A new twist has emerged in the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein saga involving U.S. President Donald Trump.
President Trump Denies Epstein Letter and Explodes on Social Media
On Thursday, a Wall Street Journal article reported that Trump once sent Epstein a letter for his 50th birthday in 2003. The letter was inscribed, “Happy Birthday—and may every day be another wonderful secret,” and purportedly featured a drawing of a nude woman.
President Trump reacted strongly on his platform, Truth Social. He called the letter “FAKE”, stating, “These are not my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don’t draw pictures.” He denied writing or drawing anything like that and expressed outrage over the report.
He also aimed his anger at Rupert Murdoch, the owner of the Wall Street Journal, threatening legal action. “I will sue his ass off,” Trump wrote. His Vice President JD Vance and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also spoke out in support, calling the report a “hoax.”
Despite the denial, the story quickly gained traction online—and one of the president’s former allies, Elon Musk, stepped into the spotlight.

Elon Musk Weighs In Using His AI and Sarcasm
Elon Musk, the billionaire and tech mogul behind companies like Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter), used his massive online following to raise questions about the Epstein letter story. Musk said, “Yeah, the letter sounds bogus,” in response to Megyn Kelly, who called the Wall Street Journal article “the dumbest attempted hit piece I’ve ever read.”
Later, he wrote, “It really doesn’t sound like something Trump would say tbh,” in response to passages from the purported letter.
Taking things further, Musk asked Grok—his artificial intelligence chatbot—if the letter was likely fake. He posted the question publicly and shared the AI’s detailed reply.

Grok responded: “Most likely fake. The mysterious, third-person script of the letter is not consistent with Trump’s recognized handwriting (he prefers Sharpie notes) or straightforward style. Allies affirm that it is not typical, and there is no photo to verify the signature. The timing of the WSJ’s DOJ review amid the Epstein file scandal raises questions. This is supported by Trump’s adamant denial and threat of legal action.
Musk gave the political drama a technological dimension by using AI to analyze the report.
Musk Trolls Trump Over Epstein with Memes and Deleted Posts
This is not the first time Elon Musk has stirred the pot on the Trump-Epstein connection. On June 5, Musk posted a now-deleted message on X: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” The post sparked backlash and added fuel to the public feud between the two.
The online jabs continued. On Thursday, Musk posted a meme of a stealth aircraft covered in papers with the caption: “Prototype of XF-907 ultra-stealth aircraft achieves complete invisibility via exterior coating consisting of the Epstein client list.” Musk joked: “How to make a totally invisible plane.”

Just 30 minutes before that, Musk wrote: “Wow I can’t believe Epstein killed himself before realizing it was all a hoax.” The comment added to the swirling conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s death in 2019.
Musk also defended the assertion that the Epstein allegation was a fabrication in a Fox News segment featuring President Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt. “Which part is the hoax? Reasonable question,” Musk posted.
Even the day before, Musk was questioning the White House’s narrative on the Epstein case. His posts—sarcastic, skeptical, and AI-supported—have pulled him directly into the center of a political firestorm once again.
