Elon Musk took another jab at President Trump early Monday, mocking the administration over its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. In a post on X, Musk shared an image labeled “The Official Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter,” with the number stuck at “0000,” along with the caption: “What’s the time? Oh look, it’s no-one-has-been-arrested-o’clock again …”
The post followed a report from Axios revealing that the Justice Department and FBI found no evidence Epstein blackmailed powerful individuals or kept a “client list,” and concluded no further charges would be brought. The memo also reaffirmed the conclusion that Epstein died by suicide in 2019.
Musk’s comments continue a growing public feud with Trump. Just weeks earlier, the Tesla CEO accused Trump of being named in the unreleased Epstein files, claiming that’s the real reason they’ve been kept hidden. “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out,” Musk wrote at the time.
Trump, for his part, has repeatedly denied any ties to Epstein, stating last year, “I was never on Epstein’s Plane, or at his ‘stupid’ Island.” He has also previously said he would be open to releasing Epstein-related documents.
The renewed clash between the two comes amid heightened tensions, including Musk’s recent announcement of a new political party and Trump’s fiery response. On Sunday, Trump blasted Musk on Truth Social, calling him a “TRAIN WRECK” and slamming the idea of a third party as “ridiculous” and chaotic.
