The feud between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump is expected to get brutal as the former announced exposing the Jeffrey Epstein files will be a top priority for his newly announced political venture, 'America Party.' Musk first questioned how people can be expected to have faith in US President Donald Trump if he does not release the files related to disgraced financier Epstein.

In a post on X, Musk asked, "How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won't release the Epstein files?"

A user reacted to his post and asked whether exposing Epstein files ranks high on the priority list of the America Party. In a post on X, the user wrote, "Will exposing the Epstein files rank high on the America Party's list?"

In response, Musk shared a "100" emoji.

In 2019, Epstein died in a New York prison cell as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges.

Trump mocks Musk's new party announcement

Earlier on Monday, Musk trolled Trump with a post mocking the administration for making no arrests related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Trump's former ally posted an image on his social media platform with text that read, "The Official Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter," showing "0000."

While sharing the picture on X, Musk stated, "What's the time? Oh look, it's no-one-has-been-arrested-o'clock again."

Trump explodes on questions on Epeisten

When a reporter asked questions on Epeisten on Tuesday (local time), Trump tried to dodge with an emotional angle related to Texas flooding that killed more than 100 people. Trump dubbed the reporters' question a total "waste of time".

"Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?" Trump said. "This guy, we have been talking about for years. You are asking... We have Texas and other issues, and people are still talking about this creep guy, which is unbelievable. You are a waste of time. I mean, I can't believe you are asking a question about him and at a time like this, when we are having some of the greatest success and tragedy with what happened in Texas. It seems like a disaggregation."

Musk-Trump feud

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. Meanwhile, Trump has left the door open to deporting the South African-born US citizen and suggested the DOGE could be turned against Musk's companies.
