Elon Musk on Thursday rapidly escalated his feud with Donald Trump, accusing the president of stalling the release of “the Epstein files” because of his apparent friendship with the late accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

“Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public,” he wrote as part of a flurry of posts on X.

The allegation came after a day of sniping back and forth between the two men, who just days ago were close confidantes and gave a press conference together celebrating their work on DOGE.
