According to a report by CNN on June 5 local time, after Musk's criticism of Trump escalated from "attacking the Inflation Reduction Act" to "revealing that Trump's name was also in the Epstein case files," the White House also responded to this matter. Press Secretary Levi issued a statement that evening, describing it as an "unfortunate episode."
In a statement to CNN, Levi told: "This is an unfortunate episode for Elon, and he is dissatisfied with the Inflation Reduction Act because it does not include policies he personally wants. The President's focus is on pushing forward this historic bill to make America great again."
The financier mentioned by Musk, Epstein, was closely acquainted with many well-known figures in American politics and business. He turned his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands into an "adult paradise" for the enjoyment of the elite class, with numerous minors becoming victims. In 2019, Epstein was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to traffic and sexually exploit underage girls, but he was found dead in prison just over a month later. Despite numerous doubts and controversies, he was determined to have died by suicide.
Musk did not specify how he learned about Trump's connection to the Epstein case, nor did he provide any sources. Some U.S. media outlets analyzed that appearing in case-related records does not necessarily mean someone has acted improperly. Trump had previously been reported to have had private interactions with Epstein.
