On June 5, 2025, streamer Adin Ross publicly questioned Elon Musk's decision to keep working with former President Donald Trump. This was his reaction to Musk's claim that Trump's name was in the Jeffrey Epstein archives, which further led to the sealing of those documents.


Adin Ross blasts off at Elon Musk amid ongoing feud with Donald Trump: more details

On his live stream, Adin Ross responded to the feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump:

"So, this is my only response to this. Right? Elon, if you had a problem with Trump, and if you think he is in all these files, then why would you work so closely with somebody that's in these files, bro? The truth is going to come out as well. Yes. But Elon, you're not a saint yourself."

Elon Musk made a post on X on June 5, 2025:

“Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT! Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”

Elon Musk claimed that the seal on the files related to criminal investigations was not removed by saying that Trump's name is on them. These records provide lists of people who were close to Epstein.

The Trump team, on the other side, has always maintained that Trump is innocent and has said that he stopped talking to Epstein long before he was arrested and died in 2019.

During his livestream on June 5, Adin Ross pointed out that even if Musk claimed that Trump's name was in the Epstein files, he still had good working ties with him.

Ross also warned that their ongoing spat might have serious global effects if Musk and Trump couldn't work out their differences.

"Now let me explain what the f**k needs to happen - Elon and Trump needs to sit down off-camera and talk because this is not just going to f**k up what they got going on, it's going to f**k the world up, bro. If they both love America, if they sit down, no cameras on, no internet on, and fix this s**t."

He continued,

"Because I ain't going to lie, bro, this is only going to affect Americans. This s**t what's going on is only going to affect the market. It's only going to affect Americans, and that's the truth. It's not about who's right, it's not about who's wrong. Sit down in a private conversation, and f**king talk! Okay? It's genuinely that simple. It's that simple, bro! It's that simple. And this is the last thing I'm going to say on this - Donald Trump is a multi-billionaire, he's a businessman first."

Trump publicly dismissed Musk, saying that he had "lost his mind" and accused him of attempting to distract people from more important political issues. Musk, on the other hand, repeated his allegation regarding the Epstein files without giving any new evidence.
