The feud between U.S. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk has been making buzz on the internet. On Thursday, Elon Musk took to his social media platform X and made allegations that Epstein case files were never made public because they contain the name of Trump. Comedian and Air Force veteran Vincent Oshana has now reacted to Musk's comment.
In the recent episode of PBD Podcast, uploaded on June 6, host Patrick Bet-David asked for Vincent's reaction to Tesla CEO's comment on Trump. To this, Vincent said:
"If you're saying that Trump is on Epstein's list, you're basically indirectly saying that Donald Trump [POTUS] is a pedophile. If that's true in your mind and he's on that list and that's the only reason, then you knowingly, Elon, are hanging out with a pedophile... So, if that's the case, you're a complete hypocrite."
He continued:
"But at the end of the day, what does Elon know about the list? Who's seen that list? And again, I'm over that list cuz whoever's been looked at it, changed it—FBI, old FBI, new FBI—I don't give a damn about it. But I think this is extremely ugly and it's not going to stop right now."
What more did the panel discuss on Elon Musk's allegations about Trump's name in Epstein files?
During his conversation with Bet-David, Vincent said that he voted for Trump, not Elon Musk, and called Musk's comment disrespectful.
"Here's my thing. I voted for Donald Trump. I didn't vote for Elon Musk. Thank you for the help. But this is not only disrespectful... I get it with the money, but you know, when it comes to governing this country, that's who I voted for, and I can't give two sh*ts what Elon Musk feels," Vincent added.
Further in the conversation, the host asked the actor-comedian if he felt that there was credibility in Musk's tweet and asked if Musk was trying to get under Trump's skin. Vincent replied in the affirmative.
In this one hour and eleven minutes episode, PBD asked for Brandon Aceto's take on this. To this, Brandon said:
"I think that, um, there's truth behind, like, the Trump-Epstein connections, but not from the standpoint of him being on, like, the pedo list or anything like that."
He further said that Elon Musk might have intentions to put JD Vance as the U.S. President. He speculated that the incident felt like "a coup" with Elon being "friends with Peter Thiel" and that "they were trying to get JD Vance in."
As per BBC, Musk criticized the Trump administration's plans for a new spending bill and called it a "disgusting abomination" in a post on X on June 3. On Thursday, Trump said that Musk "is upset" because this bill would cut the subsidies for electric vehicles.
Later that day, Musk alleged that Trump's name is in the Epstein files. On June 6, in an interview with ABC News, Trump called Musk "the man who has lost his mind."
