'If he won’t release...': Elon Musk makes BIG claim about Steve Bannon, mentions Trump and Epstein files AGAIN

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has not only challenged United States President Donald Trump to release sealed files related to Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and sex offender, but has also gone on a tirade over it. He dropped a massive claim about Steve Bannon, former advisor and a close personal aide of Trump. The Tesla and SpaceX boss said,“Bannon is in the Epstein files." Elon Musk offered no further details or evidence on Bannon’s role in the Epstein files. Earlier, Musk had claimed that Bannon would go to prison soon. Slamming Trump in another post, Musk said, “How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files?" After his public breakup with Trump last month, Musk had also claimed that the name of the POTUS is in the Epstein files. He later deleted his post and apologised, saying that he went too far.

Musk's latest comments come after US President Trump, during a cabinet meeting, asked, “You still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” Trump was visibly exasperated, as a reporter asked the question on Tuesday, a day after the Justice Department released a memo concluding that “no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted” in the investigation of Epstein. Attorney General Pam Bondi, the main target of critics over the controversial files, added, “He committed suicide.”

Earlier this week, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) concluded that no evidence supported sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in jail. During the probe, the investigators also found that there was no secret “client list” tied to him or that he blackmailed powerful figures or kept a roster of high-profile clients for illicit purposes.

What are Epstein Files?

The Epstein files are a collection of legal documents, court records, and investigative materials connected to Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier accused of operating a sex trafficking ring involving underage girls. These files have drawn international attention due to Epstein’s links to high-profile figures in politics, business, and entertainment. A major part of the Epstein files comes from court cases, a defamation lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most outspoken accusers. In early 2024, hundreds of pages of these court documents were unsealed, revealing names, emails, and testimonies involving powerful individuals, however, large portions remain sealed or redacted. Jeffrey Epstein died under controversial circumstances in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019.
