Tech billionaire Elon Musk once again slammed President Trump over the Jeffrey Epstein case, confirming that his new political party, which he has dubbed the “America Party,” will make it a priority to expose the files.
Musk first questioned how people can be expected to have faith in the president if he doesn’t release the files regarding the convicted sex offender and financier.
“How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files?” he asked in a post on X, the social platform he owns.

A user commented on the post, asking if exposing the files would be a high-ranking priority for the “American Party.”
Musk responded in the affirmative with a “100” emoji.
The White House criticized the allegations and the “continued fixation on sowing division” within the Cabinet.
“President Trump is proud of Attorney General Bondi’s efforts to execute his Make America Safe Again agenda, restore the integrity of the Department of Justice, and bring justice to victims of crime,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to The Hill. “The continued fixation on sowing division in President Trump’s Cabinet is baseless and unfounded in reality.”
While Musk hasn’t provided a formal outline of his policy platform for the new party, he’s hinted at some future moves in social media posts since announcing its launch.
It’s the latest in the feud between Trump and Musk, who has continued to troll the president over the Epstein case. The Tesla CEO has alleged that Trump has ties to Epstein.
“Time to drop the really big bomb,” Musk wrote on X last month. “[Trump] is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.”
“Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out,” he said in another post minutes later.
On Monday, after the release of a memo from the Justice Department and FBI that found no evidence Epstein had a “client list” and that no additional charges were expected, Musk posted an image showing “The Official Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter,” with the counter set to “0000.”
“What’s the time? Oh look, it’s no-one-has-been-arrested-o’clock again …” Musk wrote on X.
He also knocked the Trump administration for initially promising to release the “Epstein list” before reportedly saying, “There is no Epstein list.”
Trump has shut down allegations of his ties with Epstein, asking why people are still talking about “this creep” during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years,” he said.
