Elon Musk makes furious demand to Donald Trump about Jeffrey Epstein files after dropping bombshell claim

The 53-year-old Tesla boss has been very vocal online ever since the FBI released the latest update on Epstein's alleged 'client list'

Elon Musk has made yet another comment aimed at United States president, Donald Trump, about the infamous Jeffrey Epstein files months after dropping a bombshell claim about him.

This week, news have been circling regarding a joint investigation between the FBI and US Justice Department has finally released the CCTV footage from the convicted child sex offender's prison cell from the day of his death back in August 2019.

Despite mass conspiracy theories and speculation online, the FBI has made a number of conclusions about the case, namely sharing a crucial update on Epstein's 'client list', adding that Epstein was not murdered during his 36-day stay at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan.

The investigation also found no evidence that Epstein 'blackmailed prominent individuals', according to the two-page memo.

However, that's not stopped the Trump administration, and District Attorney Pam Bondi in particular, getting slammed by many - including former DOGE head, Elon Musk - for 'lying' about Epstein's 'client list'.

Musk has not been shy in sharing his disappointment over the latest 'client list' update, taking to social media to double down on a number of claims since the news first came out.

In one of his latest tweets on the matter, the 53-year-old Tesla boss directly called out Trump, 79, questioning: "How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files?"

Now, for context, Trump previously claimed his administration would release the Epstein files to the public and, during what is being dubbed their 'break-up', former DOGE spearhead Musk claimed that the Republican was in the Epstein files himself, alleging that was 'the real reason they have not been made public'.

"Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public," he wrote on X last month (5 June). "Have a nice day, DJT!"

Musk then told people that 'the truth will come out' before deleting the social media post and later saying he went 'too far' with some of his tweets.

Trump being named in these files does not implicate wrongdoing, it must be noted.

AXIOS reports that the FBI's latest findings represent the first time Trump's administration has 'officially contradicted conspiracy theories about Epstein's activities and his death - theories that had been pushed by the FBI's top two officials before Trump appointed them to the bureau'.
