Elon Musk Says Steve Bannon Is In The Epstein Files

Elon Musk has claimed former Trump adviser Steve Bannon is on the Epstein client list.

Musk made the claim in response to a post by former Trump adviser Roger Stone, which alleged that Steve Bannon coached Jeffrey Epstein for his 60 Minutes interview following his sex crime conviction.

Times Now News had more details to report on Musk’s post:

Elon Musk has escalated his feud with former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, claiming on X (formerly Twitter) that Bannon appears in the files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
“Steve Bannon is in the Epstein files,” Musk said in a post on X on Tuesday.

Musk’s post was in response to a resurfaced report, which stated that Bannon had met with Epstein multiple times, even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for sex crimes, and had filmed him for hours, reportedly for a documentary. “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?” one user posted, citing a Business Insider article. Musk replied, “Bannon is in the Epstein files.”

The clash between the two intensified after Bannon recently called for Musk’s deportation from the United States. In response, Musk accused Bannon of committing crimes and said he would “go back to prison for a long time.”

In another tweet on Tuesday, Musk questioned Trump directly, writing, “How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files?”

Musk had also accused President Donald Trump of ties to Epstein, but later took those comments back.

Here’s Bannon with Epstein:

In 2019, Steve Bannon taped more than 15 hours of interviews with Jeffrey Epstein.

In 2019, Steve Bannon taped more than 15 hours of interviews with Jeffrey Epstein.

Bannon was accused of giving Epstein media training for an upcoming 60 Minutes interview that never occurred. However, Bannon said he was not media-training the pedophile but instead making “a previously unannounced 8 to 10-hour documentary” about Epstein’s “perversions and depravity toward young women” and links to the “global establishment”.

It’s been five years and Bannon’s documentary on Epstein still hasn’t come out yet.

Why?

Am I the only one who didn’t know Steve Bannon was filming a documentary with Jeffrey Epstein right before he got arrested the second time? There is no way Bannon is sitting on 15 hours of never before released interviews of Jeffery Epstein. 2019 was the year Epstein was arrested… pic.twitter.com/PmjiTTMCwh

Here’s the article by Business Insider that Stone shared:

Before his 2019 death in jail, Jeffrey Epstein spent hours being interviewed on camera by Steve Bannon.
A clip published by the New York Post in 2021 shows Bannon verbally sparring with Epstein.

Epstein declared he was a “firm believer and supporter” of Time’s Up, the organization founded to fight sexual harassment.

“I made my living from old thinking,” Epstein said from his palatial Manhattan home. “But the future is for the way women think.”

Bannon pushed back.

“Is that kind of sop because of all the depravity you’ve done against young women?” he asked.

It was vintage Bannon. The right-wing operator threw a Molotov cocktail into the political left’s arena, hoping for chaos. And he promoted himself by lashing out at Epstein.

The clip supposedly promoted a documentary, “The Monsters: Epstein’s Life Among the Global Elite,” from Bannon’s production company Victory Films. Before Epstein went to jail on sex-trafficking charges in July 2019, Bannon spent months in the financier’s homes in Manhattan and Paris. He boasted that he shot 15 hours’ worth of video.

Three years later, no documentary has been released. And Bannon’s close relationship with Epstein has been curiously memory-holed.

Bannon grew closer to Epstein in the summer of 2018, advising him on how to handle his myriad legal and media investigations. They continued to spend time with each other through the following summer, when Epstein was arrested in Manhattan on sex-trafficking charges.

The footage remains under wraps.

It has not surfaced anywhere — not in the criminal trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of assisting Epstein’s sex trafficking, nor in numerous civil lawsuits from his victims.

Bannon has since responded to Elon’s claims:
