🔘Elon Musk says Trump is in the Epstein Files, wants to form his own party

The Explosive Escalation: Musk’s Epstein Files Bombshell

The once-unbreakable alliance between tech mogul Elon Musk and President Donald Trump has imploded in spectacular fashion, with Musk unleashing a jaw-dropping accusation: “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump
is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” The post, shared on Musk’s X platform on June 5, 2025, sent shockwaves across the internet, wiping $150 billion off Tesla’s market value and fueling a firestorm of speculation about Trump’s ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender.

This isn’t just a personal feud—it’s a political earthquake. Musk, who spent nearly $300 million backing Trump’s 2024 campaign, has now called for Trump’s impeachment and reposted a ’s demand for his resignation, suggesting Vice President J.D. Vance take over. Adding fuel to the fire, Musk’s X poll asking, “Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?” has garnered millions of responses, hinting at a bold new vision for America’s future.


The Epstein Files: What’s at Stake?

Musk’s claim that Trump’s name appears in the unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files—documents tied to the financier’s sex-trafficking investigation—has reignited demands for transparency. While Trump was photographed with Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in the 1990s and once called him a “terrific guy,” he has denied any deeper connection, stating in 2024, “I was never on Epstein’s plane, or at his ‘stupid’ island.” Yet Musk’s allegation, though unverified, has sparked a frenzy. He followed up with, “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out,” doubling down on his claim.

The Epstein files, partially released by Attorney General Pam Bondi in February 2025, remain heavily redacted, fueling conspiracy theories. Two House Democrats have since demanded Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel expedite the release of all files, citing Musk’s posts as evidence of potential suppression by Trump. On X, reactions range from shock to skepticism, with one noting, “If Trump was in there, the deep state would’ve blackmailed him not to run,” while another warned Musk of a “MASSIVE lawsuit.”

Trump Fires Back

Trump, speaking from the Oval Office alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, didn’t mince words. “I’m very disappointed in Elon,” he said, accusing Musk of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and claiming his opposition to the “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act” stemmed from its cuts to electric vehicle subsidies—a blow to Tesla. Trump even threatened to terminate federal contracts with Tesla and SpaceX, a move that could cost Musk billions. In a biting jab, Trump mocked Musk’s recent black eye, asking why he didn’t “cover it up.”

The bill, a sprawling package of tax cuts for the wealthy, increased spending on defense and immigration enforcement, and deficit-ballooning measures, has been Musk’s primary target. He called it a “disgusting abomination” and claimed it would add trillions to the national debt. This policy rift, combined with Musk’s Epstein accusation, has shattered their once-close partnership, with Trump lamenting, “I don’t know if we will have a great relationship anymore.”

Musk’s Centrist Dream

Amid this chaos, Musk’s call for a new political party representing the “80% in the middle” is gaining viral momentum. Posts on X show a groundswell of , with s declaring, “Musk’s party could be the reset America needs!” and “A centrist party? Count me in!” Others are skeptical, warning that Musk’s controversial stances—on immigration, free speech, and his own alleged Epstein ties—could doom the effort. What might this party look like?

Musk’s influence is undeniable. His $277 million in 2024 campaign contributions and X’s role in amplifying pro-Trump voices were pivotal to the election outcome. Now, his pivot to a centrist movement could draw young voters, tech enthusiasts, and moderates disillusioned with both parties. But the two-party system’s stranglehold, combined with Musk’s polarizing persona, poses steep challenges. X s note his past endorsements of far-right figures and a 2014 photo with Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell could undermine his credibility.

The MAGA Meltdown and Beyond

The feud has fractured the MAGA coalition. Some Republicans, like Sen. Pete Ricketts, defend Trump, noting he banned Epstein from his Palm Beach Golf Club. Others, wary of the bill’s fiscal impact, quietly align with Musk’s critique. House Speaker Mike Johnson is reportedly scrambling to mediate, saying he’s “trying to call Elon now.” Meanwhile, Trump’s silence on the Epstein claim—avoiding shouted reporter questions at a White House event—has only fueled speculation.

The market fallout is stark: Tesla shares plummeted 15% to $284.58, and Trump’s Media & Technology Group (DJT) dropped 8% to $20.21. Crypto Twitter lit up with memes, one joking, “Tesla shareholders watching Elon tweet today,” alongside a shocked reaction from analyst Benjamin Cowen.

What’s Next for Musk’s Revolution?

Musk’s Epstein allegation and party proposal have turned a policy dispute into a cultural flashpoint. If he pursues this new party, X will be its launchpad, leveraging Musk’s 210 million followers to build a movement. Success hinges on his ability to unite a fractured electorate while dodging legal and political pitfalls, including scrutiny over his own Epstein connections—he was subpoenaed in 2023 over suspected ties to Epstein’s financial dealings.

On X, the sentiment is electric: “Elon just declared war on Trump AND the two-party system,” one posted. Another quipped, “Musk’s party vs. MAGA vs. Dems? Grab the popcorn.” Whether this is a billionaire’s tantrum or the birth of a political revolution, one thing is certain: Musk’s “big bomb” has detonated, and the fallout could reshape America’s future.

Functionality.

Till today, the spark 30c sometimes starts operating itself, basically locking you out until you press the power button. Again, once the Spark 30c comes in with smoke, it starts malfunctioning.

Despite all the updates to fix the bug that Tecno has been releasing, the ish is still there. Shows up from time to time. If you can manage it (it's not that bad), then go for the Tecno. It has an additional 4 GIG RAM, making it a total of 12GIG RAM as opposed to 8GIG RAM for Redmi 4c.

AboveTheRim:
Hey guys!!

I have gotten recommendations from several phone enthusiasts here but I want more informed opinions. Which of these midrange devices should I go for on Saturday?

I. Redmi 14c 8gb/265rom
II. Tecno 30c 8gb/265rom
III. Infinix 50i 8gb/265rom

Please I want more informed opinions especially from those using them. I don't want to make a mistake. I have watched several of the comparisons on YouTube but I want personal opinions especially from the s.

Thank you. I'll be in the comments

I use both Redmi 14c 8gb/265rom and
Tecno 30c 8gb/265rom.

I will tell you to go for Redmi. However, the 5G service on the Tecno Spark 30c makes it the better option.

This war is not ending any time soon.

KillahPriest:
So ? What can you do about it asides rant online ?

You are not serious

Since you are elevating consciousness, if Islam and Christianity have their own section, justice and equity also demands that Traditional Religion section and Nonreligious section should be created too.

It's actually an insult to classify traditional religious and Nonreligious people as "etc..." under the Christianity section, as if they're the same.

Recent accusations from the U.S., led by AFRICOM Commander General Michael Langley, have sparked outrage, with many comparing the rhetoric to the prelude to Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi’s downfall. The claim? That Traoré is misusing Burkina Faso’s gold reserves to prop up his regime, a charge that’s ignited accusations of a U.S.-orchestrated smear campaign.

In April 2025, during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, General Langley, the first Black commander of AFRICOM, alleged that Traoré is diverting Burkina Faso’s mineral wealth to secure his junta rather than serve his people. The statement, echoed in posts across X, has been met with fury. One Nigerian wrote, “Langley’s being used to give Traoré the Gaddafi treatment. They smear, then they strike. Africa’s awake now.” Another from Ghana added, “The U.S. wants Traoré gone because he kicked out and rejected AFRICOM. Langley’s just their mouthpiece.” The sentiment is clear: many see Langley’s role as a betrayal, a Black general allegedly fronting a Western agenda to destabilize a leader who dares defy the old order.

In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing trade conflict between the world’s two largest economies, China announced today that it will impose a 125% tariff on all American imports, effective April 12, 2025. The move comes as a direct response to recent U.S. tariff hikes on Chinese goods, which have soared to 145% under the Trump istration’s aggressive trade policies. This tit-for-tat retaliation marks a new peak in tensions, threatening to disrupt global supply chains and deepen fears of economic fallout.

The announcement from Beijing’s Ministry of Finance was blunt, accusing the U.S. of “unilateral bullying” and violating international trade norms. “The U.S. imposition of abnormally high tariffs on China is a numbers game with no economic sense,” a ministry spokesperson stated, signaling that China may cap its tariff increases at this level, even if the U.S. pushes further. The statement suggested Beijing views the trade war as increasingly futile, with one official calling U.S. actions “a joke in the history of the world economy.”

China’s decision follows a series of rapid-fire tariff exchanges. Earlier this week, Beijing raised duties on U.S. goods to 84% after the White House implemented a 104% levy on Chinese imports. President Trump, citing China’s “lack of respect” and unfair trade practices, upped the ante to 125%, later clarified as 145% for most goods due to pre-existing levies tied to fentanyl concerns. China’s latest move matches the U.S. rate, targeting everything from American soybeans and fuels to electronics and pharmaceuticals.

The impact on global markets was immediate. European and Asian stock indexes dipped, with investors bracing for higher consumer prices and supply chain disruptions. In the U.S., analysts warn that American consumers will bear the brunt, as companies like Target and Best Buy have already signaled price hikes on goods ranging from avocados to smartphones. “These tariffs are effectively a tax on American households,” said Kathy Bostjancic, chief economist at Nationwide Mutual, estimating an additional $1,900 per household annually in costs.

China’s economy, already grappling with a property crisis and sluggish consumer demand, faces its own challenges. The tariff war could shave up to 2.5 percentage points off China’s GDP growth in 2025, according to Macquarie Group estimates. Yet Beijing appears resolute, bolstered by efforts to pivot toward other trade partners like Brazil and Australia, who stand to gain market share in sectors like agriculture. President Xi Jinping, in talks with Spain’s prime minister, called for global resistance to “bullying” trade practices, hinting at a broader diplomatic push to counter U.S. influence.

The U.S. response has been defiant. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissed China’s retaliation as a “loser” strategy, insisting that Trump’s policies prioritize “Main Street” over Wall Street. Trump himself expressed confidence in negotiations, claiming a personal rapport with Xi could lead to a deal. “I’m sure we’ll work out something good for both countries,” he said at a White House briefing. However, with no direct talks reported since his inauguration, prospects for de-escalation remain uncertain.

Beyond tariffs, China has tightened export controls on rare earths and restricted 18 U.S. companies from its market, moves that could ripple through tech and defense industries. Meanwhile, the U.S. has paused tariff hikes on other nations for 90 days, focusing its ire on China. This selective approach has raised concerns about a prolonged U.S.-China showdown, with Goldman Sachs pegging the recession risk at 45%.

Netflix Acquires Rights to Nigerian Sci-Fi Epic "Muur Chronicles" for Blockbuster movie!

In a groundbreaking move, Netflix has announced its acquisition of the highly anticipated Nigerian sci-fi novel Muur Chronicles for a multi-million-dollar film adaptation. The streaming giant reportedly beat out major Hollywood studios in a fierce bidding war, recognizing the novel’s unique blend of African mythology, futuristic technology, and high-octane espionage.

Sources close to the production reveal that pre-production is already underway, with filming set to take place in Abuja, Lagos, and select locations in outer space (yes, you read that right!). Director Ryan Coogler, known for Black Panther, is rumored to be in talks to helm the project, while Lupita Nyong’o and John Boyega are among the A-list stars eyed for key roles.

Netflix has also hinted at plans for a Muur Chronicles extended universe, potentially spanning multiple spin-off series and games. In response to the announcement, fans have flooded social media with excitement, with many already debating who should play Steve, the novel’s enigmatic protagonist.

More details to come…

Omo, that chokehold no be here o🤣

You are making decisions on behalf of a "Sovereign State" .. without their presence

So, what's Sovereignty

Ukraine should fight to death!!!

Rubbish. MTN will soon realise this is not how price increase is done. For instance, 50% increase of 2000 for 15gig is 3,000. The increase to 6000 is ridiculous and amounts to 400% increase.

Shey FCC says they're here to protect consumers. Oya na.



Time to port from MTN. Nonsense and ingredients.

Economic Maestro, Tinubu Puts Nigerian Economy on Dead Reckoning with N187 Trillion Debt

Once upon a time, in the bustling, ever-dramatic land of Nigeria, where reality often feels like a satirical novel gone rogue, there emerged an economic maestro—none other than T-pain a.k.a Tinubu. With the finesse of a magician pulling rabbits out of an empty hat, Tinubu has managed to achieve what many thought impossible: doubling Nigeria’s debt to a jaw-dropping N187 trillion in just over a year. No fuel subsidy, no magic oil price boom, just pure, undiluted economic wizardry.

Let’s take a stroll down debt lane, shall we?

In the beginning, there was Goodluck Jonathan, affectionately dubbed the “clueless” one. His crime? Leaving Nigeria with a modest debt of N12 trillion while generously sprinkling fuel subsidy like confetti at a wedding. He believed in keeping fuel prices bearable, even if it meant borrowing a little here, a little there. But of course, Nigerians wanted more. They craved vision, competence, and—most importantly—change. Enter Muhammadu Buhari, the man with the charisma of a concrete slab but the promises of a motivational speaker on steroids.

Buhari, hailed as the anti-corruption messiah, took Nigeria’s debt from N12 trillion to a cool N77 trillion in just eight years. That’s not incompetence, that’s talent. Under his watch, the economy danced to the rhythm of “borrow, spend, rinse, repeat.” But hey, give the man some credit (pun intended); he still paid fuel subsidies and maintained a reasonable fx rate.

But then came Tinubu, the world renowned grandmaster maestro. Forget “clueless” or “incompetent.” This was the era of strategy, brilliance, and, dare we say, economic artistry. In a masterstroke that would make even Houdini raise an eyebrow, Tinubu managed to double the national debt to N187 trillion—without the pesky burden of fuel subsidies. That’s right, no subsidies, no safety nets, just raw, unfiltered debt.

Now, some naysayers might ask, “Where did all the money go?” Silly question. It’s like asking where your mobile data disappears to—you used it, but can you really explain how? Nigeria’s debt has become the economic version of a bottomless pit: money goes in, echoes come out.

Tinubu’s approach to economic management can be best described as “dead reckoning.” For the uninitiated, that’s a nautical term where you navigate based on your last known position, without ing for external factors like currents or, in this case, common sense. It’s the financial equivalent of driving blindfolded because, technically, you know the road—until you don’t.

While previous leaders borrowed with at least a semblance of purpose—subsidies, infrastructure, fighting imaginary wars against poverty—Tinubu’s debt strategy is refreshingly avant-garde. It’s borrowing for the sake of borrowing, a performance art piece where the audience is left wondering if they missed the plot or if there was never one to begin with.

When Tinubu boldly declared, “subsidy is gone,” Nigerians thought they’d finally see economic relief. Fuel prices would stabilize, government coffers would swell, and maybe—just maybe—someone would fix that pothole on your street that’s old enough to vote. Instead, we got skyrocketing fuel prices, hyperinflation, and the kind of debt figures that make calculators begin to act funny.

But let’s be fair. Tinubu’s strategy is clearly working—for someone. Contracts are being signed, loans are being secured, and international lenders are probably popping champagne somewhere in Paris or Beijing. After all, Nigeria is that friend who keeps borrowing money with the confidence of someone who’ll never pay back, yet somehow still gets approved for more credit.

At this point, Nigeria’s debt isn’t just a financial figure—it’s a national identity. Forget the green-white-green flag; our true colors are black and red, inked boldly on loan agreements worldwide. We’ve borrowed from the IMF, the World Bank, China, and probably that guy down the street who “knows someone.”

But what’s truly impressive is how debt has evolved from being an economic concern to an art form. Tinubu has redefined fiscal responsibility. Why focus on balancing budgets when you can simply… not? Why worry about revenue when you can just borrow more? It’s revolutionary, really.

A debt so big, it’s practically a landmark. N187 trillion isn’t just a number—it’s a statement. It’s the economic equivalent of climbing Mount Everest and planting a flag that says, “We made it… to the top of the debt mountain.” Tinubu’s government isn’t just participating in the debt race; they’re setting new world records.

Think about it. In just over a year, we’ve managed to accumulate more debt than some countries have in their entire history. That’s not failure; that’s dedication. You don’t just stumble into N187 trillion of debt—you have to work for it.

The Future Looks… Expensive

So, what’s next for Nigeria’s economy? Well, if history is any guide, we’ll probably borrow more. Maybe we’ll hit N300 trillion by 2027. Why not? At this rate, the national budget will just be a list of people Nigeria owes money to.

Of course, there’s always the hope that someone, somewhere, will ask the hard questions. Like, “How do we pay this back?” But that’s a problem for another day—or another istration. After all, the beauty of democracy is that by the time the debt collectors come knocking, there’s a new guy in office to blame.

Final Notes from the Maestro’s Economic Master Strategy

Tinubu’s economic strategy is bold, audacious, and refreshingly indifferent to basic ing principles. While previous leaders flirted with debt, Tinubu took it out for dinner, proposed, and moved in together.

So, the next time you hear someone complain about the continuous rising cost of living, fuel prices, or why the government can’t seem to fix anything, just smile and say, “It’s all part of the maestro’s plan.” After all, you can’t spell “debt” without “B,” for Bola.
