Observer.com News, on June 5 local time, Musk openly broke up with Trump and started a verbal battle. Musk posted that Trump's name was "in Epstein's file" and said that this is the "real reason" that the relevant files have not been published yet. Later on the 6th, Trump responded to Musk's allegations.
On the same day, Trump retweeted a tweet from American lawyer David Schoen on the "Real Social" platform, which read: "Nine days before Epstein's death, I was hired as his criminal defense attorney to lead his defense team. In the months before that, he had been consulting me for legal advice. I can say authoritatively, explicitly, and affirmatively that he has no information that may be unfavorable to President Trump. I asked him this specifically!"

It is understood that Schon once served as Epstein's defense attorney, and he also served as the defense attorney for the second President Trump impeachment case in 2021.
Epstein is a financier who has had close contacts with many well-known figures in the political and business circles of the United States. He built a private island located in the US Virgin Islands into an "adult paradise" for the enjoyment of the powerful and the many minors became victims.
In July 2019, Epstein was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to traffick and sexually assault a minor woman. He died in a prison in New York on August 10 of the same year. The forensic doctor found him dead because of suicide. Trump was president at the time and denied that he had to do with Epstein's sex dealings, saying he knew Epstein "like everyone in Palm Beach" but "had a long time ago."
In 2024, Trump repeatedly claimed during the US presidential campaign that if he was elected, Epstein's list of "Loli Island" customers would be made public. On February 27 this year, the US Department of Justice finally released the first batch of documents in the Epstein case, but there was no "drug information" in the documents. Netizens and even members of Congress said it was "disappointing" and accused the Department of Justice and the FBI of concealing the truth.
In a June 5 tweet, Musk did not specify how he knew that Trump was related to the Epstein case, nor did he provide his source.
The US media previously analyzed that the appearance of certain names in court documents does not mean that the person had participated in the sex transactions organized by Epstein, and it only means that they had dated. Trump's name also appears in the document, but this has not caused much controversy because Trump and Epstein had close contacts.
In response to Musk's allegations, White House Press Secretary Levitt responded on the 5th: "This is a regrettable episode for Elon. He is dissatisfied with the 'Big and American Act' because it does not include the policies he personally wants. The focus of the president's work is to promote the passage of this historic bill so that the United States can be great again."
