Tech billionaire Elon Musk has deleted an explosive allegation post which linked US President Donald Trump with disgraced financier, Jeffrey Epstein.
Musk is said to have posted the allegation on social media
during a public fallout with Trump this week.
The tech billionaire, who recently resigned his role as a
top White House advisor, on Thursday, accused Trump of featuring in unreleased
government files on former associates of Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019
while he faced sex trafficking charges.
Meanwhile, the administration of the Republican has
acknowledged that it was reviewing many documents, videos and investigative
material that his “MAGA” movement says will reveal public figures complicit in
Epstein’s crimes.
The US President was reportedly named in a trove of
deposition and statements linked to Epstein that were unsealed by a New York
judge in early 2024.
However, he has not been accused of any wrongdoing in the
case.
“Time to drop the really big bomb: (Trump) is in the Epstein
files. “That is the real reason they have not been made public,” Musk posted on
his social media platform, X as his growing rift with the president takes a new
twist.
Musk, who did not disclose which files he was talking about
and offered no evidence for his claim, initially doubled down on the claim,
writing in a follow-up message: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will
come out.”
The former Trump’s advisor, has, however, appeared to have
deleted both tweets by Saturday morning.
Trump knew and socialized with Epstein but has denied
spending time on Little Saint James, the private redoubt in the US Virgin
Islands where prosecutors alleged Epstein trafficked underage girls for sex.
The Republican, last week, gave Musk a glowing send-off as
he left his cost-cutting role at the so-called Department of Government
Efficiency, DOGE.
However, their relationship imploded within days as Musk
described as an abomination a spending bill that, if passed by Congress, could
define Trump’s second term in office.
Trump hit back in an Oval Office diatribe and from there the
row detonated, leaving Washington and riveted social media users alike stunned
by the blistering break-up between the world’s richest person and the world’s
most powerful.
