Musk says Trump should just Release Epstein Files

Tech billionaire Elon Musk took a jab at his former ally, saying that President Donald Trump should release the Epstein files as promised.

“Seriously. He said ‘Epstein’ half a dozen times while telling everyone to stop talking about Epstein. Just release the files as promised,” Musk said in a reply to a post on X.

US President Donald Trump has defended Attorney General Pam Bondi following criticism from some of his supporters. In a fiery Truth Social post on Saturday, the Trump stood by his AG and called on his “boys and gals” to address the internal discord surrounding the Epstein files.

The controversy stems from the Justice Department’s management of the Jeffrey Epstein case, including his death and the investigation into his alleged network, along with a reported conflict between Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino over related files.
