Elon Musk Prioritizes Exposing Epstein Files Amid Political Claims

Elon Musk has made exposing the Jeffrey Epstein files a key priority for his newly formed America Party, criticizing President Donald Trump for not releasing the documents despite campaign promises. Musk has alleged that both Trump and Steve Bannon, a former White House chief strategist and MAGA movement architect, appear in the Epstein files, claims that have intensified his feud with the White House and Trump allies. Trump has dismissed ongoing questions about Epstein, defending Attorney General Pam Bondi and urging focus on other national issues. Bannon, who interviewed Epstein for an unreleased documentary, has faced scrutiny over his connections with Epstein, with Musk and other Trump allies like Roger Stone questioning his relationship with the convicted sex offender. The Justice Department has stated no evidence exists of an Epstein client list, fueling skepticism and conspiracy theories among Epstein’s critics. Despite repeated calls for transparency, the Trump administration has maintained that no such list exists and that Epstein’s death was a suicide, a stance that has frustrated Musk and parts of the political base seeking more disclosure.
