As billionaire Elon Musk and US president Donald Trump traded barbs publicly on Thursday, an unlikely name emerged, putting the US President on a spot. The name was Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted sex offender. The Tesla CEO alleged the files pertaining to the case were never made public since Trump’s name was there.

However, Musk has now deleted the post claiming that Trump’s name is mentioned in the Epstein files.

The former advisor-turned-foe, who is at loggerheads with Trump over his “Big Beautiful Bill,” left the US administration last month to focus more on his business that suffered while he spearheaded the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
