Elon Musk has launched a fresh attack on the Department of Justice, slamming its findings that Jeffrey Epstein had no “client list” as “the final straw.”
Musk posted a series of memes mocking the Trump administration over its handling of the Epstein case and lashed out at the new FBI memo released Sunday night.
The memo said there was “no credible evidence” that Epstein had a “client list” to blackmail “prominent individuals” and confirmed the convicted pedophile died by suicide in a New York City jail cell on August 10, 2019.
“No further disclosure is appropriate or warranted,” the memo said, as the department said no further investigation will be launched.
The billionaire railed against the memo’s findings on social media. “This is the final straw,” Musk posted in response to a user on X.
He also posted a meme of a digital display set to zero to serve as “The Official Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter,” and attacked Attorney General Pam Bondi over her handling of the case.
President Donald Trump’s former “first buddy” has turned on the administration since he exited the White House last month and claimed the president was “in the Epstein files,” which he denied.
“Time to drop the really big bomb,” Musk posted on X. “@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”
He followed up shortly after: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”
Trump denied being on the list and later shared a statement from former Epstein lawyer David Schoen that said the president wasn’t implicated.
Musk deleted his post and a few days later said he had taken things “too far,” but this weekend Trump reignited his feud with the world’s richest man, saying Musk had gone “off the rails.”
Last week, Musk renewed calls for the administration to release the Epstein files after months of speculation, but the new memo is clear that no new evidence has been found and no further investigation will be launched.
Bondi was mocked after she invited right-wing influencers to the White House in February, where they were given binders that contained information largely already in the public domain.
