Musk Claims Senior US Democrats Named in Epstein Files

Elon Musk has reignited controversy by claiming that "major" US Democrats and their donors appear in the Jeffrey Epstein documents, which are currently under FBI review. The files, which reference numerous high-profile figures including President Donald Trump, do not imply guilt or wrongdoing according to authorities. Musk expressed skepticism that these documents would be fully disclosed even if a Democrat were president, stating that senior Democrats and their benefactors are also implicated, though he provided no evidence. The Epstein case, involving charges of sex trafficking underage girls and abuse on Epstein's private island, remains a subject of intense public scrutiny due to Epstein's connections to powerful political, financial, and media figures. Musk's previous claims about President Trump being in the files were later retracted, acknowledging he had "gone too far." The FBI continues to stress that appearing in the documents is not evidence of any crime.
