Elon Musk’s routine departure from the White House has rapidly evolved into a series of explosive accusations and threats. Amid this escalating tension, Musk has made a significant claim that US President Donald Trump was named in the Epstein Files and that this is the reason why Jeffrey Epstein files have not been fully disclosed. However, the claim may not really be the ‘Big Bomb” as Elon Musk suggests. Reason being — Trump’s name had already appeared in a publicly released list of over 150 individuals linked to the Epstein scandal, The list surfaced in January, 2024, as part of a long-running civil case involving Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend. Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier and child sex offender.According to a list published by Time magazine (online) on January 4 last year, Trump’s name was mentioned in the court documents that listed celebrities that were previously associated with Epstein. Notably, the documents contain no alleged wrongdoing by Trump. Trump ties to Jeffrey Epstein have been previously documented, including in a 2016 deposition by Johanna Sjoberg, one of Epstein’s victims and accusers. In her testimony, Johanna Sjoberg recalled an unplanned stop in Atlantic City with Jeffrey Epstein caused by poor flying conditions. When questioned about whether she had ever given Donald Trump a massage, she denied it. According to the Time report, Trump had once described Epstein as a “terrific guy,” but later in 2019, he claimed they had a falling out and claimed that he had “not spoken to him for 15 years. I was not a fan of his.”
