Elon Musk Criticizes Trump, Purges MAGA Allies Over Epstein Cover-Up Claims

Elon Musk has publicly pressured President Donald Trump to release the Jeffrey Epstein case files, criticizing the Trump administration's refusal to do so despite prior promises. Musk condemned the Justice Department's recent report, which found no evidence of a client list or blackmail involving prominent figures, and insisted that the government is failing victims by not prosecuting abusers. This stance has deepened the rift between Musk and Trump, with Musk unfollowing several Trump allies on social media amid escalating tensions over the investigation and the "Big Beautiful Bill." Meanwhile, Trump's supporters remain divided, with many skeptical about the official narrative and demanding the release of more information, despite Trump's own dismissive posts blaming Democrats for the controversy. The dispute highlights ongoing political fractures within the MAGA base and questions about transparency in the Epstein investigation. Both Musk and Trump continue to exchange accusations, with Musk alleging that Trump and former advisors are implicated in the files, while Trump defends his administration's handling of the matter.
