Elon Musk, who escalated his feud with US President Donald Trump by announcing the formation of a new political party, has now said that releasing the Epstein files would be high on his America Party’s priority list.
The fallout between the two deepened after Republicans passed a major policy bill supported by Trump, prompting Musk to declare his intention to back primary challengers against GOP members who voted for it.
In response, Trump dismissed Musk’s new party as “ridiculous" and labelled him a “train wreck," criticising the effort as one doomed to fail in the US political system.
Responding to a question on X, on if exposing the Epstein files rank high on the America Party’s list, Musk dropped a ‘hundred points’ symbol, signifying his assurance for the same.
The feud between Musk and Trump marks a major turn in their relationship. Trump had once praised Musk’s government cost-cutting efforts and even presented him with a gold key to the White House.
During his stint with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk had an office at the White House and appeared prominently in Cabinet meetings, The Hill reported.
However, now, Trump has hinted at deporting the South African-born US citizen and potentially turning DOGE against Musk’s companies.
