Musk deletes explosive posts about Trump and Epstein files

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
From bringing the heat to retreating on the beef.
Elon Musk appears to be backtracking on some of the wild accusations he made during his ugly spat with President Donald Trump earlier this week.
Musk sensationally posted on Thursday that the president’s name appears in unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files — and said that’s why the files haven’t been made public.
«@RealDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,» Musk wrote on X. «That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!»
Musk followed the post with another, saying, «Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.»

PRESIDENT TRUMP TEASES ‘LAST DAY, BUT NOT REALLY’ FOR ELON MUSK AT DOGE: OVAL OFFICE PRESSER SET FOR FRIDAY
But eagle-eyed online sleuths noticed that Musk had quietly deleted the posts.
The former «First Buddy» dropped the allegation in response to a back-and-forth series of social media messages between him and Trump. But as of today, the post has been removed from the Tesla CEO’s timeline.
The post wasn’t the only one he deleted: Musk also appears to have taken down a post endorsing a message that read, «Trump should be impeached» and that Vance «should replace him.»
Musk shared the post and wrote «yes,» but his comment is no longer visible.
The beef between Musk and Trump exploded onto the national scene this week with the SpaceX CEO publicly blasting Trump’s major legislation, the Big Beautiful bill, for increasing the deficit by around $2.5 trillion.
The feud came despite a months-long «bromance» between the pair, with Musk donating around $277 million to Trump’s campaign and enthusiastically supporting his return to office. Trump’s return to office also saw Musk oversee the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for months.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in the aftermath of Musk’s post that it was an «unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted.»

JEFFREY EPSTEIN LIST: AG PAM BONDI RELEASES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DOJ DOCUMENTS
The White House said a source familiar with the Epstein matter said it is widely known that Trump kicked Epstein out of his Palm Beach Golf Club.
The source also pointed out that the administration released the Epstein files, which included Trump’s name, and nothing was new about Musk’s revelation.
«If Elon truly thought the President was more deeply involved with Epstein, why did he hang out with him for 6 months and say he ‘loves him as much as a straight man can love a straight man?’» the source said.
Musk’s bombshell allegation against Trump comes months after a trove of files pertaining to the Epstein case were released.
In February, Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel explaining the delay in the release of documents and placing blame on an FBI field office in New York.
Bondi said she requested the full Epstein case file before Patel was confirmed as the head of the FBI and received about 200 pages — far fewer than the number of pages released last year in a civil lawsuit connected to Ghisalaine Maxwell, the trafficker’s former lover and convicted accomplice.
Although Bondi pushed for the release of the full dossier, which included records, documents, audio and video recordings, and materials related to Epstein and his clients, the request remains unfulfilled.
One of the key pieces that remains unreleased is a client list, though Bondi claimed in February it was on her desk to be reviewed.

The documents that have been released so far include flight logs, an evidence list, a contact book and a redacted «masseuse list» believed to refer to Epstein’s victims.
Many people named in the documents have never been accused of Epstein-related wrongdoing. However, some have, like Maxwell; Prince Andrew, who has denied allegations of wrongdoing; and Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent who, like Epstein, died in a jail awaiting trial.

Epstein, Maxwell and unnamed co-conspirators allegedly abused young women and underage girls between 1996 and his death in 2019, according to the lawsuit. Citing police documents, it alleges that Epstein recruited girls between 14 and 16 as well as students at Palm Beach Community College for «sex-tinged sessions.»
Maxwell is appealing her conviction while serving a sentence at a federal prison in Tallahassee. She is due for release in the summer of 2037.

Trump ally stands firm against ‘big, beautiful bill’ despite pressure: ‘It’ll completely backfire’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE — One of the leading opponents of President Donald Trump’s «big, beautiful bill» declared not even the commander in chief will be able to deter him from speaking out against what he sees as a bill that falls short of Republicans’ goal of cutting government waste.
«It’ll completely backfire on him,» Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told Fox News Digital of any attempts by Trump to sway him on the current legislation.
Johnson has become a prominent voice of opposition against the House GOP’s offering to the budget reconciliation process. Senate Republicans finally began the tedious process of parsing through the bill this week.

Lawmakers in the upper chamber, Johnson included, are determined to make changes to the bill, with most wanting to make reductions to Medicaid and food stamps more palatable. Trump has made it clear his bill must pass but has acknowledged the Senate will need to make a few changes.
Trump’s directive has been to deliver a bill that can survive the razor-thin majorities in both chambers.
Johnson, however, wants to see spending returned to pre-pandemic levels, cuts that are trillions of dollars deeper than what House Republicans could stomach. And he is ready to vote against the bill unless he sees the changes he wants.
And he believes that a pressure campaign from the president against him and other like-minded fiscal hawks will fail.
He said a better approach would be to work with lawmakers and fiscal hawks like him to gain a better understanding of the reality of the country’s fiscal situation, a reality that «is grim,» he said.
SEN. RON JOHNSON PROPOSES ‘LINE-BY-LINE’ CUTS TO PASS TRUMP’S ‘BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL’

Johnson has been up front about his disdain for the bill but has so far avoided public retribution from Trump. In fact, the two have spoken twice this week, once on Monday and later during a Senate Finance Committee meeting at the White House Tuesday.
The lawmaker has told Trump he’s in Trump’s corner and that he wants «to see you succeed,» but he has been steadfast in his position that the bill does not go far enough to tackle the national debt.
And the debt continues to climb, nearing $37 trillion and counting, according to Fox News’ National Debt Tracker.
The House’s offering set a goal of $1.5 trillion in spending cuts over the next decade, which lawmakers in the lower chamber have pitched as a positive step forward to righting the country’s fiscal ship, an offering Johnson panned as falling drastically short of the GOP’s promises to cut deep into government spending.
«What’s so disappointing about what happened in the House is it was all rhetoric. It’s all slogans,» Johnson said. «They picked a number. Literally, they picked a number out of the air.»
GOP SENATORS EXPRESS ‘CONCERNS,’ ‘SKEPTICISM’ OVER TRUMP’S SPENDING BILL AFTER MUSK RANT
Johnson views this attempt at the budget reconciliation process as a rare opportunity to «do the hard things» when it comes to spending cuts, but others in the GOP have been more hesitant to cut as deep.
Johnson said a main reason Republicans have so far fallen short of meeting the moment for the most part is that lawmakers don’t understand just how much the federal government shovels out the door year in and year out.
The lawmaker recalled a moment roughly three years ago during a debate over another year-end omnibus spending bill, when each of the dozen appropriations bills is crammed into one, bloated package that is universally reviled and almost always passes.
He asked his colleagues if they really knew just how much the government spends, and no one «volunteered to answer.»
«Nobody knew. I mean, think of that. The largest financier in the world. We’re supposedly, in theory, the 535 members of the board of directors, and nobody knew,» he said. «Why would they? We never talked about it.»

Johnson has been busy trying to better educate his colleagues, putting together his own charts and graphs that cut out the «noise,» like the latest nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office report that found the legislation would add $2.4 trillion to the national debt over a decade. The GOP has universally panned that projection.
«We can’t accept this as a new normal,» Johnson said. «We can’t accept — you can take pot shots of CBO, but you can’t deny that reality. [It] might be off a little bit, but that is the trajectory, and that’s undeniable.»

Donald Trump militariza Los Ángeles para aplacar las protestas contra las redadas masivas de migrantes

Tropas de la Guardia Nacional comenzaron a llegar a Los Ángeles este domingo por orden del presidente estadounidense Donald Trump para controlar las protestas contra las redadas de inmigrantes que mantienen en vilo a la ciudad.
Tras su despliegue, se enfrentaron con manifestantes latinos en el centro de la ciudad. Según la prensa local, arrojaron gases lacrimógenos a una creciente multitud reunida frente al Centro de Detención Metropolitano.
Minutos después se escucharon nuevos estallidos mientras algunos manifestantes coreaban “váyanse a casa” y “qué vergüenza”. Agentes uniformados derribaron a una persona, mientras que otra parecía estar sangrando de la cabeza.

Trump asumió el control federal de las fuerzas de seguridad del estado de California para desplegar soldados en la segunda ciudad más grande del país. Se trata de una medida nunca vista en las últimas décadas y considerada “deliberadamente provocadora” por el gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom.
La medida busca desplegar 2000 efectivos de la Guardia Nacional, una fuerza de reserva de las Fuerzas Armadas estadounidenses, después de protestas y enfrentamientos desatados a causa de una serie de redadas realizadas por las autoridades de inmigración, incluso en el Distrito de la Moda de Los Ángeles.
La situación escaló de tal manera que Tom Homan, el conocido como “zar de la frontera”, amenazó con arrestar a la alcaldesa de la ciudad, Karen Bass, y al gobernador Newsom, “si se exceden” en sus competencias.
“El gobernador de California y la alcaldesa de Los Ángeles podrían enfrentar arrestos si se exceden”, dijo Homan a la cadena NBC News. “Lo digo por cualquiera (…) Es un delito grave resguardar y ocultar a sabiendas a un inmigrante ilegal. Es un delito grave impedir que las fuerzas del orden hagan su trabajo”, advirtió.
Cómo es el despliegue de tropas en Los Ángeles
Unos 300 soldados fueron desplegados el domingo a lo largo y ancho de la ciudad, según el comando militar, mientras una “movilización masiva” de rechazo a las redadas contra inmigrantes fue convocada frente al Ayuntamiento.
En los dos últimos días agentes federales dispararon granadas aturdidoras y gases lacrimógenos contra una multitud movilizada en contra de las detenciones de decenas de migrantes en una ciudad con fuerte población latina.

Según el director adjunto de la policía federal (FBI), Dan Bongino, varias personas fueron detenidas en Los Angeles y también en Nueva York.
La alcaldesa de Los Angeles dijo a un canal local que durante la noche fueron cometidos “actos de vandalismo”, pero sostuvo que la situación “está bajo control”.

El presidente republicano de la Cámara de Representantes, Mike Johnson, respaldó la posibilidad de recurrir a los marines en servicio activo, además de a la Guardia Nacional, una eventualidad evocada el sábado por el secretario de Defensa, Pete Hegseth.
Las autoridades federales “quieren un espectáculo. No se lo den. Nunca usen la violencia. Hablen pacíficamente”, escribió Newsom en X el sábado por la noche. Además, calificó de “desquiciada” la amenaza de Hegseth.
Incendios y gases lacrimógenos
Las redadas del Servicio de Control de Inmigración y Aduanas (ICE) en otras ciudades estadounidenses desencadenaron protestas en los últimos meses, pero los disturbios de Los Ángeles son los más grandes y prolongados contra las políticas de la administración Trump hasta la fecha.
Según informes de agencias de noticias internacionales, hubo incendios y fuegos artificiales para iluminar las calles durante los enfrentamientos del viernes y el sábado, mientras un manifestante que sostenía una bandera mexicana estaba frente a un automóvil quemado pintado con un eslogan contra el ICE, encargado de las redadas.
“Depende de nosotros defender a nuestra gente”, dijo una residente de Los Ángeles cuyos padres son inmigrantes. “No importa que nos hieran o nos gaseen. (…) No nos pararán nunca. Todo lo que nos queda es nuestra voz”, añadió.

Imágenes de la cadena de televisión local KABC mostraban esta mañana a miembros de la Guardia Nacional desplegados cerca del Ayuntamiento de Los Ángeles antes de llegar a un edificio federal, mientras sacaban equipamiento de sus vehículos.
Además, también captó a tropas a lo largo de la calle Alameda, en el centro de Los Ángeles, y en la localidad de Paramount, de mayoría latina y donde hubo enfrentamientos más intensos.
La Guardia Nacional, una fuerza militar de reserva, es usada en situaciones de emergencia como desastres naturales y, ocasionalmente, en casos de disturbios civiles, pero casi siempre con el consentimiento de las autoridades locales. Es la primera vez desde 1965 que un presidente despliega ese cuerpo sin la solicitud de un gobernador, según publicó en X el exdirector de Human Rights Watch Kenneth Roth.
Donald Trump culpa a la “izquierda radical”
En tanto, Trump culpó este domingo a la “izquierda radical” de estar detrás de los disturbios en la ‘Ciudad de las Estrellas’.
“Estas protestas de la izquierda radical, por instigadores y a menudo alborotadores pagados, no serán toleradas. Además, a partir de ahora, no se permitirá el uso de máscaras en las protestas. ¿Qué tiene que ocultar esta gente y por qué? Una vez más, ¡gracias a la Guardia Nacional por el trabajo bien hecho!”, indicó el mandatario.
Durante la noche, el área metropolitana de Los Ángeles se mantuvo relativamente tranquila en comparación con las protestas que comenzaron el viernes después de que funcionarios federales realizaran redadas migratorias en el condado de Los Ángeles.

La madrugada del domingo, la Policía reportó que detuvo a varias personas tras declarar una reunión en el centro de Los Ángeles como asamblea ilegal. En Paramount, tres personas acusadas de agredir a agentes fueron arrestadas durante la noche.
El sábado se produjeron enfrentamientos cerca de un Home Depot en la propia Paramount, al sur de Los Ángeles, donde agentes federales se encontraban en una oficina cercana del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional.

Se registraron múltiples personas heridas entre los manifestantes golpeados por balas de goma y las granadas. Las autoridades utilizaron tácticas militares para dispersar a los manifestantes y poder sacar a los detenidos.
La tensión era alta después de una serie de redadas realizadas por las autoridades de inmigración el día anterior, incluso en el Distrito de la Moda de Los Ángeles. El recuento de arrestos de inmigrantes en una semana en la ciudad superaba los 100 detenidos.
