Musk deletes explosive posts about Trump and Epstein files
From bringing the heat to retreating on the beef. Elon Musk appears to be backtracking on some of the wild accusations he made during his ugly spat with President Donald Trump earlier this week. Musk sensationally posted on Thursday that the president's name appears in unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files — and said that's why the files haven't been made public. "@RealDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files," Musk wrote on X. "That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" Musk followed the post with another, saying, "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out." President Trump Teases 'Last Day, But Not Really' For Elon Musk At Doge: Oval Office Presser Set For Friday Read On The Fox News App But eagle-eyed online sleuths noticed that Musk had quietly deleted the posts. The former "First Buddy" dropped the allegation in response to a back-and-forth series of social media messages between him and Trump. But as of today, the post has been removed from the Tesla CEO's timeline. The post wasn't the only one he deleted: Musk also appears to have taken down a post endorsing a message that read, "Trump should be impeached" and that Vance "should replace him." Musk shared the post and wrote "yes," but his comment is no longer visible. The beef between Musk and Trump exploded onto the national scene this week with the SpaceX CEO publicly blasting Trump's major legislation, the Big Beautiful bill, for increasing the deficit by around $2.5 trillion. The feud came despite a months-long "bromance" between the pair, with Musk donating around $277 million to Trump's campaign and enthusiastically supporting his return to office. Trump's return to office also saw Musk oversee the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for months. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in the aftermath of Musk's post that it was an "unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted." Jeffrey Epstein List: Ag Pam Bondi Releases Highly Anticipated Doj Documents The White House said a source familiar with the Epstein matter said it is widely known that Trump kicked Epstein out of his Palm Beach Golf Club. The source also pointed out that the administration released the Epstein files, which included Trump's name, and nothing was new about Musk's revelation. "If Elon truly thought the President was more deeply involved with Epstein, why did he hang out with him for 6 months and say he 'loves him as much as a straight man can love a straight man?'" the source said. Musk's bombshell allegation against Trump comes months after a trove of files pertaining to the Epstein case were released. In February, Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel explaining the delay in the release of documents and placing blame on an FBI field office in New York. Bondi said she requested the full Epstein case file before Patel was confirmed as the head of the FBI and received about 200 pages — far fewer than the number of pages released last year in a civil lawsuit connected to Ghisalaine Maxwell, the trafficker's former lover and convicted accomplice. Although Bondi pushed for the release of the full dossier, which included records, documents, audio and video recordings, and materials related to Epstein and his clients, the request remains unfulfilled. One of the key pieces that remains unreleased is a client list, though Bondi claimed in February it was on her desk to be reviewed. The documents that have been released so far include flight logs, an evidence list, a contact book and a redacted "masseuse list" believed to refer to Epstein's victims. Many people named in the documents have never been accused of Epstein-related wrongdoing. However, some have, like Maxwell; Prince Andrew, who has denied allegations of wrongdoing; and Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent who, like Epstein, died in a jail awaiting trial. Epstein, Maxwell and unnamed co-conspirators allegedly abused young women and underage girls between 1996 and his death in 2019, according to the lawsuit. Citing police documents, it alleges that Epstein recruited girls between 14 and 16 as well as students at Palm Beach Community College for "sex-tinged sessions." Maxwell is appealing her conviction while serving a sentence at a federal prison in Tallahassee. She is due for release in the summer of 2037.

JD Vance says it was a 'huge mistake' for Musk to go after Trump with Epstein accusation
Vice President JD Vance told comedian and podcast host Theo Von on Saturday that Elon Musk made a "huge mistake" by accusing President Donald Trump of being implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein files. Vance warned that Trump and Musk being embroiled in a "blood feud" with one another will be bad for the country and will likely not end well for the Tesla CEO either. "I think it's a huge mistake for him to go after the president like that. And I think that if he and the president are in some blood feud — most importantly — it's going to be bad for the country, but I think it's going to be, I don't think it'll be good for Elon either," Vance argued. 'Gone Too Far': Gop Lawmakers Rally Around Trump After Musk Raises Epstein Allegations Musk referenced Jeffrey Epstein in relation to Trump on Thursday as part of a larger attack against the president and Republican leaders over their budget reconciliation bill. "Time to drop the really big bomb. [Trump] is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" Musk wrote on X. "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out." Read On The Fox News App Vance told the comedian Trump "didn't do anything wrong with Jeffrey Epstein" and that his loyalties will always be with the president. He noted that he hopes Musk will eventually "come back into the fold," but doubted the possibility of that coming true after his tweet accusing Trump of being involved with Epstein. Click Here For The Latest Media And Culture News When asked by Von why he believed Musk's "feelings were hurt," Vance speculated that the culmination of the violent threats against him and his company, paired with Congress' budget reconciliation bill, may have pushed him over the edge. "His businesses are being attacked nonstop. They're literally like firebombing some of his cars," he pointed out. "So I think part of it is this guy got into politics and has suffered a lot for it. But I mean, and I get the frustration there… Congress, you got this spending bill. But the main purpose of the bill is not actually spending or cutting spending, though it does cut a lot of spending." The vice president acknowledged Musk's concerns over the spending bill that allegedly started the feud between the two and noted that disagreements over its contents likely caused some "frustrations." "The main purpose of the bill is to prevent the biggest tax increase, but I understand — it's a good bill — it's not a perfect bill," Vance said. "The process in D.C., if you're a business leader, you probably get frustrated with that process because it's more, you know, bureaucratic. It's more slow-moving. So I think there's just some frustrations there."

Trump warns of 'serious consequences' if Elon Musk funds Democrats
President Donald Trump warned on Saturday that there would be "serious consequences" for Elon Musk if he were to fund Democratic candidates. The president made the remark during a phone interview with NBC News. "If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that," Trump told NBC News. However, according to the outlet, Trump did not detail what the consequences would be. Timeline: Inside The Evolving Relationship Between Trump And Musk From First Term To This Week's Fallout The president also told the outlet that he has no interest in repairing his relationship with the Tesla founder and CEO. When asked if he thought his relationship with Musk was over, Trump reportedly told NBC News, "I would assume so, yeah." Trump also apparently has "no intention" of speaking with Musk — which is what he told Fox News Chief Political Anchor Bret Baier. Trump and Musk have been engaged in a heated feud that has rapidly escalated in a matter of days. The spat began when Musk criticized the Trump-backed "Big Beautiful Bill" after his time with the administration ended. Read On The Fox News App "I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," Musk said in a Tuesday post on X. "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it." Jd Vance Says It Was A 'Huge Mistake' For Musk To Go After Trump With Epstein Accusation Musk later had two explosive posts on X, both of which are now deleted. In one, Musk accused Trump of being in files related to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Then, he agreed with a post calling for Trump's impeachment and suggested that Vice President JD Vance take charge. In one of his posts criticizing the bill, Musk argued that the bill "more than defeats all the cost savings achieved by the DOGE team at great personal cost and risk." On Friday, Trump spoke with Baier and told him that "Elon's totally lost it." That same day Trump posted on Truth Social that Musk should have turned on him "months ago." "I don't mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago. This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress. "This puts our Country on a Path of Greatness. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Musk endorsed Trump after the then-candidate was nearly assassinated in Butler, Pa., during a campaign rally. The two seemed to become fast friends, with Musk eventually agreeing to join the Trump administration and lead article source: Trump warns of 'serious consequences' if Elon Musk funds Democrats
