Elon Musk said an Axios report that the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have concluded that there is no evidence of a Jeffrey Epstein client list was the “final straw”.
The report also said the agencies concluded there is no credible evidence that the disgraced financier and pedophile blackmailed high-profile and prominent individuals.
“So … umm … then what is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for?” Musk posted to his X platformed, referring to Epstein’s former girlfriend and associate, who procured underage girls for him to abuse.
“Stuff like this does not improve people’s faith in government.”
Musk, a billionaire and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is a former ally of U.S. President Donald Trump.
The two men dramatically fell out over Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, and a claim by Musk that Trump was not releasing the Epstein files because his name was in them. Musk later said he went too far with the remark.
Trump and his allies promised to release the Epstein case files in full amid suspicions of a cover-up about the latter’s illicit sexual activities and the involvement of powerful people.
But delays to their release, and now the conclusion that Epstein was not blackmailing people or maintaining a related client list, have angered many Trump supporters, who expected a different outcome.
Musk said he plans to form a new America Party for the 2026 midterms, which will target a handful of winnable Senate and House seats in an attempt to control the balance of power in Congress and break the two-party domination of U.S. politics.
