Elon Musk vs. Donald Trump: The Feud Over Epstein Files Reignites

Once political allies, Elon Musk and Donald Trump are back at odds — and this time, the battleground is the controversial Epstein files.

Their falling-out, which feels like it happened “72 years ago” (as some users jokingly say), took a sharper turn when Musk previously tweeted — then deleted — an accusation implying Trump’s name might appear in Epstein’s files. Though Musk walked that back briefly, the tension flared up again when he floated the idea of starting the “America Party.”

Poll on X: “Should we create the America Party?”
Over 1.2 million votes rolled in: 65.4% said yes.

As Trump deflects criticism and labels the Epstein controversy a “Democratic hoax,” Musk is doubling down.

In response to a Trump rant on Truth Social, Musk posted:
“The old: 1. Admit nothing 2. Deny everything 3. Make counterclaims. But it won’t work this time.”

The internet lit up. Some users praised Musk’s directness:

“He’s going for the jugular.”

Others were stunned:

“WTF, me siding with Musk?”

And the general sentiment?

“Elon… keep going.”

With both men digging in, the digital drama is only getting started — and everyone’s grabbing popcorn.
