Pump! Musk indicates Trump’s bond with sexual exploitation network of minors

Businessman Elon Musk published on Thursday, 5, a message relates former US President Donald Trump to businessman Jeffrey Epstein, investigated for involvement in a sexual exploitation network of minors. The statement was made on the social network X, a platform of which Musk owns.

“It’s time to release the really big bomb: @realdonaldtrump is in the Epstein archives. That’s the real reason why they weren’t made public. Have a good day,” musk wrote.

Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in 2019 after being charged with teenage sexual abuse in the United States. According to investigations, the crimes occurred in the early 2000s.

A month after his arrest, Epstein died in a federal cell, and the case was officially registered as suicide. At the time, he had already been mentioned in legal proceedings and extrajudicial agreements that indicated the existence of a network of allice and abuse.

Musk did not submit documents that support Trump’s allegation about Epstein’s alleged inclusion. The statement generated reactions of supporters and critics of the former president, who is a presidential candidate in the 2024 elections.

Donald Trump was sentenced in May 2024 in a process related to the concealment of an adult movie actress Stormy Daniels. The United States court concluded that it would have authorized accounting records to hide a $ 130,000 payment to the actress. The case occurred on the eve of the 2016 presidential election, of which Trump was winning.

According to the case file, the payment aimed to avoid the disclosure of an alleged meeting between Trump and Daniels, about ten years earlier. The trial was held in New York, and the jury was formed by 12 state citizens.

Although he was considered guilty, Trump received the penalty of “unconditional dismissal.” This type of conviction recognizes the defendant’s fault, but does not imply application of fine, prison or any other practical sanction. The former president was not arrested or prevented from running public office.

Elon Musk’s publication occurs amid the election period in the United States. The billionaire, who was close to Trump during the presidential term, stopped occupying functions linked to the US government. Musk even joined the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), an agency created during the Trump government for the purpose of proposing administrative spending and restructuring in federal agencies.

After Trump’s end, Doge was criticized by civil and parliamentary organizations. In 2025, protesters conducted protests against the measures adopted by the department and their effects on public administration.

There was no official response from Donald Trump’s team until the publication of this report. The former president’s advisory has avoided commenting on musk statements on social networks. The content of the post remains available on the businessman’s account on network X.

Elon Musk also did not disclose new clarifications on the subject. The publication was made without attachments, documents or links that support the statement. Representatives of social network X were sought by the US press, but did not issue a note of the content or possible moderation measures of the post.

Donald Trump’s name had already been quoted in previous reports related to the Epstein case. Judicial documents and public records mentioned meetings between Trump and Epstein in the early 2000s, before the investigation began. However, so far, there is no official confirmation of the inclusion of the former president in the procedural archives held by the US authorities.

Epstein also had relations with other public and business figures from the United States and other countries. The partial disclosure of its contact schedule has led to speculation about the extension of your connection network. Several of these names were cited in testimonials and reports, but not all were targets of formal investigation.

Musk’s post occurs in a moment of intense political polarization in the United States. The country is preparing for a new presidential election and accompanies the unfolding of various processes involving former Trump government member. The impact of the statement on the political scenario is still uncertain.
