Elon Musk deletes post claiming Trump named in Epstein file: 'The truth will come out'
PTC News Desk: Tech billionaire Elon Musk has now deleted the social media post in which he dropped the explosives claiming that US President Donald Trump has been named in Epstein files which pertains to the case involving late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Musk's post deletion significantly hints at possible truce with US President days after the duo indulged in a verbal spat. Last month, the billionaire quit the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and has been at loggerheads with Trump over the "big, beautiful bill" (spending bill).
Earlier this week Musk accused Donald Trump of being named in the infamous Epstein files indicating that was a real reason they were never released. The deleted post was followed by another post which by him asserting "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out."
"Time to drop the really big bomb. Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" he said in a now-deleted X post.
What is Epstein files ?
The Epstein files is a collection of court orders, testimony and sealed records related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking's ring. Several high profile and prominent names have been surfaced pertaining to the case while few of them remain hidden behind the court orders.
The recent remarks by Elon Musk has reignited a sense of speculation amongst investigator with a hunch that credible and sensitive information is being withheld which has the potential of incriminating the other hidden names.
In February, Attorney General Pam Bondi added fuel to the fire by promoting the release of documents from the Justice Department. However, much of what was made public at that time had already been available for years through court cases, public records, lawsuits and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
