Musk wrote in his post: "How can people be expected to trust Trump if he won't release the Epstein files?" This statement quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens, continuing the public conflict between Musk and Trump. How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files? — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 8, 2025 Review of Musk and Trump's Conflict The tense relationship between Musk and Trump has recently escalated due to the "Big and Beautiful" tax bill strongly promoted by Trump. The bill provides tax benefits for traditional energy industries but imposes higher tax burdens on renewable energy companies, posing significant challenges to Tesla's electric vehicle business. Analysts point out that the bill could increase Tesla's operating costs, affect its competitiveness in the U.S. market, and hinder Musk's long-term vision of accelerating the global transition to sustainable energy. As early as June this year, Musk publicly criticized the "Big and Beautiful" bill, claiming it was detrimental to the U.S. economy and innovation. He even hinted on X platform that Trump's name appeared in the Epstein files and questioned whether this was the reason for the files' non-publication. However, Musk later deleted the relevant posts and did not provide any evidence to support his allegations, leading to speculation about his motives. On July 7, the Trump administration's Department of Justice announced it would no longer publicly release documents related to Epstein, claiming there was no so-called "client list", in an attempt to quell longstanding conspiracy theories. Musk responded on July 8 on X platform, questioning Trump's failure to fulfill his campaign promise of releasing the files, implying a lack of transparency and trying to incite public distrust in Trump. "American Party" will prioritize the public release of Epstein files Another noteworthy point is that Musk further revealed during interactions with netizens that his newly announced "American Party" will prioritize the public release of the Epstein files. It is understood that the American Party proposed by Musk emphasizes "transparency, science, and freedom" as core principles, attempting to challenge the political landscape of the two-party system in the U.S. He stated that the public release of the Epstein files is not only a pursuit of justice but also a test of government transparency.
