Why did Elon say that Trump is in the Epstein files?

How did that tweet benefit him? To what end did that tweet serve?

Elon has done/said several things that don't seem to have a benefit to him.

Because Trump lied about him on X. Elon fired back.

It was a dumb X spat; nothing more.

Elon knows who is on the list but won’t reveal it so he demands that it be released even though he has seen it and could easily share it. The board’s logic never ceases to amaze lol

Elon showed his petty side. He’s used to getting what he wants.

And technically He’s right because Trump was in the files when he was exonerated by one of the defendants who said he wasn’t on the island. Meaning he wasn’t on the client list.

So Elon is being both cheeky and vindictive at the same time.

Why is nobody clamoring for him to spill the beans on what he purportedly knows?

What’s holding him back?

Elon was shrooming.

You’ve never done nothing on shrooms you regretted the next day?

I'm open to the possibility, that the world's wealthiest, and one of the most powerful and influential men in the world has access to information the rest of us don't have access to.

You say that like Elon showed his "petty side" out of the blue. No pettiness from Trump was involved in the exchange?

Those subsidies may go away, but starlink will likely now win the bulk of the BEAD funding that was initially designed for fiber optic cable for national connectivity….that’s a $42B program. The Trump admin NTIA folks changed the rules right BEFORE that tweet by Elon.

Right? Elon has never seen any relevant epstein files. People act like he just plugged in his laptop to white house internet and gained access to all FBI files

I think it is a bit more complicated than that. He knew from day 1 the EV subsidies were getting cut. Which would actually help Tesla because they already were the leader in the industry (sales, production efficiency, etc), it would have hurt everyone else much more.

What changed was deranged violent Democrats committing acts of terrorism on his dealerships and car buyers, tanking his stock and killing demand.

Combined with Congress failing to show any initiative or commitment to enacting DOGE recommendations.

Then maybe the EV subsidies were salt in the wound.
