A major political fallout has erupted between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, with the billionaire tech mogul accusing the former U.S. President of being mentioned in the still-classified Epstein Files.

On Thursday, June 5, Musk posted a controversial tweet on X (formerly Twitter) alleging that the real reason the full Epstein records have not been made public is because Trump’s name appears in them.
“@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public,” Musk tweeted, adding sarcastically: “Have a nice day, DJT!”
This bold accusation directly refers to documents tied to the late Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who was accused of trafficking underage girls to high-profile elites. Epstein’s black book and court records have long been subjects of speculation, but most files remain sealed under U.S. Justice Department orders.

According to a report by The Independent, Musk's claim marks a sharp break in the once cordial relationship between the two powerful men. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO previously served in Trump's administration as the head of the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a new federal body that prioritized cutting public sector jobs and reducing government bureaucracy.
Musk resigned from his position last week amid growing tension over Trump’s fiscal policies. He had publicly criticized Trump’s recent tax and spending bill, labeling it a “disgusting abomination.”
Responding on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump hit back at Musk, claiming the billionaire had become “too unstable” to serve in his administration.
“I asked Musk to leave because he was wearing thin. Now he’s gone CRAZY!” Trump wrote.
Musk’s explosive claims have reignited online debates about the secrecy surrounding the Epstein files, with many now calling for their immediate release in light of his statement.

Whether Musk’s allegations hold legal weight or are part of a personal feud remains to be seen. Still, this marks a major escalation in what appears to be the end of the Trump-Musk political alliance.
