Musk deletes Trump-Epstein post
The billionaire had actually openly implicated US President Trump of being named in Epstein’s files following the vicious public row. Musk has deleted a post claiming that US President Donald Trump’s name was in the sealed Jeffrey Epstein files, suggesting that this is the real reason they remain classified. On Thursday, Musk wrote: ‘Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files.’ In another inflammatory post, Musk reacted ‘yes’ to a message that said ‘Trump should be impeached’ and Vice President JD Vance ‘should replace him.’ The clash between Trump and Musk escalated into a series of jabs on social media. Following the feud, Tesla’s shares dropped about 14.2% on Thursday at market close, wiping approximately $152 billion off the company’s value. Trump Media stock also fell 8%. Epstein, an investment banker with deep connections to political and business elites, was arrested in July 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges and died the following month in a New York jail.
