Jeffrey Epstein’s defense attorney has blown a massive hole in entrepreneur Elon Musk’s claims about President Donald Trump’s connection to the deceased sexual predator.

Trump and Musk got into a high-profile cyber feud on Thursday that dominated the X platform. During the verbal donnybrook between the two men, things took an ugly turn when Musk claimed Trump “is in the Epstein files” and “that is the real reason they have not been made public.”

Time to drop the really big bomb:@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.

Have a nice day, DJT!

Musk provided no evidence to substantiate his claims, nor did he explain how he supposedly obtained this information. Nevertheless, his comment sparked debate and speculation about the issue since many have been waiting for the release of the Epstein Files since the president took office.

David Schoen, in a post on X, noted that he was “hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein’s defense as his criminal lawyer 9 days before he died.” The predator solicited Schoen’s advice for months before his death.

“I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump,” Schoen wrote. “I specifically asked him!”

Elon Claims Trump ‘Is In The Epstein Files’ In Bombshell Post– trendingpoliticsnews.com

What started as a disagreement over electric vehicle subsidies has now erupted into a full-blown war of words between two of the most powerful men in America. In a dramatic and unfiltered post on X Thursday afternoon, Elon Musk accused President Donald Trump of being named in the unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files — a stunning claim that sent social media into a frenzy.

“Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,” Musk posted to his 200+ million followers. “That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”

Musk offered no evidence in his post but doubled down minutes later. “Mark this post for the future,” he wrote. “The truth will come out.”

The post marks the lowest point yet in what has become a bitter and public unraveling of the once-close relationship between the SpaceX and Tesla CEO and the 47th president.

White House allies ‘disappointed’ at Musk’s opposition to megabill– www.politico.com

Republican allies close to the White House are privately arguing that the former special government employee — who spent Tuesday afternoon blasting the spending bill and threatening to retaliate against its supporters — is opposing the bill because it harms the tech billionaire’s business interests.

The House-passed megabill represents the president’s chief — and potentially only — major legislative priority this Congress. But Elon Musk’s opposition suggests that the coalition that vaulted Trump to the White House is still facing internal disagreement over it as it makes its way through the Senate. It marks another dust-up between the MAGA and Tech Right. And it raises the possibility some members face pressure from Musk if they ultimately support it. 

“The West Wing is perplexed, unenthused, and disappointed” with Musk, who left the White House to attend to his ailing business empire, according to one White House official, who like others interviewed for this story were granted anonymity to be candid about an ally who spent hundreds of millions to ensconce them in the White House.

‘The View’ Host: Elon Musk Killed 300,000 People with DOGE Cuts – ‘Mostly Children’– slaynews.com

ABC News propaganda show “The View” has pushed wild claims about Elon Musk’s service to the U.S. federal government.

On Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin launched an eyebrow-raising attack on Musk.

Hostin blamed Musk, without citing any specific evidence, for the loss of “300,000 lives, mostly children.”

She attributed this alleged death toll to Musk’s involvement in President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The initiative is focused on streamlining the federal government.

As part of the endeavor, DOGE proposed cuts in personnel, contracts, and foreign aid.

“But the damage that he did was just really incredible,” Hostin said.

The relationship between President Trump and Elon Musk rapidly disintegrated on Thursday, fulfilling predictions of a messy breakup that the world’s most powerful man and its richest man had defied for months.

Trump told reporters in an Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz that he was “very surprised” and “very disappointed” in Musk, who spent millions of dollars to help Trump get elected, served in his administration for four months but has since mounted a campaign against the president’s signature policy bill.

Musk responded on social media, claiming credit for Trump’s electoral victory last November.

It was a dramatic turnaround for the two men, who just days ago were together in the Oval Office as Trump presented Musk a ceremonial key to the White House.

Republicans Are At Each Other’s Throats As Elon Musk And Mike Johnson Go To War Over Big Beautiful Bill– www.politicususa.com

Excerpt:

There is only one question that needs to be answered when assessing Elon Musk’s criticism of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. Does Musk have the political juice with Republicans to derail the legislation?

This all started when Musk posted to X:

I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.

Musk went on to criticize the bill for adding to the deficit.

The post rocked Republicans in Congress just as the Senate is starting work on changes to the legislation.

Speaker Mike Johnson responded to Musk by starting out with political niceties, but his remarks to reporters transitioned into:

 I know that the, the EV mandate is very important to him. That is going away because the government should not be subsidizing these things as part of the Green New Deal. And I, I know that has an effect on his business.

And I lament that we, we talked about the ramp down period on that and, and how that should be duly considered by Congress, but for him to come out and hand the whole bill, is to me just very disappointing, very surprising in light of the conversation I had with him yesterday.

Johnson was asked if Musk’s concern for Tesla is driving this and he answered:

I’m gonna let others draw their own conclusions about that, but this is not personal between any of us. I just, I, I just deeply regret that he is made this, this mistake. I would tell you, listen, I’m gonna remind everybody again. Every hardworking American ought to be in favor of this bill…

And that is a dangerous thing for Elon or anyone who has, um, who cares about the US economy to, to be meddling with. And I think the risk is very great. We have to pass this legislation. The Senate is doing some good, thoughtful, deliberate work right now. We’re looking forward to moving it through the process and this, and the president is very much looking forward to signing that into law by Independence Day.

Elon Musk is still going after the Big Beautiful Bill, using whatever he can to get his point across. Today’s show breaks it down.

“You can argue that these cuts aren’t enough to offset the tax cut extension, but there’s no debating the fact that the left loves what Elon Musk is doing—and how he’s doing it,” Crowder said. “Even if you disagree, you’d better be absolutely sure, and make sure the left can’t use it to hurt your brothers and sisters in office.”

According to Musk, the bill would destroy any gains made by Doge.

“I understand that we cannot spend our way into prosperity, but the entire deficit increase comes from the extended tax cuts,” Crowder said.

According to the White House:

So-called “forecasts” (including by the CBO) predicting higher deficits are based on a false assumption that President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts will expire. In reality, extending the CURRENT tax rates — which this legislation does — has zero impact on the deficit.

Of course, the $1.7 trillion savings is partly offset by one-time spending on border security and additional tax cuts (NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME) — which brings the net deficit reduction to exactly $1.407 trillion.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie joins Elon Musk in opposing Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful’ spending bill– www.lifesitenews.com

(Conservative Treehouse) — If you have walked the deep political weeds with us, you will likely remember the warnings. Thomas Massie, Chip Roy, Rand Paul, and other fellow republican travelers will join with Elon Musk and the alligator emoji network to oppose President Donald Trump as soon as they can get back into the minority.

There is an intention behind this alignment of interests, which includes the Tech Bros (and Sea Island), that ends with a Vance-DeSantis promoted effort in 2028. The only thing standing in their way is MAGA. As a result, MAGA must be fractured.

The money center behind the strategy is working on a learning curve. Having failed with prior launches of similar approaches (ref. DeSantis ‘23/‘24), they are now doing much more proactive seeding.

Yeah, I know, I know, some will say I’m crazy. I’m not. I’ve watched this exact group’s constructs for over 14 years now. All the data indicates this approach; the only unknown variables are the names of the political representatives who will participate. Now, Thomas Massie is asking Elon Musk to fund primary challengers against the House Republicans who support Donald Trump. From Fox News:

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said Elon Musk should fund primary challenges against almost every Republican who voted for President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” last week. “I don’t primary my colleagues, but I feel pretty good about him doing it,” Massie told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.

“There’s a few others that should be spared,” when asked to clarify if he meant all 215 House Republicans who supported the legislation. “But people want term limits, right? Elon can bring term limits.”

Musk came out against the massive Trump agenda bill that House Republicans passed last week. “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it,” Musk first posted.

It was followed by several posts on the national debt, and one that read, “In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people.”

Massie said on Wednesday, “I just think he made one mistake when misstatement – he said take them out in November. I would take them out in primaries if I were Elon Musk.”

Elon Musk Announces End to His Time in Trump Administration, DOGE– gellerreport.com

Excerpt:

Elon Musk announced that his time working in the Trump administration as a “Special Government Employee” is drawing to a close, and he thanked President Donald Trump.

“As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,” Musk wrote in a post on X. “The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”

Musk’s post comes as the New York Times reported that Musk is “operating with some distance from” Trump, with alleged “White House officials,” claiming that Musk is on “good terms” with the president, though he is “disillusioned with Washington and frustrated with the obstacles he encountered as he upended the federal bureaucracy”:

Mr. Musk, who once called himself the president’s “first buddy,” is now operating with some distance from Mr. Trump as he says he is ending his government work to spend more time on his companies. Mr. Musk remains on good terms with Mr. Trump, according to White House officials. But he has also made it clear that he is disillusioned with Washington and frustrated with the obstacles he encountered as he upended the federal bureaucracy, raising questions about the strength of the alliance between the president and the world’s richest man.

Musk Signs off From DOGE Life

pgnewser May 28, 2025 0

Elon Musk has announced his scheduled departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will not be altered. He declared on X, “As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending. The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”

His announcement follows his reaction to the current iteration of President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill now being considered by the Senate. He wrote about the bill, “I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing. I think a bill can be big or it could be beautiful,” he continued with a smile. “But I don’t know if it could be both.”

Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk told CBS News Tuesday he is “disappointed” in the spending codified in the Republicans’ “big, beautiful bill.”

“I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,” the Tesla CEO said.

“I think a bill can be big or it could be beautiful,” he continued with a smile. “But I don’t know if it could be both.”

After months of negotiations and 48 straight hours of work, House Republicans successfully passed the budget reconciliation bill. House Speaker Mike Johnson has been urging the Senate to alter the legislation as little as possible given the “delicate” consensus House GOP leadership crafted on the president’s landmark bill, but President Donald Trump approved Senate Republicans making “the changes they want” in the sweeping tax and spending bill.

Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller responded to criticisms that the spending bill does not “codify the DOGE cuts” earlier Tuesday.

“A reconciliation bill, which is a budget bill that passes with 50 votes, is limited by senate rules to ‘mandatory’ spending only—eg Medicaid and Food Stamps,” Miller wrote. “The senate rules prevent it from cutting ‘discretionary’ spending—eg the Department of Education or federal grants. The DOGE cuts are overwhelmingly discretionary, not mandatory. The bill saves more than 1.6 TRILLION in mandatory spending, including the largest-ever welfare reform. A remarkable achievement.”

Elon Musk’s SpaceX launches Starship but loses control mid-flight within 30 minutes, crashes into Indian Ocean | Watch video |– timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Excerpt:

In a groundbreaking move for aerospace engineering, SpaceX launched the ninth integrated test flight of its Starship Super Heavy system from Starbase in South Texas on Tuesday evening. Unlike previous missions aimed at precision landings, this flight intentionally ended in a powerful splashdown. The goal was to gather critical data on the rocket’s structural limits and boost progress toward full reusability. This dramatic crash was a calculated experiment, marking a pivotal step in SpaceX’s mission to create reliable, reusable launch systems for future space exploration, including routine missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

SpaceX Starship lost control in mid-flight causing mission to end with ocean crash

At 7:36 p.m. EDT (2336 GMT), the completely integrated Starship launch vehicle — consisting of the upper-stage Starship spacecraft riding on top of the Super Heavy booster — departed from SpaceX’s Starbase complex on the Gulf Coast near Brownsville, Texas.The launch was live-streamed on SpaceX’s webcast, with observers seeing the rocket rise into the evening sky. The firing of Super Heavy’s 33 Raptor engines created a powerful plume of fire, exhaust, and water vapor, marking another milestone in the company’s long-term build-out of fully reusable spaceflight systems.For the first time, a previously launched Super Heavy booster powered a Starship flight — an important step toward SpaceX’s larger goal of routine, reusable spaceflight. This specific booster had been upgraded since its previous mission and was being asked to prove it could withstand repeated launches and touchdowns.A few minutes into flight, the first-stage booster broke away from the upper-stage Starship vehicle as anticipated. But SpaceX lost communication with the booster during descent, and it’s thought to have crashed into the ocean instead of executing the controlled splashdown SpaceX had intended. This kept engineers from capturing the full range of descent and landing data, though initial flight data will still be helpful.
