Elon Musk is back online (though, let’s be real, he doesn’t really ever log off), stirring the pot with Donald Trump.

If you recall, a month ago, amidst a feud and falling out with Donald Trump, Musk took to his platform X, formerly Twitter, to drop a bomb, accusing Trump in a now-deleted tweet of being “in the Epstein files,” and saying that was “the real reason they have not been made public.” He later deleted the tweet, saying he “went too far.“

Well, now, in a report first shared by Axios, the US Department of Justice and the FBI have released a review concluding that there is no secret “client list” of individuals with whom Jeffrey Epstein conspired with or blackmailed to exploit young women. The review also reaffirmed that Epstein died by suicide. Both findings contradict widely circulated claims and conspiracy theories promoted by some Trump associates.
In light of the news, Elon Musk re-ignited the public feud to share his thoughts. In a tweet sharing the report, he replied, “So … umm … then what is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for? Stuff like this does not improve people’s faith in government.”
Then, he posted this meme:
The meme seems to reference a claim made by US Attorney General Pam Bondi in February. In a Fox News interview, she said the list was “sitting on her desk,” and that she was reviewing it at Trump’s direction, alongside other files like those related to JFK and MLK. That quote is now making the rounds again as it contradicts the DOJ’s current stance.

Musk didn’t stop there, continuing his rant. “This is the final straw,” he wrote.
In another tweet-meme, he posted a “Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter” set to zero with the caption, “What’s the time? Oh look, it’s no-one-has-been-arrested-o’clock again …”
And lastly, he then retweeted a tweet that read: “If the entire government is protecting pedophiles, it has officially become the government against the people. I hope you all understand that.”

So…yeah. Musk is back online, beefing, stirring the pot with memes and accusations, while the DOJ says there’s nothing more to see here. Whether any of it leads anywhere? TBD. In the meantime, Musk said he is launching a third political party called the “America Party,” while Trump, never one to stay quiet, called Musk a “TRAIN WRECK” in a tirade on Sunday.
Le sigh, I wish I could tell you this is all just one sick joke. But no, this is real life, starring the world’s richest man and our country’s highest official. What a timeline to watch unfold.
As of posting, the Trump Administration has not yet responded to Musk’s tweets. We will update you if they do.
