"Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files," Musk wrote. "That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!"
Musk later deleted the post.
Other posts from Musk included a claim that Trump would not have won the election without his help while accusing Trump of "ingratitude." In another post, Musk suggested that Trump should be impeached and replaced by Vice President Vance.
Trump said last week he is not interested in talking to Musk, telling Fox News that "Elon's totally lost it."
The president also said while speaking with reporters in the Oval Office last week that he was "very disappointed" in Musk’s vocal criticisms of his spending bill. Trump claimed Musk knew what was in the bill and "had no problem" with it until electric vehicle incentives were cut, an assessment Musk slammed as "false."

"Governor Gavin Newscum and ‘Mayor’ Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they’ve done, and this now includes the ongoing L.A. riots. These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists," Trump said late Sunday in a post Musk shared.
Musk also reacted to a post by Vance, who shared a screenshot of a post from Trump about how his administration would address the demonstrations in Los Angeles.
"This moment calls for decisive leadership," Vance said along with the screenshot. "The president will not tolerate rioting and violence."
Musk responded to the post with a pair of American flag emojis.
