Elon Musk said he was dropping a bomb. And when he wrote, “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files” the media covered his X post as earth shattering news. The implosion of the Trump-Musk relationship was indeed a big deal. As for the Epstein files, several news outlets diminished the allegation about Trump and called it a “dud” because, as CBS News reported, “Musk didn’t provide any evidence.”
I am sorry to have to break this to my friends and former colleagues in the mainstream media: The Trump-Epstein connection doesn’t rise or fall based on Elon Musk. Just look at the Epstein grand jury materials released in Florida last year.
Donald Trump is all over the Epstein call logs. Trump is also in Epstein flight manifests. There are also countless pictures of Trump with a virtual army of young women. And there is video - broadcast years ago by NBC News - of Trump and Epstein partying and then whispering to each other and pointing at the young women dancing in front of them.
If anybody wants even more courthouse material or legal files, google Donald Trump and Katie Johnson. According to a Johnson lawsuit, she was 13 years old and an aspiring model in 1994 when she attended a series of parties at Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan home. She claimed that Epstein raped her and that she was also tied to a bed and raped by Donald Trump.
According to the Johnson lawsuit, quote: “During the course of this savage sexual attack, plaintiff Johnson loudly pleaded with Donald Trump to ‘please wear a condom.’ Defendant Trump responded by violently striking Plaintiff Johnson in the face with his open hand and screaming that he ‘would do whatever he wanted’ as he refused to wear protection.
After achieving sexual orgasm, the Defendant Donald J. Trump put his suit back on and when the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, in tears asked Defendant Donald Trump what would happen if he had impregnated her, Defendant Trump grabbed his wallet and threw some money at her and screamed that she should use the money ‘to get a fucking abortion.’”
Katie Johnson dropped her lawsuit against Trump in 2016 without providing a public explanation. But one of her attorneys in the case, Lisa Bloom, said Johnson “had received threats and was afraid.” Tragedy compounded by additional tragedy.
As for Donald Trump, his lawyer in this matter – Alan Garten - dismissed the allegations as categorically untrue, saying the lawsuit was “completely frivolous and baseless.” The lawsuit documents are separate from the Epstein grand jury materials that were released in Florida, and separate from other grand jury materials still under seal at the Department of Justice.
Still, the point here is that nobody has to rely on Elon Musk for accusations that Donald Trump is some kind of sex criminal. Trump has already been found in a separate lawsuit to be an “adjudicated rapist.” More than 20 women have accused Trump of sexual harassment or sexual assault. And the Epstein grand jury materials that have already been released prove the Trump-Epstein connections.
In this video we have a helpful summary of all of this:
In my view, the most interesting part of the Elon Musk “bomb” as he called it, is his assertion that the Justice Department is still withholding additional Epstein files because they document the actions of Trump. The Justice Department promised to release all of the Epstein files many months ago.

Keeping this vast trove of potentially incriminating materials under lock and key has prompted speculation and rumors. Are there videos in these files of Donald Trump having sex with underage girls? Did grand jury witnesses, or even Jeffrey Epstein himself, implicate Donald Trump?
Trump certainly hasn’t ever given the impression—from bragging about walking through teenage beauty pageant changing rooms to what he liked so much about spending time with Epstein—that he was anything other than an active participant:
Elon Musk could do us all a favor by elaborating on what he knows about any effort by the Trump or those in the Trump Justice Department to squelch anything to do with his involvement in Epstein’s nefarious activities. Given Musk’s oversight of multiple government agencies, including the Department of Justice, Musk may have some insights.
Musk may have even had some conversations with Attorney General Pam Bondi about this. Or various other Trump Administration officials for whom the whole disgusting Epstein affair would be relevant to their jobs and their oaths of office. Do tell, Elon, the world is watching.
In any case, when you hear about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, just remember that Trump’s sordid, sick and possibly criminal behavior goes way beyond just some post Elon Musk decided to toss up on X in anger. There is a whole history here, with documents, images, video and context when you know what else Trump has been accused of, and found guilty of by a federal judge.
I appreciate that it is easier and so much more convenient for mainstream media figures to read and report on angry social media posts, instead of digging through a myriad of grand jury transcripts, documents, and exhibits. The latter can be difficult and time consuming. Yet, all of these Epstein documents are lousy with the name Donald J. Trump.
And digging through those files would seem to fall somewhere under what one might call the media’s job description. Trump was all over the Epstein Filed long before Elon Musk got mad at Trump and lashed out by mentioning them on his social media platform. Go find those materials, and tell the American people the truth!

The two men fell out in 2004 over the purchase of the Maison de L'Amitié, an estate and mansion in Palm Beach which Trump bought from under Epstein.
He offers a portrait of Trump womanizing, yelling at staff and living a basically friendless life with only his daughter Ivanka, his secretary and his bodyguard truly loyal to him.
Trump, he said, was almost "functionally illiterate" but did read the Page Six gossip column in the New York Post. He was "incapable" of reading a balance sheet, and any "act of kindness" would have been an accident, Epstein said
But it is Epstein's description of Trump's conduct toward women which is likely to attract most attention, given the pair's long friendship, and the 28 women who have made accusations against the former president of sexual misconduct (all of which he denies). Many of the attacks are alleged to have occurred when he and Epstein were friends.
On the tape Epstein can be heard saying, "He's a horrible human being. He does nasty things to his best friends, best friends' wives, anyone who he first tries to gain their trust and uses it to do bad things to them."
On one occasion, Epstein alleged, Trump took a woman to what he called "the Egyptian Room" in an Atlantic City casino. Epstein alleged, "He came out afterward and said, 'It was great, it was great. The only thing I really like to do is f--- the wives of my best friends. That is just the best.'"
Just reading this young woman’s account of Trump’s assault brings me to tears. And, even worse, I believe his supporters know that he is a predator and Trump gets a pass. I am filled with despair. All the innocent people being harmed by his action is an atrocity possibly genocide.
