Musk deletes explosive mail to Trump and Epstein files-pure drama!

In a current political dispute, Elon Musk deleted a controversial post on his platform X, in which he claimed that Donald Trump was mentioned in the secret files of the late Jeffrey Epstein. Musk said this was the real reason why the files are not published. The comment fell into a context that is characterized by the abuse scandal around Epstein, which was found dead in his prison cell in 2019.

The claims of Musk were not new. Trump's name appeared in already published documents for the Epstein affair, but he was not accused of misconduct. Nevertheless, Musk's statements remain in the memory, especially since he presented no evidence of his accusations and did not give any further explanations of the documents to which he referred to. In his original post on June 5, Musk wrote: "Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason why they were not published," without providing substantial evidence. vienna.at reports that the white house Musk's claims dismissed as an unfortunate and no statement whether Trump is actually mentioned in the files.

The role of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

Trump and Epstein had contacts in the 1990s, for example through flying together and participation in social events. Trump once described Epstein as "great types", but subsequently distanced himself from him, especially after his criminal activity became public.

Musk has long been calling for the publication of an "Epstein customer list" that could uncover secret contacts from Epstein.

After Musk recently resolved his role as a special advisor of Trump, he criticized the tax plans supported by Trump and described the corresponding law as "disgusting" and "abomination". Trump reacted by describing Musk as someone who "lost the mind" and claimed that he had asked Musk to end his government position, which Musk contested. Like Sky News have been under pressure.

The effects on the companies of Musk

The latest developments also had direct economic effects. On the day of conflict teasing, Tesla's share price fell by 14.3%, which corresponds to a loss of about $ 150 billion. This shows how closely political arguments and economic action are linked. Musk, who had supported Trump in the past with an estimated up to $ 280 million in his campaign campaign, is now in a changed position.

In the middle of this turbulence, the topic of Epstein and the associated files remains central, both for Trump and for Musk. With the continuous demand for a publication and the associated political explosiveness, this story could not be told.
