Elon Musk Trolls Trump After DOJ Refuses to Share More Epstein Info in order to Protect 'Innocent Individuals'
Trump’s DOJ now claims there is no Epstein client list. They also say they don’t want to “expose innocent individuals to ‘allegations of wrongdoing.’”

Do you remember when Q-Anon was screaming about fictional sex trafficking in “PizzaGate” in 2016? That was back when they “cared” about sex trafficking, albeit only when they accused a Democrat and or critic of Donald Trump of it.
So it comes as no surprise that Trump’s DOJ has now “concluded” there is no Epstein client list. You know, the list they said they were going to publish. That now does not exist.
“DOJ, FBI conclude Epstein had no "client list," died by suicide,” Axios first reported.
Trump’s DOJ and FBI (and yes, they are his as he is said to be influencing them, contrary to how they should be operating) have concluded that there’s no evidence Jeffrey Epstein “blackmailed powerful figures, kept a "client list" or was murdered.”
Oddly, this is being reported as the Trump administration quashing a conspiracy theory, but what they are also quashing is disclosure about Epstein information. They say they don’t want to “expose innocent individuals to ‘allegations of wrongdoing.’”
The memo says much of the material relates to child sexual abuse, details of Epstein's victims, and information that would expose innocent individuals to "allegations of wrongdoing."
What kind of “wrongdoing”? Because simple logic suggests that the client base would be accused of wrongdoing, not the victims. So why is that a secret? Why is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison on a 20 year sentence but the purported clients are being let off?
Notice that they mention child sexual abuse first and also hide behind not wanting to release CSAM, which I don’t believe anyone has asked them to release. This is typical in emotional manipulation; they are heightening the mental and emotional distress of the public in order to justify why they aren’t releasing the information.
No one has asked for that material to be shared. What they have asked for is the list of clients who made the sex trafficking of children lucrative. Without the clients, there is no business.
The Trump administration’s answer to that is they don’t want to expose innocent people to allegations of wrongdoing, which suggests that the DOJ and FBI under Trump is incapable of vetting information to determine which clients on the list likely engaged in illegal activities. It’s entirely possible that these people are too incompetent to vet material properly, but that hasn’t stopped them before from spreading lies and conspiracies.
So why are they silent now?
Elon Musk, who a month ago threatened to release the Epstein files and claimed they hadn’t been released because Trump was on them, trolled Trump today after news:
Kash Patel and Dan Bongino Both Believed in Epstein Conspiracies
“FBI director Kash Patel and deputy director Dan Bongino, both loyalists of US President Donald Trump, were among those to spruik Epstein conspiracy theories before they were appointed to their positions earlier this year.
But both of have since said Epstein, a financier who was friends with the rich and famous, killed himself,” The Sydney Morning Herald reported after Axios’ exclusive about the Trump administration’s claims that the files do not exist.
Back When There Was a List
Back on February 22, 2025, AG Pam Bondi was asked on Fox News if the Epstein list would be released and she responded the (Epstein files) "is sitting on my desk right now, that’s been a directive from President Trump to review.”
She was asked if she had seen anything that made her say, ‘Oh my gosh’? And she responded, “Not yet.”
‘Not yet’ implies that she began reading these documents, which further suggests that they existed back in February of this year. Weeks after Trump took office.
