Tech billionaire Elon Musk has continued to fuel public intrigue surrounding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as the federal government faces growing pressure<\/a> to release additional information from the criminal case against the late financier.<\/p>\n

Musk first planted the seeds<\/a> of the latest Epstein controversy during his feud with President Trump last month, when the Tesla CEO alleged Trump was named in the Epstein files and said, \u201cThat is the real reason they have not been made public\u201d \u2014 a claim the White House has flatly rejected.<\/p>\n

But as the calls have grown louder<\/a> for greater transparency on Epstein’s files, from both lawmakers and the public<\/a>, Musk has continued to use his social media platform to encourage their questions about the scope of the government\u2019s authority and the details of what documents likely have been preserved.<\/p>\n

He launched a series of questions at his artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, late Wednesday and early Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre there likely to be electronic records in any government or commercial computers recording who traveled on Epstein\u2019s plane to the US Virgin Islands?\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Grok said yes, the records \u201clikely exist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Musk responded<\/a>: \u201cWould that mean the government right now \u2013 as we speak \u2013 knows the names & ages of all those who traveled on Epstein\u2019s plane? In other words, they have a list of all unaccompanied minors on those flights, along with a list of all adults on those flights?\u201d<\/p>\n

Grok responded by noting the Justice Department and Federal Aviation Administration hold \u201cextensive passenger manifests and flight logs from Epstein\u2019s jets.\u201d The chatbot said names are often included, but ages are not always listed.<\/p>\n

Grok, in a subsequent post, noted the Justice Department recently said there are likely hundreds of victims in the criminal cases related to Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver 1000 confirmed young victims is a shockingly large and tragic number! In order for the government to confirm that the girls were victimized, they would have had to name or at least describe who raped them,\u201d Musk responded in a post<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis would necessarily mean that the government MUST have the list of rapists aka \u2018the Epstein client list\u2019 in their possession right f\u2011\u2011\u2011ing now!\u201d Musk continued.<\/p>\n

In separate posts, Musk responded to other users who questioned where the evidence in the Epstein case is being held.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, where is it?\u201d Musk wrote in response<\/a> to one post.<\/p>\n

In another post, he responded to a photo<\/a> of a binder released from the Justice Department earlier this year, titled, \u201cThe Epstein Files: Phase 1.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere is Phase 2?\u201d Musk asked.<\/p>\n

The Justice Department and FBI issued a joint memo last week<\/a> that said Epstein did not have a client list and confirmed he died by suicide \u2014 not due to foul play, as many suspected \u2014 in his New York City jail cell in 2019.<\/p>\n

The findings incensed members of the MAGA movement, who have for years pushed conspiracy theories about Epstein\u2019s death and claims that prominent Democrats would be named on a client list.<\/p>\n

Even staunch Trump supporters, such as far-right activist Laura Loomer and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), have been critical of the handling of the files and called for a special counsel<\/a> to investigate.<\/p>\n

But Trump has fired back at the criticism<\/a> and bashed \u201cfoolish Republicans,\u201d who he said were helping Democrats by focusing on the Epstein documents.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net, and so they try and do the Democrats\u2019 work,\u201d Trump said Wednesday during an Oval Office meeting with the crown prince of Bahrain.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call it the Epstein hoax. Takes a lot of time and effort. Instead of talking about the great achievements we\u2019ve had \u2026 they\u2019re wasting their time with a guy who obviously had some very serious problems, who died three, four years ago. I\u2019d rather talk about the success we have with the economy,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
