Ted Cruz says Trump erupted over Elon Musk’s Epstein claim

Senator Ted Cruz has stated that former President Donald Trump reacted with anger after Elon Musk alluded to Jeffrey Epstein's alleged involvement in the sex trafficking of underage girls during a private conversation. The interaction reportedly occurred at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.

The claim by Musk, if true, would add another layer to the complex relationship between the tech billionaire and the former president. Trump and Musk have had a public association, with Musk previously being an advisor to Trump's presidential campaigns. The mention of Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in jail, by Musk and Trump's alleged outrage highlight the sensitivity surrounding Epstein's activities and the individuals connected to him.
