Epstein files and Epstein's Island have once again made headlines ever since Elon Musk made allegations on June 5 that these files have not been made public because they contain the name of Donald Trump. The files allegedly contain records of illegal activities that took place on convicted s*x offender Jeffrey's island.
According to CBS, Epstein's Island is referred to as Little St. James, which is part of the U.S. Virgin Islands and located 2 miles off the coast of St. Thomas. Jeffrey used the island as a base to carry out his illegal activities, which allegedly involved many prominent figures. Records related to these activities comprise the Epstein files, which have now become a topic of discussion following Musk's comment.

People are seeing Elon Musk's comment as a fight between Trump and the Tesla CEO. However, podcaster Thomas Ellsworth has a different take on this. In the June 6 episode of the PBD podcast, Ellsworth stated that Musk's comment was in response to the subsidy cut that Tesla is expected to suffer under the new bill. However, he also suspected that this may be beyond that:
"Are they trying to stage this? Is this an op? I'm just there. So there's so much to it that just seems so weird and out of the blue. So there's a little 5% of me that says, this is something crazy here that we're not seeing? But, um, nothing on Epstein. It is a world-class poke because everybody's waiting for those files," Ellsworth said.
What more did Thomas Ellsworth say about Elon Musk's comment connecting Trump to Epstein files?
In an episode that lasted more than an hour on the PBD podcast, host Patrick Bet-David discussed the Musk-Trump feud with a panel consisting of Vincent Oshana, Tom Ellsworth, Brandon Aceto, and Adam Sosnick.
When Bet-David asked entrepreneur Thomas Ellsworth, who is popularly known as The Biz Doc, to weigh in on the discussion, he said:
"Dems and other people in opposition would have used that long ago if there was a scintilla that they could grab on to. No, I think this is Elon has just picked one of the biggest, most carefully stated pokes you could use because everyone is waiting for the Epstein files."
Ellsworth further stated that this conflict stems from the $7500 subsidy loss that Tesla will incur due to the new spending bill enacted by Trump's administration. He said that Tesla needs this subsidy to run.
Ellsworth, who is himself a seasoned entrepreneur and business coach, said that it would "really piss" Musk off, as he had invested almost $250 million to help Trump get elected, and now Trump's administration is not "watching his back." He further added:
"And it's not a new... All you guys got to do is make it stay. It's not you, you don't have to give me[Musk] anything. Just leave it be because everybody gets it. But I [Musk] suffer more because I'm a higher, much higher market share here."
The other panel members also shared their views on the ongoing friction between the U.S. president and the SpaceX founder. Another member, Vincent Oshana, called Musk " a complete hypocrite" and said that he is indirectly calling Trump a p*dophile.
