The world's richest man Elon Musk isn't happy with the FBI's release of the Jeffrey Epstein 'client list' after it proved President Donald Trump wasn't involved - or nobody else for that matter.
Musk had previously accused the US politician of being named in the infamous Epstein files during a social media tirade. This was fresh off walking away from Trump's administration because of the 'Big Ugly Spending Bill' his once-close friend was putting into force.
"Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files," he tweeted. "That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!"
He later added: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”

Subsequent FBI findings released to the public state quite the opposite, though, and Musk has now responded via X.
The CEO of SpaceX applied an enraged emoji next to clown meme, which sees a man get gradually made up with circus facepaint over four stages.
"WE WILL RELEASE THE EPSTEIN LIST," the meme's annotation began. "WE JUST NEED MORE TIME. THE EPSTEIN LIST IS ON MY DESK. THERE IS NO EPSTEIN LIST."
In Musk's eyes, they're covering up for Trump by just completely dismissing the existence of an incriminating list.
In a memo first seen by Axios, the Justice Department and FBI stated that they found no evidence that Epstein was murdered, despite the ongoing conspiracy theories that the convicted sex offender did not kill himself.
They even released footage they say proves he took his own life.
This comes after Attorney General Pam Bondi promised the public release of scores of records associated with federal probes into Epstein.
Bondi claimed the frustrating delay was attributed to ‘tens of thousands’ of videos within the FBI's possession showing potential pornography of minors. The memo also detailed the revelations for Trump's Justice Department and the FBI, which debunked one of the primary conspiracies regarding Epstein's death.
Apparently, they found no evidence to suggest Epstein owned a ‘client list’ that he wielded for blackmailing purposes.
"This systematic review revealed no incriminating 'client list'. There was also no evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties," read the report.
It went on to say that much of the recovered Epstein material showed there had been thousands of victims and included specific details about these victims, such as likeness, places of birth and associates.
Investigators have also said they viewed a video from the Manhattan prison that supports a medical examiner’s finding that Epstein took his own life.
The report also mentioned the failure to assign the billionaire another cellmate after he was placed on suicide watch. The Justice Department explained their determination not to release further records tied to the Epstein investigation in the future.
They noted that the government’s ‘highest priorities is combatting child exploitation and bringing justice to victims’ and added that ‘perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither of those ends’.
"While we have laboured to provide the public with maximum information regarding Epstein and ensured examination of any evidence in the government’s possession, it is the determination of the DOJ and the FBI that no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted," they added.
