JD Vance says it was a 'huge mistake' for Musk to go after Trump with Epstein accusation | 7 June 2025 | Vice President JD Vance told comedian and podcast host Theo Von on Saturday that Elon Musk made a "huge mistake" by accusing President Donald Trump of being implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein files. Vance warned that Trump and Musk being embroiled in a "blood feud" with one another will be bad for the country and will likely not end well for the Tesla CEO either. "I think it's a huge mistake for him to go after the president like that. And I think that if he and the president are in some blood feud -- most importantly -- it's going to be bad for the country, but I think it's going to be, I don't think it'll be good for Elon either," Vance argued. Musk referenced Jeffrey Epstein in relation to Trump on Thursday as part of a larger attack against the president and Republican leaders over their budget reconciliation bill. Vance told the comedian Trump "didn't do anything wrong with Jeffrey Epstein" and that his loyalties will always be with the president.
