Oh dear. During the stunning rapid-fire deterioration of their working relationship, Elon Musk made a wild accusation against Donald Trump. Writing on social media, Musk declared, “@RealDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” The implication here (which Musk was careful not to actually write) is that Trump is guilty of conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse underage girls, and that the evidence of this is hidden by the administration.
Here’s the gist. Donald Trump did not do anything illegal with Jeffrey Epstein, for Jeffrey Epstein, around Jeffrey Epstein, or in collusion with Jeffrey Epstein. Of all the false accusations Elon Musk could have made with the intent of damaging Trump, this was perhaps the worst choice, for several reasons.
First and foremost, had such evidence existed, the Democrats would have long ago used it against Trump, especially during election season. Even if no “official” decision was made to do so by whoever’s hand was up the Biden sock puppet, it would have been leaked, hinted, and alluded to by the powers that be, via a clerk, an intern, or some 19-year-old commie sympathizer who somehow had Top Secret clearance.
Had Trump kicked a dog when he was in kindergarten, they would have found out about it and publicized it. Remember when Trump allegedly fed koi fish improperly, and they treated him like the human form of the next global mass extinction? We’re talking Democrats here. These are people who’d cut their mothers’ throats for a Snickers bar. Had there even been a whisper of evidence implicating Trump in any of Epstein’s activities, it would have been leaked years ago. The fact that it hasn’t been, and nor has any Democrat even bothered with an accusation, means one thing: It simply doesn’t exist.
Second, if such evidence did exist, Trump surely would have known about it and wouldn’t have campaigned on making the Epstein files public. In fact, he likely would have had any such evidence destroyed during his first term. The last thing he would do would be to draw attention to the issue.
Third, despite Musk’s top-tier access to government files during his time with DOGE, it is extremely unlikely that he would have had access to information regarding high-level FBI investigations. His purview was to find and expose examples of waste, fraud, and abuse. He wouldn’t have been privy to sensitive criminal investigations any more than he would have been privy to CIA interrogations of terrorists in Egyptian basements.
