Elon Musk publicly criticized U.S. authorities for failing to bring criminal cases against individuals who allegedly engaged Jeffrey Epstein’s services, writing on X that “not a single Epstein client has been prosecuted.” In follow-up comments, the Tesla and SpaceX chief executive said that charging even “a few of the very worst” would represent progress, but instead “zero” have faced prosecution. Musk also suggested that the absence of action against Epstein’s associates contributes to what he described as unusually intense backlash against former President Donald Trump. His remarks rekindled scrutiny of the government’s handling of the Epstein investigation and the broader question of accountability for prominent figures linked to the disgraced financier.
