Attorney General Pam Bondi once claimed the Epstein files were “on her desk,” but no public disclosure followed. As Musk keeps using his massive platform—now 223 million followers—to spotlight the case, it raises further questions about what is being concealed and who benefits from the silence.

Axios further reports that only the day after alleging online that Trump’s name did indeed appear in the “Epstein files,” Musk hopped on a call with Vice President JD Vance and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to ask how he might go about making amends. The following morning, he deleted his posts, going on to publicly state he had taken things “too far.”

Amid a messy public falling out with Trump, Musk claimed in a since-deleted tweet from June the president was in the Epstein files.
