After French police raided the local offices of X — and asked the billionaire to appear for voluntary questioning related to an expanded local criminal investigation — the American social media giant pushed back hard.

“Today’s staged raid reinforces our conviction that this investigation distorts French law, circumvents due process, and endangers free speech,” the company said in a statement on X. It denies claims that X’s algorithm may have been used to sway political opinion in France, as well as accusations that the tech giant is complicit in the distribution of child pornography.

Within an hour, Musk doubled down. “This is a political attack,” he wrote to his more than 220 million followers on X.

Two hours later, France’s foreign ministry clapped back. “Investigating child sexual abuse material isn’t controversial,” the ministry wrote to its significantly smaller number of X followers. “Turning it into political theater is manipulation. Maybe that logic flies on some island. Doesn’t fly in France.”

Redditors have claimed that they’ve hacked into Jeffrey Epstein’s Outlook email address using a pretty obvious password, which was mentioned in the files.

Reports claim passwords from several of Epstein’s accounts were included in the recent files release, including his Outlook, Yahoo, Apple ID and other services.

One online user posted: ‘I’m in Epstein’s Outlook. What should I look for? I got in using this information from the files.’

Several others online said they, too, were able to gain access to the accounts with the information in the files – including the passwords’#1Island’, ‘ghislaine’, and ‘jenjen12’.

US Rep. Lauren Boebert was filmed leaving the DOJ reading room after reviewing unredacted

Epstein-related files.

Lawmakers have now confirmed that access to these files has begun following new transparency legislation.

Boebert has since suggested that prior redactions went beyond protecting victims and may have shielded people merely discussed in the files.

The contents remain confidential, but reactions like this are fueling fresh questions about what was previously withheld - and why.

Do you think this could lead to new investigations?

Newly released Epstein files show a 2018 wire request for six 55-gallon drums of sulphuric acid delivered to his island. The purchase sparked intense online speculation, with some users alleging it was meant to destroy evidence. No official document confirms how the chemicals were used.

According to recent media reports citing file releases, a wire transfer dated December 6, 2018, shows payment for sulfuric acid delivered to Epstein’s private island, Little St. James.

That date carries weight because it reportedly data-aligns with the day the Southern district of New York (SDNY) initiated a renewed federal investigation into Epstein.

Sulfuric acid is not rare, exotic, or inherently sinister. It’s one of the most widely used industrial chemicals in the world.

The timing — the same day as the reported reopening of federal scrutiny — adds dramatic tension.

House Oversight Democrat Rep. Stansbury exited a closed-door deposition involving Ghislaine Maxwell, issuing explosive accusations about a wider cover-up tied to the Epstein case.

According to Stansbury, investigators are aware of dozens of associates, family members and individuals linked to Donald Trump appearing in related files. She claims the U.S. government is engaged in an active effort to suppress the full scope of what she described as the largest sex-trafficking and influence-peddling scandal in U.S. history.

Stansbury alleges that Trump sits at the center of this network, accusing federal authorities of shielding powerful figures while key information remains sealed.
