Elon Musk, with over 80 million followers on his own social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has waged an online war against the Donald Trump administration of which he was a part until a few days ago.
Musk has ignited a political firestorm by declaring that it was him who gave Donald Trump his 2024 re-election win and without him, it would have democrats ruling the government.
He also teased his followers about waiting for “the really big bomb” and then posted that Donald Trump’s name was in the Jeffrey Epstein files, and that’s the reason all documents have not been released yet.
Time to drop the really big bomb:@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.
Have a nice day, DJT!

Not to miss a chance to fan the fire, social media platforms and new media got to work and the news spread like fire. Late night shows, talk shows and primetime news programs have been continuously covering it.
Musk’s timing was no accident. His statements have now re-ignited public interest in Jeffery Epstein’s files. The highly anticipated release of court documents from ongoing litigation related to Jeffrey Epstein has now pulled members of elite circles in its grip.
Though there has been no evidence so far to implicate Donald Trump or other named individuals in criminal conduct, the association and Musk’s tweet have generated waves across social media.
UPDATE: Epstein Files
This, in a nutshell, is part of what is inside those binders.
This is basically a rolodex… and has names such as the following:
– Alec Baldwin
– Naomi Campbell
– Michael Jackson
– Mick Jager
– Sen Edward Kennedy
– Courtney Love
– Rupert Murdoch
– Ivana… https://t.co/jqxO1ob6jT pic.twitter.com/CP7ep1yZfm— MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) February 27, 2025
Among the influential figures named in the documents are:
Celebrities: Michael Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Campbell
Politicians: Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Donald Trump
Others: Stephen Hawking, Bruce Willis, David Copperfield
Many of these names have been previously speculated. These were based on old media releases and home videos shared. However, the official unsealing of the documents offers a clearer view of how deep Epstein’s connections ran. The move aims to add transparency to a case full of secrecy and conspiracy theories.
The judge who unsealed the Epstein records cited public interest as one of the main reasons for doing so, but he mentioned that redactions had been placed on the documents to preserve the privacy of the victims.

However, as per the conspiracy, these redactions have been placed to keep the names of many influential people out of the media circus that would begin with the documents.
Musk’s claim on X.com has prompted fierce debate. His claims that he made Trump President of the United States have Trump supporters divided. Those who have been true Trump fans see Musk’s post as a betrayal of trust and faith that Donald Trump apparently put in him. However, those who came into MAGA via Musk and were his followers had their suspicion confirmed of Musk being the kingmaker.
Critics of the president have seized on the statement, arguing that billionaires like Musk wield outsized influence over democratic processes.
I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore.
This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.
Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.

The feud began when Musk openly criticized Trump’s flagship legislation, the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” He called it a “disgusting abomination” due to its $2.4 trillion impact on the national deficit and cuts to EV subsidies, which would directly affect Tesla’s business.
Being burned by Trump’s bill, Elon spiraled down and started telling “state secrets.” He has been continuously critiquing several of the Trump administration’s decisions, including the tariffs that the president put on several nations across the world.
Musk’s explosive assertion that he delivered Trump the presidency, paired with the resurfacing of Epstein connections, has marked a dramatic turn in American political discourse. As Musk teases more revelations, the line between whistleblowing and vendetta blurs.
