Trump's administration faced backlash following claims regarding Jeffrey Epstein, with White House officials denying the existence of a client list connected to him. Allegations of tampered surveillance footage intensified scrutiny on Trump, leading to a fraught response from the former president on Truth Social, where he defended his position on Epstein. His supporters reacted negatively, resulting in a high ratio of comments to likes on his post. Elon Musk criticized Trump's remarks, calling them the 'worst post ever made' and urged the release of promised files, further fracturing their relationship.
In a nearly 400-word post on Truth Social, a fuming Trump attempted to regain control of the narrative, baselessly claiming that Epstein is 'somebody that nobody cares about.'
The terse announcement flew in the face of widespread conspiracy theories, long touted by both Trump officials and prominent MAGA figures, further fanning the flames of a growing crisis for the White House.
Musk dove into the conversation as well, agreeing with another user on his own platform, X, who called Trump's rambling the 'worst post ever made.'
Just release the files as promised, Musk added, highlighting the tension between his platform and Trump’s narrative.
