Tech billionaire Elon Musk trolled President Trump early Monday with a post knocking the administration for making no arrests related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.<\/p>\n

Musk, Trump\u2019s former ally-turned-foe, posted an image to his social platform X<\/a> of \u201cThe Official Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter,\u201d set to “0000.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s the time? Oh look, it\u2019s no-one-has-been-arrested-o\u2019clock again \u2026,\u201d Musk captioned the photo.<\/p>\n

“This is the final straw,” Musk responded<\/a> to an earlier Monday post, which knocked the Trump administration for initially promising to release the “Epstein list” before reportedly saying, “There is no Epstein list.” <\/p>\n

The post came after Axios reported on a memo<\/a> Sunday evening revealing the Justice Department and FBI have concluded there is no evidence that Epstein, a convicted sex offender, blackmailed powerful figures or kept a \u201cclient list,\u201d as many conspiracy theories suggest.<\/p>\n

The memo, according to Axios, also says there\u2019s no evidence to suggest Epstein was murdered \u2014 supporting a medical examiner\u2019s report that he died by suicide in a Manhattan jail<\/a> in 2019.<\/p>\n

According to the news outlet, the two-page memo also suggests no one else involved in the Epstein case will be charged.<\/p>\n

The Hill has reached out to the Justice Department for comment. <\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s feud with Musk came to a head last month<\/a>, when the Tesla chief executive said it was time to drop “the really big bomb.”<\/p>\n

\u201c[Trump] is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public,\u201d Musk wrote on X<\/a> at the time. <\/p>\n

\u201cMark this post for the future. The truth will come out,\u201d he followed up<\/a> minutes later.<\/p>\n

Trump, before he was elected in November, said he would have<\/a> \u201cno problem\u201d releasing files related to Epstein, something some lawmakers and many on social media have called for after the financier\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

The president last year denied any connection to Epstein, writing on social media<\/a>, \u201cI was never on Epstein\u2019s Plane, or at his \u2018stupid\u2019 Island. Strong Laws ought to be developed against A.I. It will be a big and very dangerous problem in the future!\u201d<\/p>\n

Musk\u2019s allegation last month came just minutes after Trump threatened to cancel government contracts<\/a> with his 2024 campaign’s largest contributor’s companies.<\/p>\n

Earlier Sunday, Trump issued a lengthy post attacking Musk for calling for the creation of a third party, saying, \u201cI am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely \u2018off the rails,\u2019 essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States \u2013 The System seems not designed for them,\u201d he added. \u201cThe one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS, and we have enough of that with the Radical Left Democrats, who have lost their confidence and their minds!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hill has contacted the White House for comment on Musk\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n
