Musk deletes post claiming Trump 'in the Epstein files'

Source: AFP

-snip-

"Time to drop the really big bomb: (Trump) is in the Epstein files," Musk posted on his social media platform, X as his growing feud with the president boiled over into a spectacularly public row.

-snip-

Musk did not reveal which files he was talking about and offered no evidence for his claim.

He initially doubled down on the claim, writing in a follow-up message: "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out."

However, he appeared to have deleted both tweets by Saturday morning.

And if Must had kept it up, TACO Don would have turned his DOJ on Musk, and revived all those investigations into Musk, SpaceX and Tesla that Musk had mananaged to shut down.

then what does that say about Musk that he was okay to be associated with Trump as long as Trump gave him power to disrupt the government bureaucracy and get rid of the agencies that were investigating his businesses?

Oh by the way, Michael Wolff has audio of Epstein saying Trump and he were "best friends" for years and the story behind the real estate deal that ended their friendship. Epstein showed Trump a mansion he wanted to buy because he wanted Trump's opinion about what to do about the swimming pool. Behind his back, Trump undercut Epstein and acquired the mansion for himself. Trump sold the mansion for millions in profit.

See Trump was okay with what Epstein did with "girls on the younger side." He saw an opportunity to stab Epstein in the back, make some money and so he took it.

Epstein on Trump:

Epstein continued, “He does nasty things to his best friends, his best friends’ wives. Anyone who he first tries to gain their trust, and then uses it to do bad things.”

What other open secrets is Musk going to "reveal" but was happily aware of until now?

So Trump stopped responding and Musk is retracting. Bannon wants to deport him and Vance is saying there is no way to get back in the MAGA fold.

I'm inclined to think Trump will reembrace him.

I mean, we'd still know they existed because somebody would have an archive, but we could just pretend they never happened and it would be that just-a-little-bit harder for anyone to remind us.

But evolution has to be proud of itself today. It has officially proven that anything is possible in nature. You win evolution; you win. /s
