President Trump staying quiet? Now that’s unusual. Especially after Elon Musk just accused him of being “in the Epstein files.” But before anyone jumps to wild conclusions or fires off another #TrumpEpstein trend, let’s pump the brakes—and listen to someone who, surprisingly, made some sense this week: Chris Cuomo.
Yes, that Chris Cuomo. The same guy who used to carry water for CNN like it was his full-time job (well, it was). But even he had to admit that something big could be brewing here—and Trump’s silence might not be an admission of guilt, but the calm before a legal storm.
Let’s break it down: Elon Musk didn’t just fire off a few vague tweets. He went full scorched-earth. He accused President Trump of being listed in Epstein’s files, hinted that’s why the records haven’t been made public, and even posted old videos and magazine quotes from the ’90s. And he did it all with that smug little raised-eyebrow emoji, like he just solved the mystery of the pyramids.
But here’s the thing: there is no evidence Trump did anything illegal with Epstein. None. Zero. Zip. Nada. The same recycled party footage from Mar-a-Lago keeps popping up—like we’re supposed to believe mingling at a party in 1992 means criminal conspiracy. Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. Bill Clinton, on the other hand? Dozens of flights on the Lolita Express and still crickets from the media.
Now, Chris Cuomo is no MAGA loyalist, but even he said the silence from Trump might mean something bigger: a massive defamation lawsuit. Cuomo laid it out clearly—if Musk has no hard evidence and is just throwing out accusations like it’s a Reddit thread, Trump could sue, and he could win big.

Let’s not forget, Trump’s legal team isn’t exactly shy. He just slapped CBS with a $20 billion lawsuit over a deceptively edited video. And in this case, he wouldn’t just be going after some liberal news anchor—he’d be aiming at the richest man in the world who decided to pick a fight on social media with zero proof.
To win, Trump would have to prove “actual malice”—that Musk either knew what he was saying was false or showed reckless disregard for the truth. Given Musk’s access to information and influence, that’s not a high bar to clear. As Cuomo said, “If Trump sues, I THINK HE WINS.”
So don’t confuse silence with guilt. Trump’s not hiding. He’s likely loading the legal cannon—and if he fires, Elon might find out the hard way that trolling the former president comes with a serious price tag.
Hes NOT on the list then right & he tossed Epstien from Mara Lago then before being President
You can take the boy out of CNN but you can’t take the CNN out of the boy. I do occasionally watch NewsNation but they have a lot of “cringy” “leftard” moments.
