Elon Musk’s latest explosive claim — that US President Donald Trump appears in the Jeffrey Epstein files — has reignited public attention around one of the most controversial and secretive document troves in recent American history.
Musk, who did not provide any evidence for his allegation, referred to the so-called “Epstein files” — a widely-used term for records compiled by the US Department of Justice during investigations into the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. These files are believed to contain names, testimonies, and other details linking Epstein to a range of high-profile individuals allegedly involved in or aware of his trafficking operations involving underage girls.

While several names have already been disclosed through court-ordered unsealing of legal documents — including Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton — many parts of the federal files remain sealed. Musk’s comment hints that Trump may be among those unrevealed in the classified records, though no concrete evidence has surfaced.
Musk, a former close advisor to Trump, had headed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — a controversial agency created to reduce government size, resulting in thousands of federal job cuts. He left the administration just last week and has since lashed out at Trump’s economic policies, calling his tax-cut and spending bill a “disgusting abomination.”
Trump responded on Truth Social Thursday night, claiming he had personally asked Musk to leave the administration, accusing the billionaire of “going CRAZY” and saying his behavior was “wearing thin.”
Despite the back-and-forth, Musk’s claim has drawn sharp interest — even without proof — due to the sensitive nature of the Epstein files and their long history of implicating elite global figures.
