The Epstein Files were actually opened on June 5th of last year. [View all]

That was the day that Donald Trump gave Elon Musk a gold key and kicked him out of the White House. This was a severe blow to the ego of "the richest man in the world".

He took to "X", formerly Twitter, and expressed his anger and resentment. He said the "big beautiful bill" would raise the deficit and that Trump should be impeached and Vance should replace him. He said that Trump's tariffs would cause a recession.

Then he said it. That the real reason the Epstein files had not been made public was because Donald Trump's name was in them. That opened the Pandora's box that we see today.

It was not the Democrats that insisted on making the Epstein files public. They only went along with the MAGA supporters that wanted the files opened. It was Elon Musk that started the ball rolling on the Epstein files.
