“Gross. #MAGA wants to paint everyone on those flights as pedophiles except the one guy who smiles in a group of young girls all headed to Epstein’s ‘Fantasy Island’ with him. My bet is there are some decent Republicans left in America that may think this is going too far,” said Ruffalo, in a post on X along with the fake images.

The actor, best known for playing Bruce Banner or the Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), later backtracked and issued an apology while also taking a swipe at Elon Musk.
“Sorry Folks. Apparently these images are AI fakes. The fact Trump was on Epstein’s plane and what Epstein was up to is not. Be careful. Elon’s X and his allowing so much disinformation here is driving the value of his app down by 55%.”
The images that the Hollywood actor shared were posted by an X user claiming that they were pictures of Trumpwho took two separate flights to Epstein’s “paedophile island,” but they turned out to be AI-generated.

Trump lashed out at the actor and theDemocrats over the incident saying, “This is what the Democrats do to their Republican Opponent, who is leading them, by a lot, in the Polls. This is A.I., and it is very dangerous for our Country! Also, I was never on Epstein’s Plane, or at his ‘stupid’ Island. Strong Laws ought to be developed against A.I. It will be a big and very dangerous problem in the future!”
Allegations against Trump
Earlier this month, previously sealed court documents related to Epstein’s decades of sexual abuse were released disclosing details about the case against him. The documents contained the names of prominent figures who reportedly were once connected to Epstein, including Trump.
