Without me, Trump would have lost the 2024 presidential election : Elon Musk

Elon Musk claims after argument with Trump

Washington (USA) – Tensions have arisen in the friendship between US President Donald Trump and famous American entrepreneur Elon Musk. There has been a dispute between them since Musk resigned from an organization that supports the Trump Government. “Without me, Trump would have lost the 2024 presidential election. Democrats would control the House (of Representatives), and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Elon Musk has claimed.

Musk had earlier criticized Trump, when Trump had responded by saying, “Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore. Tesla chief must have been disappointed after the decision to tax electric vehicles. I am very disappointed…I’ve helped Elon a lot.”

Musk’s warning to Trump

Elon Musk posted on ‘X’, “Time to drop the really big bomb. Trump is in the ‘Epstein Files’. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT (Trump). Mark this post for the future,” he warned.

What are the ‘Epstein Files’ ?

Jeffrey Epstein was a wealthy financer in the United States. In 2005, he was accused of paying a 14-year-old girl for sex. Several other young women have since made similar allegations of abuse. In February 2025, a document called ‘The Epstein Files: Phase 1’ was made public. It included a list of people associated with Epstein. Epstein was believed to have made money by managing the financial affairs of very wealthy individuals. In 2008, he was sentenced to 13 months in prison in Florida for a crime related to child prostitution. He was accused of running a large sex trafficking ring involving minors. He lured underage girls with money or assistance and then exploited them. Later that year, Epstein was found dead in his cell in a New York prison. He was said to have committed suicide.
