‘Bannon in the Epstein files’: Elon Musk erupts as Trump holds Cabinet meeting<\/b><\/h2>"},"content":{"rendered":"

\n

Estranged former DOGE administrator Elon Musk erupted as President Donald\u00a0Trump<\/a> held a cabinet meeting without him.<\/p>\n

While Trump was speaking at the Tuesday meeting, Musk ranted to Roger Stone, one of the president’s advisers, about accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

“Why would Jeffrey Epstein associate Steve Bannon try to help Robert Mueller send me to prison by perjuring himself at my trial?” Stone\u00a0asked<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n

“Bannon is in the Epstein files,” Musk\u00a0replied<\/a>, while offering no evidence to back up the accusation.<\/p>\n

The world’s richest man also responded to other posts about Epstein.<\/p>\n

“The Epstein List will never be released,” one X user\u00a0noted<\/a>. “We’ve been had.”<\/p>\n

“Yes,” Musk\u00a0agreed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“They arrested (and killed)\u00a0Peanut<\/a>, but have not even tried to file charges against anyone on the Epstein client list,” he wrote in a subsequent post linking to a story about a pet squirrel.<\/p>\n

“Government is deeply broken.”<\/p>\n

Last month, Musk declared that Trump was also in the Epstein files before later\u00a0deleting the post<\/a>.<\/p>\n
