In a series of posts on his social media platform X, Elon Musk mocked Donald Trump’s wild claim that files related to the federal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, the late sex offender and longtime Trump friend, are “a hoax”.

“Wow, amazing that Epstein ‘killed himself’ and Ghislaine is in federal prison for a hoax,” Musk wrote in response to video of Trump’s attempt to deflect questions about Epstein, and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, by casting doubt on the authenticity of the documents his justice department has refused to release.

“Not a single Epstein client has been prosecuted. Not a single one,” Musk pointed out in response to a copy of Trump’s long screed on the matter earlier in the day.

In response to the far-right podcaster Tim Pool, who said that “Trump is trying to nuke his base” by insisting that any of his supporters who “bought into” a hoax created by Democrats were “weaklings”, Musk wrote: “He should just release the files and point out which part is the hoax."

2. I had a feeling that Musk would be unable to resist the impulse to weigh in on

that statement--a statement that insults the intelligence of Musk and so many of his fanboys. A statement that basically calls Musk a liar. Gigantic egos can't resist a direct challenge.

3. I hate the fact that I've been having the same question about Maxwell

and these files being a hoax as Muskrat. If she were convicted on any evidence from a fake file of docs, then she needs to motion for a retrial, and someone should be exposed for prosecutorial misconduct.

I doubt it will happen, but I wish...
