Elon Musk’s recently announced ‘America Party’ will make exposing the Jeffrey Epstein files a top priority. This decision marks a significant shift in his relationship with Donald Trump. Musk has publicly questioned Trump’s credibility, stating that people can’t be expected to trust him if the Epstein files remain sealed. A user on X directly asked if the files would be a priority, to which Musk responded with a “100” emoji, confirming their importance.
Epstein, who faced sex trafficking charges, died in a New York prison in 2019. Musk has previously criticized Trump’s administration for the lack of arrests related to the Epstein case. On his social media, Musk shared an image of an ‘Official Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter,’ displaying “0000.”
Musk’s creation of the ‘America Party’ is seen as an escalation of his feud with Trump, particularly in response to Trump’s handling of the Epstein case. Trump responded to the new party by calling it ‘ridiculous’ and criticizing Musk.
Trump stated the idea of a third party is doomed to fail in the US political system, adding that third parties only bring disruption and chaos.
Musk launched the America Party after polling users on X about their desire for a break from the traditional two-party system.
Previously, Trump had lauded Musk’s efforts, even giving him special recognition, but now the two are at odds. Trump has hinted at potentially deporting Musk and using the DOGE against his companies.
