Trump Remains Silent on Musk’s Epstein List Bombshell Amid Public Feud

The United States is in turmoil as the relationship between President Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, a powerful Republican supporter, has transformed from a pivotal alliance into a historic public feud. What started as mutual respect quickly escalated into a bitter exchange of accusations and threats. On Thursday evening (05.06.25), Musk dropped a bombshell on X, claiming that Trump’s name was included in the infamous Epstein files, which he suggested was the reason they hadn’t been made public. The White House responded through press secretary Caroline Levet, labeling Musk’s statement an unfortunate incident driven by dissatisfaction with the ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’ Trump later addressed the issue on Truth Social, focusing instead on defending the tax legislation rather than directly addressing the allegations about his involvement in the Epstein case. Despite Trump’s attempts to downplay the situation, the public rift between the two powerhouses leaves little room for optimism regarding their future collaboration.
