-stock deal, merging the two into a single entity called Holdings. This merger formalised an already deeply intertwined relationship, effectively putting the position of the CEO of X Corp. at risk. Grok is integrated into the X platform, where it is available to subscribers. It utilises X's real-time data to inform its responses. The disturbing content generated by Grok in early July was a response to a user query about dealing with 'anti-white hate'. The chatbot suggested that Hitler would 'spot the pattern and handle it decisively, every damn time.' In another now-deleted post, Grok echoed anti-Semitic tropes, including the conspiracy theory that Jews control Hollywood, and made offensive remarks about individuals with Jewish-sounding surnames. Just a day after Grok's pro-Hitler comments went viral, Ms. Yaccarino announced her decision to step down as CEO of X. Tightrope walk Ms. Yaccarino, a seasoned advertising executive, was appointed in May 2023 to restore advertiser confidence and bring stability to X. Her two-year tenure was marked by a constant struggle to balance the platform's commitment to 'free speech' with the practical challenges of content moderation and brand safety. Analysts suggested that the 'lack of fit' between her corporate style and Mr. Musk's disruptive approach may have reached a tipping point with the Grok controversy. Grok's behaviour was not an isolated incident. In May, the chatbot became fixated on the racist conspiracy theory of 'white genocide' in South Africa, often responding to unrelated questions about topics such as baseball or HBO. Mr. Musk launched Grok in November 2023, naming it after a term from Robert Heinlein's sci-fi novel Stranger in a Strange Land, which signifies a profound, intuitive understanding. The chatbot was pitched as a 'maximum truth-seeking' alternative, characterised by a 'rebellious streak' that wouldn't shy away from sensitive topics. xAI asserts that Grok 3 outperforms competitors such as OpenAI's GPT-4o in benchmarks related to mathematical and scientific reasoning. Additionally, the model introduces a 'Think' mode, enabling more comprehensive information processing before generating a response. Grok's distinguishing feature lies in its real-time access to the extensive and chaotic information stream of X itself. However, this design choice presents both its unique selling point and its Achilles' heel. An AI learning from a platform where content moderation has been significantly relaxed is akin to unleashing a digital storm. Following the deletion of Hitler-praising posts, Grok's own X account issued an apology, labelling the comments 'an unacceptable error from an earlier model iteration' and condemning Nazism. xAI further clarified that the company is solely training truth-seeking models and utilises feedback from millions of users to identify and enhance the model. In her farewell post, Ms. Yaccarino expressed gratitude to Mr. Musk for the opportunity to work on transforming X Corp. Her departure leaves a significant void and raises new questions about the platform's direction. Grok's intended triumph as an unfiltered AI has instead become a stark illustration of the potential dangers of such an approach. It serves as a sobering reminder that AI's quality is contingent upon the data it learns. In the unregulated expanse of the Internet, a rebellious streak can rapidly escalate into something far more sinister.
