What happens when the friendship between a president and an entrepreneur starts to crumble? Secrets hidden between the pages of history begin to unveil themselves. President Donald Trump of the United States and the world's richest man, Elon Musk, encountered such bitterness that Musk has started exposing the secrets of his friend's youthful days.
Tesla's owner, Elon Musk, mentioned that President Donald Trump's name appears in the Jeffrey Epstein files. Musk suggested that this is the reason why these files remain in the 'highly classified' category and are yet to be declassified.
You may have read about the clash between Trump and Musk, but you might be unfamiliar with Jeffrey Epstein. Who is this Jeffrey Epstein, what are the Epstein files, and why is Trump's name in them a significant revelation? Such a big revelation that Elon Musk himself is declaring it.
The real time to drop a big bomb has arrived
Elon Musk posted on X, "The real time to drop a big bomb has come: Donald Trump's name is in the Epstein files, and that's the reason they haven't been made public. Have a great day, DJT!"
Who is this Jeffrey Epstein whose discussion Musk has ignited so much frenzy in American politics?
In countries like America, having prominent personalities' names associated with sex scandals is not new. The sensational story of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky is evidence of that.
The Dark World of Wealth and Sex Crime: Jeffrey Epstein
Jeffrey Epstein was a billionaire financier from America. With immense wealth, he built relationships with the world's rich and famous. Donald Trump's name was among those in Epstein’s circle. Besides his wealth, Epstein infiltrated the dark world of sex crimes, facing charges of sex trafficking.
Born in New York in 1953, Epstein, without a college degree, established his firm in the banking and finance sector. He faced serious allegations of sexual abuse and sex trafficking of minors. An investigation commenced in 2005 after a complaint by a 14-year-old girl, identifying 36 minor victims. In 2008, he was convicted on prostitution charges and served 13 months in jail.
As previously mentioned, Jeffrey Epstein was associated with high-profile personalities like Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Prince Andrew.
Mysterious Death in Jail
In 2019, Epstein was arrested again for human trafficking and sexual crimes, but he died in jail before trial, officially deemed suicide, though many conspiracy theories exist. In America, Jeffrey Epstein is labeled a sexual predator.
Private Island and the Lolita Express!
Jeffrey Epstein owned immense wealth and had private islands in America with his jet. This jet transported influential figures to his private island for parties. Epstein was known for hosting prominent figures at his island, Little Saint James, in the US Virgin Islands. He often took guests on his private jet and left a written record of visitors.
In America, this private jet was colloquially known as the 'Lolita Express'. According to the New York Post, the former President Bill Clinton and Donald Trump have traveled on this Lolita Express.
According to an Economic Times report, President Donald Trump made at least 7 trips on the private plane between 1993 and 1997. At that time, Trump was a business tycoon and real estate developer and was known as an Epstein's associate.
Though Trump denied any such association, flight logs released under Epstein’s partner and girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell's trial in 2021 revealed that the US President boarded Epstein’s plane 7 times. Trump stated in a 2024 Truth Social post, "I never was on Epstein’s plane or his silly island."
Former President Bill Clinton's pictures have also surfaced multiple times on this jet. It's important to remember that just because someone's name appears in related files, it doesn't necessarily mean they've been accused of wrongdoing.
They Like Beautiful Women as Much as I Do
Though Trump distanced himself after Epstein's arrest on July 6, 2019, the two were good friends from the late 1980s to the early 2000s. A recent photo showed them chatting at a party at Mar-a-Lago. They were also seen together at Victoria's Secret Angels parties.
Trump flamboyantly praised Epstein as a "terrific guy" he had known for 15 years in a 2002 interview with New York Magazine.
At that time, Trump mentioned about Epstein, "He's loads of fun. People say he even likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it - Jeffrey enjoys his social life."
Post the friendship fallout with Trump, Musk pointed out these matters. These matters and legal records are in what are known as the Epstein files.
Some of these files have been made public, but many still remain classified, leading to numerous conspiracy theories and speculations. Musk advocates for making these files public.
Elon Musk's claim about Donald Trump's name being in these files is a serious but unverified statement. While there are some traces of old friendship between Trump and Epstein (like Trump traveling on his jet), no concrete criminal evidence linking Trump directly to Epstein's crimes has been publicized.
