Elon Musk has deleted a controversial post from X claiming US President Donald Trump was named in sealed Jeffrey Epstein files, a move seen as a potential olive branch following their recent public spat. Musk had accused Trump of suppressing the files for self-protection, calling it the “real reason” they remained sealed. The claim reignited conspiracy theories surrounding the Epstein case. Trump responded by saying he had no interest in speaking to Musk, who he claimed had “lost his mind.” Their fallout follows disagreements over Trump’s spending bill and tax reforms, with Musk recently exiting the Department of Government Efficiency.
