Elon Musk is turning up the heat on Donald Trump, accusing him of protecting himself and other powerful figures tied to Jeffrey Epstein — and demanding he finally release the long-promised files.
On Saturday, after Trump posted on Truth Social asking his followers to stop attacking Attorney General Pam Bondi, Musk fired back.
“Seriously,” Musk tweeted. “He said ‘Epstein’ half a dozen times while telling everyone to stop talking about Epstein. Just release the files as promised.”
The billionaire didn’t stop there. In another post, Musk ripped the U.S. justice system, asking, “What the hell kind of system are we living in if thousands of kids were abused, the government has videos of the abusers and yet none of the abusers are even facing charges!?”
“This is a very big deal,” he added.
Earlier in the week, the Justice Department and FBI claimed — again — that there’s no secret Epstein client list. They also repeated that Epstein’s death in jail was a suicide, not a murder.
That announcement caused a major backlash, especially inside Trump’s own MAGA base. Reports say top FBI officials Kash Patel and Dan Bongino wanted to release more info about Epstein, but were shut down.
Now, pressure is mounting. Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon is among the voices calling for all Epstein files to be made public. But Musk took it even further, accusing Bannon of being named in the files himself.
“Back to prison for Bannon. He’s in the Epstein files,” Musk tweeted Saturday.
He was responding to Trump ally Roger Stone, who asked why Bannon met Epstein in both New York and Paris after Epstein had already been convicted of sex crimes — and why he allegedly helped Epstein prepare for a “60 Minutes” interview.
Musk has also pointed fingers directly at Trump. In now-deleted tweets, he claimed: “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!”
He followed it with: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”
Later, Musk walked back the comments, tweeting, “I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far.”
But this weekend, he reignited the fire — and this time, he’s not alone. Prominent conservatives, commentators, and Trump supporters are all demanding answers.
