Elon Musk has carried out a mass purge of Trump administration allies from his social media, after weeks of mounting tensions over the Big Beautiful Bill bubbled over into a full-scale attack on the integrity of officials working on the Jeffrey Epstein case.

The world’s richest man has expressed fury over Attorney General Pam Bondi’s claims that a full and thorough investigation had not produced an Epstein ‘client list’ which she had previously said existed.

‘This is the final straw,’ Musk said, sharing a meme. 

One day later, he unfollowed Bondi on his X account. He then unfollowed Fox News, which had earlier platformed Bondi as she insisted she had thoroughly investigated the matter. Trump had vowed to uncover the true extent of the ‘cover up’ surrounding Epstein’s crime and his death.

Now, the FBI and Bondi insist he did in fact commit suicide, and that the purported client list they’d long discussed does not exist. Musk has also now purged his X account of other Trump allies, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, Congresswoman Nancy Mace, Energy Secretary Chris White, MAGA activist Scott Presler and the White House’s Rapid Response account. 

He railed against the Trump administration for not taking any action to arrest those related to Epstein’s child sex trafficking crimes, twice suggesting it was because they were looking to cover for people on the list.
