Seth Meyers on Elon Musk’s Trump-Epstein Allegation: ‘You Already Knew’
After Elon Musk made explosive allegations on X regarding President Trump’s involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking case, late-night hosts Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert have weighed in on the feud between the two powerful figures.
Musk’s feud with Trump began when he criticized the “Big Beautiful Bill” passed by the House of Representatives, which led to a series of insults exchanged between the two. The tension escalated when Musk took to X to claim that Trump’s name appears in the Epstein files, suggesting that this is the reason why the documents have not been made public.
Seth Meyers addressed the situation on his segment “A Closer Look,” pointing out the timing of Musk’s revelation. He noted that Musk seemed to have known about Trump’s alleged involvement in the Epstein case but only chose to reveal it during their feud. Meyers also criticized both Musk and Trump for their lack of genuine beliefs and their willingness to use each other for personal gain.
Stephen Colbert also chimed in on his “Late Show” monologue, sarcastically pointing out that Musk’s timing in revealing Trump’s alleged misconduct was suspect. He joked that Trump might need a bumper sticker for his Tesla that reads, “I bought this before Elon told everyone I was on Epstein’s plane.”
The late-night hosts’ commentary highlights the absurdity of the feud between Musk and Trump, showcasing the spectacle of two powerful individuals tearing each other down in the public eye. As the drama unfolds, it remains to be seen how the allegations made by Musk will impact the relationship between the two figures and what further revelations may come to light.
