Elon Musk has removed a statement that connects Donald Trump with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which he posted on social media this week.
The technical billionaire claimed on Thursday that the Republican leader can be seen in secret government files about former Epstein employees, who died in 2019 by suicide, while he was confronted with charges for sex trade.
The Trump government has acknowledged that it is investigating tens of thousands of documents, videos and research material, of which his “Maga” movement says that it will expose public figures complicit in Epstein’s crimes.
“Time to drop the really big bomb: (Trump) is stated in the Epstein files,” Musk placed X on his social media platform, while his growing feud with the president cooked in a spectacular public row.
“That is the real reason that they were not made public.”
Mr. Musk did not reveal what files he had and did not provide any evidence for his claim.
In fact, he wrote in a follow -up message: “Mark this message for the future. The truth will come true.”
However, he seemed to have removed both tweets by Saturday morning.

Trump’s ties with Epstein
Supporters of the conspiracy end of the base of Trump claim that the employees of Epstein had their role in his crimes covered by government officials and others.
They point their finger on Democrats and Hollywood celebrities – although not on Trump itself.
No official source has ever confirmed that the president appears in one of the material.
The US president knew and socialized with Epstein, but has denied spending time on Little Saint James, the private island on the US Virgin Islands where public prosecutors claimed that Epstein had traded underage girls for sex.
“Great guy,” said Mr. Trump, who was the neighbor of Epstein in both Florida and New York, in a profile of the financier of the early 2000s.
“He is very nice to be at. It is even said that he loves beautiful women as much as I am, and many of them are on the younger side.”
Musk’s shipping now in the distant past

But within a few days, their relationship exploded as Mr Musk described as a “horror” an expenditure law that, if adopted by the congress, could define the President’s second term of office.
Mr. Trump hit back in an oval office Diatribe and from there escalated the row, making it to Washington and sounded users of social media, both amazed by the blistering apart between the world’s richest person and the most powerful in the world.
With real political and economic risks for their row, both men seemed to return from the edge of the total war on Friday, but the White House denied reports that the couple were planned to speak on the phone.
