Musk defended Trump

Elon Musk called a fake letter of congratulations, which, according to the Wall Street Journal, US President Donald Trump allegedly sent 20 years ago to financier Jeffrey Epstein, accused of sex trafficking.

So Musk responded to a comment on the social network X by American journalist Megyn Kelly, who attached another user's publication about a Wall Street Journal article about Trump's letter and called it "the worst attempt to make a custom article" that she had ever seen.

"Yes, the letter sounds like a fake," Musk wrote in response to Kelly on the social network X.

He also commented on the Wall Street Journal news about Trump's letter several times, calling the letter presented in the article "strange" and adding that Trump "would not say that."

The Wall Street Journal newspaper claims that Trump presented Epstein with an obscene congratulatory drawing for his 50th birthday. According to the newspaper, the alleged drawing of Trump is in an album that the financier's girlfriend Gilane Maxwell compiled for his 50th birthday. According to the documents and sources cited by the publication, the album contained poems, photographs and congratulations from businessmen, scientists, Epstein's ex-girlfriends and his childhood friends.

Trump, in turn, said that the management and owners of the Wall Street Journal newspaper had been warned about the prospects of a lawsuit for defamation even before the publication of the story about the congratulations allegedly sent to them on Epstein's birthday.
