The “Epstein files” include court documents, contact lists, and flight logs tied to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein

Many believe powerful figures are named in these files. Musk suggested Trump’s name is among them — a claim not yet proven

Musk posted that Trump’s name is in the hidden files, which is why, he says, they haven’t been fully released yet

[{"selector":"#anim-1592be58-503e-4b37-8da1-1da3017ce907 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-37.69531243183544%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2500,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8ede3d16-c2fb-422f-ab27-61d3dc60ec5e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":2800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
