That acrid odor in the air right now is the smell of bridges burning. Many predicted that the friendship between thin-skinned drama queens Elon Musk and Donald Trump wasn’t built to last, but few thought it’d go supernova quite so dramatically.
Last night, amidst bad blood over the disastrous DOGE and acrimony over Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’, Musk alleged that the reason the Epstein files hadn’t been released is because Trump is heavily featured in them, thus insinuating that the president is a pedophile.
Time to drop the really big bomb:@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.

Have a nice day, DJT!
Anyone’s who’s been paying the slightest bit of attention to Musk over the last year will have known a crash-out was inevitable. He began the year by throwing up a Nazi salute to the world’s media and seems to have spent the last few months in a ketamine-addled haze, with reports alleging he’s abused the drug to such an extent it’s seriously damaged his bladder.
So, his health, businesses, reputation, and arguably his citizenship are now in question, and the entire political spectrum now hates his guts. What better time to tempt him over to being a Democrat supporter?!
Masterful politics!
Incredibly, that’s what’s being reported in Politico, with Dem operatives now apparently eyeing up Musk for a redemption arc. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), who represents Silicon Valley and is a longtime Musk associate, insists Democrats must enter “a dialogue” with Musk:
“We should ultimately be trying to convince him that the Democratic Party has more of the values that he agrees with. A commitment to science funding, a commitment to clean technology, a commitment to seeing international students like him.”
Centrist Dem boob Liam Kerr thinks it’s a no-brainer to throw open the doors to this chaotic, self-destructive, and unpleasant creep. “Of course” he should be back, Kerr opined. “You don’t want anyone wildly distorting your politics, which he has a unique capability to do. But it’s a zero-sum game. Anything that he does that moves more toward Democrats hurts Republicans.”
Yes, um, guys. So. Elon is… let’s go with “tainted”. And, from a political strategy point of view, maybe welcoming someone willing to toss up a “Heil Hitler” on stage and, given his immense wealth, granting him vast influence over your party isn’t such a hot idea.
But then I’m just some humble journalist and these people are high-flying political strategists. I mean, they only just got crushed in an election by Donald Trump after spending months welcoming the likes of Liz Cheney and Anthony Scaramucci on stage. So what do I know?
