New Delhi,June 6- Tech billionaire Elon Musk has stirred a political firestorm, sharing a 1992 video showing US President Donald Trump ‘partying’ with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The video that he posted on his social media platform ‘X’ suggested that Trump had connections with hidden government files related to Epstein’s alleged crimes.
In the clip, Trump can be seen dancing with women and socialising with Epstein.
Trump’s former advisor and close aide did not offer any proof but the post reignited public interest in the files and to an extent also dented his image. Apparently, efforts are being made by aides to make peace between the duo–Trump and his advisor who played a key role in his election as the US President.
Who is Jeffery Epstein
Jeffrey Epstein is a disgraced financier and convicted sex offender.
The “Epstein files” refer to thousands of documents, videos and investigative materials gathered over the years in connection with Epstein and his associates.
Many documents are still sealed or heavily redacted.
Why is Musk upset with Trump
Trump and Musk have been trading insults following a break in relationship that came after the tech billionaire Musk started criticising the US President’s key domestic policies.
After leaving the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), Musk began lobbying against Trump’s “big, beautiful” spending bill passed by the US House last month, calling it a “disgusting abomination”
“”Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong,” he said, arguing that the bill will irresponsibly add to the US national debt.
Trump, meanwhile, said he was “disappointed” with his former advisor’s criticisms of his government’s centrepiece tax and spending bill, and that it may be the end of their “great relationship”.
Musk then accused Trump of “ingratitude”
“Without me, Trump would have lost the election,” he claimed.
