In front of a German German chancellor, the war between Donald Trump and Elon Musk reached new heights this Thursday, June 5. After romance during the campaign and the first months of the mandate of the 47th US president, the break is consumed between the two billionaires, whose exchanges fired at a distance away.
While Donald Trump lamented, with the journalists present at the Oval office, for the deterioration of his relationship, the chief of X responded live in his social network. After ensuring that “Trump would have lost the elections” without him and accused the US president of “ingratitude”, Elon Musk threw heavy artillery to “throwing a great bomb.”
“Donald Trump appears in the Epstein archive. This is the real reason why they were not made public,” he said, referring to Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire who committed suicide in prison in 2019 when he was accused of the sexual exploitation of minors.
With these accusations, the richest man in the world has revived the many theories around this matter, which involves many personalities.
• How does the case start?
In 1998, the American financial one bought Little Saint James, a private island located in the British Virgin Islands. This island, nicknamed “The island of all sins” will be in the heart of the sexual exploitation network of Jeffrey Epstein Minors, which will be revealed twenty years later.
Epstein’s first issue dates back to 2008, when the American was sentenced to an organized sentence in prison of 13 months, in accordance with a secret agreement approved with Alexander Acosta, at that time the federal prosecutor in Florida, which allows him to escape federal procedures, while risking the prison for life.
He was then accused of having brought, between 2002 and 2005, having brought lower to his residences in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Florida, “to participate in sexual acts with him, after which he gave them hundreds of dollars in cash.”
While leaving his private jet on July 6, 2019, the FBI arrested the billionaire in the United States. Accused of being at the head of a vast traffic network for girls, the 66 -year -old financial one is accused two days later for the sexual exploitation of minors and association of criminals, which have a total of 45 years in prison.
When the scandal broke out, Alexander Acosta, now Donald Trump’s Minister of Labor, will be pressed to resign.
• Has the financial one judged?
Waiting for his trial, scheduled for June 2020, Jeffrey Epstein is imprisoned in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. Despite an attempt presented by their output lawyers under a tank of $ 100 million and under an electronic bracelet, Justice decides to maintain the arrest.
On August 10, 2019, around 6:30 am, Jeffrey Epstein was found hanging in his cell by prison agents. Despite resuscitation attempts, the financial one is declared dead. The autopsy will confirm a suicide hanging and the procedure addressed to him de facto.
On July 2, 2020, Ghislaine Maxwell, the former partner and former Epstein collaborator accused by several alleged victims of having helped them recruit them, was arrested in the United States, accused of minor traffic and detention. This 63 -year -old woman was sentenced on June 28, 2022 to 20 years in prison on June 28.
• What about the victims?
On January 3, 2024, a New York judge revealed a list of almost 200 names involved in the Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual network, from relatives to alleged accomplices through the victims.
One of them, the main plaintiff of the case, will become the symbol of this sexual exploitation network in minors. Virginia Giuffre, an American-Australian, accused American billionaire, of having used it as a “sex slave” in the early 2000s.
He had recovered his meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell, then Jeffrey Epstein’s partner, in the summer of 2000, at the age of 16, during a summer work at the Mar-A-Lago residence, owned by Donald Trump in Florida.
In a story similar to other victims, Virginia Giuffre had explained that she was too fragile to oppose Epstein’s massages, which had quickly transformed themselves into abuse, she who had already been a victim of sexual assault and had escaped several times in her childhood. In April 2025, at the age of 41, Virginia Gfffre committed suicide at home in Australia.
• What are the personalities cited in the declassified documents?
Epstein’s issue, which continues to regularly experience turns and turns, has splashed many public figures, involving the British royal family. Jeffrey Epstein, who had a worldly life worldwide, rubbed shoulders with international stars, of the artistic and political world.
The most striking case is that of Prince Andrew, son of Queen Elisabeth II. Near the American, the prince had denied “categorically”, on November 17, 2019 on British television, the accusations of sexual assault of Virginia Giuffre, who was then minor.
The latter had completed in 2022 a several million dollars with the brother of King Carlos III, who accused of sexual assault when he was a minor. Andrew has always denied the charges and avoided New York a trial by paying several million dollars.
Three days after his denial, the prince ended his public commitments “and remains until today in the royal family.
At the beginning of January 2024, dozens of judicial documents related to the case of Jeffrey Epstein, until now, were made public as part of a defamation procedure presented by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell.
The names reveal, which already circulated in the press of Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson or Stephen Hawking. But without the facts reproached to be reproached for them.
Former President Bill Clinton is accused, for example, of having traveled several times at the Jet Epstein, nicknamed the “Express Lolita” because young women were regularly on board. The Democrat recognizes some trips, but denies having participated in the “system” of Epstein.
• And Donald Trump in all this?
Therefore, it was Elon Musk’s statements that relaunched theories about the links between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. In July 2019, a few days after the arrest of the billionaire, a video dating from 1992 emerged from the NBC channel archives.
In these images, the two billionaires delight in Mar-A-Lago. The two men, one next to the other, look at women to dance on the dance floor. Donald Trump seems to comment on the scene, causing the hilarity of his guest.
Donald Trump has always denied having spent time in Epstein’s property on his private island Little Saint James, where he dedicated himself to his sexual trafficking. According to American media surveys, despite his denials, Donald Trump has traveled aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s jet at least seven times. And the two men participated in the same nights in the 1990s.
At the beginning of the 2000s, the future US president, who was Epstein’s neighbor in Florida and New York, described the financial as a “formidable type.”
“It is very fun to be with him. He even tells himself that he loves beautiful women as much as he, and many of them are very young,” he said at that time.
After his arrest, who was then the 45th president of the United States, I had changed my tone: “I knew him 15 years ago. He was not a fan of Jeffrey Epstein. He was not someone whom I respected.”
While the supporters of the Republican President, interested in conspiracy theories, say that personalities close to Epstein have seen their role in their hidden sexual crimes, without quoting Trump, no official source has never confirmed that the president appeared in one of the qualified documents.
Before his re -election, Donald Trump said that “he would not have problems” to make public the archives related to Epstein. A promise that your administration did not have. What relives theories.
