Strap in — things just got wild.
Elon Musk just dropped a grenade on X (formerly Twitter), and it’s exploding across the internet. The Tesla and SpaceX boss claimed that U.S. President Donald Trump was named in Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous documents.
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!

And Musk didn’t mince words. He called it a “really big bomb” and added, “The Epstein client list was real. Trump was on it. The coverup was too.” That post alone had people doing double takes.
The claim came in response to a user questioning why the media “never asked why Epstein was doing what he was doing.” Musk responded with: “It’s amazing how many prominent names were on that client list. Trump was one of them.”
His post went viral, fast.
This isn’t the first time Musk has commented on the Epstein saga, but naming Trump — a man he’s had a complicated relationship with — raises eyebrows.
The Times of India reported Musk’s post is now stirring major reactions across social media. “The truth will come out,” Musk added in a follow-up, stirring even more online frenzy.
Let’s get one thing straight — Trump has previously denied any wrongdoing or criminal ties to Epstein. In the past, he’s admitted knowing the disgraced financier but said they had a falling out years before Epstein’s arrest.
And just to be clear, no official government source or court filing has publicly confirmed Trump as an Epstein client. Musk’s post appears to be his own interpretation of the released files.
Still, Musk’s tweet has reignited fierce debate about the Epstein case and the many high-profile names connected to it. The recently unsealed documents from a lawsuit involving Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell have already mentioned Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and others — but no direct charges or proof of criminal conduct have been publicly confirmed for most.
Musk has long played agent provocateur online — remember when he walked into Twitter HQ carrying a sink? But this time, he’s not clowning around. This is serious stuff.
As for Trump, he hasn’t responded to Musk’s claim yet. But you can bet his team is watching closely.
Stay tuned. This one’s not over.
