Elon Musk and Donald Trump are scheduled to meet after Musk accused the president of being in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Musk and Trump are currently having a very public break up after the tech billionaire left his post in politics.
Musk publicly criticized Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ and the president shared his disappointment at Musk’s response.
Now, things have taken a more bizarre turn, with Musk claiming that the reason why the Epstein files have not been shared are because Trump is on them.
Taking to X, Musk wrote: “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,”, “That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”
Adding in a follow up tweet: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”
Epstein allegedly committed suicide in August 2019 while awaiting trial for s*x trafficking charges.
The public battle between Musk and Trump has been labelled an ‘unfortunate episode’ by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. She told CNN: “This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted. The President is focused on passing this historic piece of legislation and making our country great again.”
When asked on Fox News about the issues between the two billionaires, she added: “Just days ago, Elon thanked the president for his incredible leadership to cut waste and fraud in our government, which this one big beautiful bill does.”
She continued: “The only difference between Friday and today is Elon went back to his companies and as a businessman, he has a right to speak for his companies, but as president, President Trump has a responsibility to fight for this country.”
It is now expected that Musk and Trump will meet on June 6.
Politico’s White House Bureau Chief Dasha Burns claimed to speak with Trump last night who shared that information.
Despite his claims, it appears Musk is willing to meet up with president for the good of the US.
Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman shared on X: “I support @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk and they should make peace for the benefit of our great country.”
“We are much stronger together than apart,” he added, to which Musk responded: “You’re not wrong.”
Another person wrote on X that Trump should be impeached and replaced by Musk to which the billionaire replied: ‘yes’.
