Vice President JD Vance was caught off-guard during a podcast interview when host Theo Von read Elon Musk’s explosive tweet alleging Donald Trump appears in Jeffrey Epstein’s sealed files. “Ok, wow,” Vance reacted on *This Past Weekend*, dismissing the claim as “totally BS.” Musk’s since-deleted post—made days after leaving his Trump administration role—escalated their public feud, with Musk later boasting he secured Trump’s 2024 victory.
Vance defended both men, calling Musk “transformational” but urged reconciliation: “It’s a huge mistake for the world’s wealthiest man to be at war with the world’s most powerful.” Meanwhile, House Democrats demanded full Epstein file disclosure, citing Musk’s claims. The clash shows no signs of cooling, blending political drama with billionaire brinkmanship.
