Tesla CEO cracked Epstein’s conspiracy against Trump at Maga’s base, and now the movement that once worshiped the U.S. president has begun to rebel.
Since Donald Trump first attacked the political stage in 2015, on June 5, Elon Musk did something no one had done: He destabilized the stability of Make America King again.
It started with the now-deleted bombshell post on X (formerly Twitter). “It’s time to put down the real bomb. Donald Trump is in the Epstein archives.” “This is the real reason they haven’t made public. Have a great day.”
The post spread before Musk quietly deleted it. But the damage has been caused. Trump faced his base for the first time, a serious uprising, with sparks coming from people outside of politics, and arguably stronger online: Musk.
Musk’s strike
The collapse of the Trump-Muske coalition began publicly on June 5, when the former president was irritated by Musk’s criticism, suggesting that the government might review the federal contracts awarded to Musk, especially the NASA deal with SpaceX. On the same day, Tesla’s stock fell, cutting its market value by $150 billion.
But what was hardly noticed at first was Musk’s decision to drag Trump into the darkest, most radioactive conspiracy theory in the Magma universe: Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump supporters have insisted for years that Epstein, a convicted sex offender, had links to the elites of politics, finance and royalty, were murdered to protect powerful Democrats. For those who believe that the system protects pedophiles and punishes truth lecturers, the so-called “Epstein Archives” has become a call for a rally.
Until Musk reignited the flames, interest in the document had disappeared. The release of the “Phase 1” document in early 2024 did not involve major Democratic figures, disappointing the Maga base. Musk then threw a grenade.
Feed the fire with grok
In a series of follow-up posts on July 17, Musk asked Grok that the chatbot was built into his X platform to generate a list of people visiting Epstein’s infamous private islands because, according to him, they “should investigate the rape of underage girls provided by their Epstein,” Musk wrote. ” “Thought to think and thoroughly study. Command by possible severity and frequency of crime. ”
Please make an exhaustive list of all those who deal with Epstein’s provided by people who may be investigated for minor girls.
Think hard and study thoroughly. Order by possible severity and frequency of crime.

This directly attracted Margo’s most emotional instinct: fear, anger and desire for retribution. But this time, Trump is no longer a crusader against the elite. He was hit as part of it.
Trump loses grip
Trump tried to dismiss the allegations, calling them “a stupid scam” and urged his followers to move on. But many of them refused. Matt Walsh, an influential conservative expert, seized the sentiment: “Trump was elected in 2016, partly because of “locking her.” Shouting us to stop talking about Epstein will only make us talk more about him.”
Trump was elected as the promise of “locking her” in 2016. Arrests and prosecutions of strong corrupt people have been central to Maga since Maga started. This is the purpose of the Epstein question. That’s why the base can’t and won’t throw it away. pic.twitter.com/B011AM7XAG

Online, bounce back and snowball. Users laugh at Trump’s distractions – policy announcements and trivial matters while demanding transparency. Tag #ReleAseTheepSteinFiles exploded again.
Anger has intensified after the Justice Department (DOJ) fired federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, who reportedly reopened parts of Epstein’s investigation. For many, this further proves that Trump is protecting someone or himself.
Perfect strike
Musk identified one thing that Trump’s base could not be ignored – epstein – and used it to shake their loyalty.
For a decade, Trump has fostered a movement based on conspiracy, suspicion and moral anger. Musk flipped the script. The effect is direct. Some people think that Tesla’s CEO and SpaceX’s founder are playing with fire. SpaceX relies heavily on federal contracts, and Trump made it clear that revenge was already on the table. But six weeks later, Musk reopened his business and Trump is still working to put out the fire.
Musk pierced Maga’s armor. By using the moral language of the movement to its founders. He created cracks in a base that Trump once could not penetrate. This is a strategic blow.
For the first time since 2016, Donald Trump has not set an agenda. His reaction to others. Elon Musk is the one holding the remote.
Musk 1. Trump 0.
