Donald Trump reacted angrily to Elon Musk's Epstein allegations during White House meeting

Senator Ted Cruz detailed a June 2025 White House meeting that escalated into a confrontation after President Donald Trump was presented with a social media post from Elon Musk. The meeting, which was originally intended to discuss school choice provisions, reportedly shifted in mood when an aide delivered a printout of a post from the Tesla and X founder.

In the now-deleted post, Musk accused Trump of being included in records related to Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting this was the reason the documents had not been released. Cruz described witnessing the president’s intense reaction to the accusation, noting that Trump’s “knuckles turn white” during the encounter. Natalie Harp was also noted for her involvement during the session as the atmosphere in the Oval Office changed following the delivery of the social media content.
