The war of words between Elon Musk and Steve Bannon doesn’t appear to be cooling down anytime soon.
Threats of jail time and deportation have been slung around social media as the two duke it out, following the billionaire’s falling out with President Donald Trump. However, Musk is coming in hot with yet another accusation, and this time, he’s using the controversial Epstein files.
It started with a post by Roger Stone, who posted a link to a Business Insider story that asked where the 15 hours of Jeffrey Epstein footage that Bannon had taken ended up.
Why would Bannon meet with Jeffrey Epstein both at his New York home and in Paris after Epstein was convicted on sex crimes in Florida? Why would he coach Epstein for his 60 minutes appearance? https://t.co/jhUUUYdk11

“Why would Bannon meet with Jeffrey Epstein both at his New York home and in Paris after Epstein was convicted on sex crimes in Florida? Why would he coach Epstein for his 60 minutes appearance?” Stone posted.
That’s when Musk chimed in:
Bannon is in the Epstein files

“Bannon is in the Epstein files,” he wrote simply.
As BizPac Review previously reported, Musk and Bannon have been going at it for a while now, specifically over the former’s suggestion that the United States needs a third political party. Bannon did not like this and took to the airwaves to suggest that Musk deserves to be deported for some crime. Musk pointed out that Bannon has already done time, and may do a lot more for a “lifetime of crime.”

X users reacted to Musk’s latest verbal volley:
If this was true why did they have to throw him in jail over contempt of congress?

If this is true that means you have seen the Epstein files.

Can you mention the rest? Apparently Bondi, Patel and Bongino are either compromised or threatened.
Someone needs to SPILL.

Elon’s been obsessing about the Epstein files which leads me to believe a lot more is about to come out. Otherwise, Elon wouldn’t lean so heavily into it during this high stakes political disagreement. Something big is up.
