Elon Musk kicked off his Monday morning by reigniting his feud with the Trump administration.
This time, his focus is less on the spending bill that caused his initial rift with Trump and more on the FBI and the Department of Justice’s conclusion that there are no “Epstein files,” and the notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was not murdered.
The finding came as a surprise to many, as the Trump administration made a show of distributing classified Epstein documents to a group of far-right influencers back in February.
Now, Musk has added his voice to the chorus of those criticizing the FBI and the DOJ for their conclusions.
Elon Musk lashes out in response to FBI, DOJ memo
Musk began by tweeting a photo of what he called “The Official Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter,” which was, of course, set to “0000.”
“What’s the time? Oh look, it’s no-one-has-been-arrested-o’clock again …,” he captioned the image, according to The Hill.
“So … umm … then what is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for?” Musk later tweeted, referring to Epstein’s infamous associate.
“Stuff like this does not improve people’s faith in government,” he added.
“This is the final straw,” Musk later replied to one of his own tweets.
Musk continues to criticize Trump administration
Musk’s latest criticism comes just two days after he announced his intention to form a political party following weeks of dissatisfaction with the GOP.
As he often does, Musk conducted an informal poll and received the exact response that he was hoping for from his followers.
“By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!” Musk wrote in response, adding, “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”
“I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely ‘off the rails,’ essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks,” Trump responded in a post on his Truth Social platform, according to NBC News.
“The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of complete and total disruption and chaos.”
This, of course, is not the first time that Trump and Musk have locked horns. In fact, it’s not even the first time that they’ve clashed over Epstein.
Just last month, Musk tweeted that Trump’s name is “in the Epstein files,” thus further escalating tensions with his former ally.
It’s anyone’s guess as to where the conflict is headed from here — but something tells us that neither party is currently eager to bury the hatchet.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are making co-parenting a priority.
In the wake of the former couple’s recent split, some wondered what this will mean for their daughter.
4-year-old Daisy’s parents seem to be putting her first.
The exes reunited alongside their little girl over the weekend, meeting up on Jeff Bezos’ yacht.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom reunited (but are still broken up)
Page Six got a look at Katy Perry with Orlando Bloom and 4-year-old Daisy onboard Jeff Bezos’ $500 million yacht.
The trio gathered on Saturday, July 5. Perry wore a black bikini. Bloom wore black swim trunks.
Bezos’ yacht was off of the coast of Italy, apparently not too far from Sorrento.
During the get-together on the yacht, Bloom lifted Daisy into the air and gave her a kiss on her cute little cheek.
The family moments were not limited to the gauche yacht.
The former couple took their precious daughter for some ice cream on perhaps the most beautiful island on the planet — Capri.
Peaceful co-parenting or not, 2025 is NOT her year
Between not handling the Blue Origin backlash with grace and fumbling Bloom, Perry is clearly in her plastic bag era.
To be clear, the reports of the breakup came weeks ago.
It was only just ahead of the Independence Day holiday weekend that their reps confirmed the split.
As many are aware, holiday weekends are a popular time for celebrities to share unpleasant news.
One interesting detail about the split announcement was that their conscious uncoupling had been ongoing for “many months.”
So the breakup news that broke late this spring came months after the fact.
One has to wonder when Bloom and Perry might have shared their split if the news had not leaked.
Would they have attended the Bezos wedding together, just to keep things under wraps?
At least they’re putting Daisy first
This is a tough time, one must assume. Maybe for both of them. Especially for the singer.
Perry has been synonymous with desperation for years now, and losing Bloom is making her the butt of even more jokes than usual.
What matters most, however, is that they’re doing what they can to create stability for Daisy.
That doesn’t mean staying together in a loveless relationship. It does mean peaceful co-parenting for their daughter’s sake.

Clark Hunt, owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, is in mourning. His whole family is.
Over Independence Day weekend, news of the horrific Texas floods dominated the news cycle. With the National Weather Service hanging on by a thread, this deadly disaster struck without warning.
One of the 82 confirmed victims was 9-year-old Janie Hunt.
Like so many families, the Hunt family is in a state of mourning.
Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt and his family are grieving
9-year-old Janie Hunt — part of Clark Hunt’s family — was one of the campers at Camp Mystic.
The summer camp for Christian girls is located in Kerr County, Texas, about six miles south of Hunt.
Fox News identified Janie as one of the victims.
Her surviving loved ones confirmed the tragic news to People, adding: “We are devastated.”
Camp Mystic is a summer camp for girls from nondenominational Christian families.
The camp ground exists right on the confluence of the South Fork Guadalupe River and Cypress Creek.
The July 4 Central Texas Floods, borne of the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry, hit with very little warning.
Urgent pleas for residents to seek higher ground from floods might have come earlier if the National Weather Service were operating with its full resources.
Recent figures put the confirmed number of dead at 82, including numerous small children.
If you have ever lived through a major flood disaster, you know that these numbers will rise — and that some of the missing might never be accounted for.
Clark Hunt and his wife Tavia are grieving
Taking to her Instagram page, Tavia Hunt expressed her heartbreak.
“Our hearts are broken by the devastation from the floods in Wimberley and the tragic loss of so many lives,” she expressed.
“Including a precious little Hunt cousin, along with several friends’ little girls.”
There are multiple anecdotes about families of campers from Camp Mystic and Camp La Junta (a neighboring campground that thankfully avoided the death toll of Camp Mystic) who knew each other even before this tragedy. Now, many are mourning together.
“How do we trust a God who is supposed to be good, all knowing and all powerful, but who allows such terrible things to happen — even to children?” Tavia Hunt then asked. Her question was rhetorical.
She wrote: “Scripture is filled with the cries of those whose hearts have been shattered, who still wrestle to trust the same God they believe allowed the pain.”
Even for those who do not lose their loved ones at a religious camp, it is common (though not universal) to frame grief and mourning within a religious or spiritual framework.
Floods like this will only grow more frequent
Though there is hope that this tragedy will allow for some restoration of FEMA and of the National Weather Service, that will not prevent the floods themselves.
They will grow more frequent and worse, and may continue to happen in unexpected areas.
If you know someone who is living in a flood zone, offering help to them — or asking them how you can help — is one of the best ways to render assistance after a disaster.
This disaster has claimed dozens of lives and injured others.
People in flood zones may be without power, internet, running water, or transportation for days, weeks, or even longer. Every little bit of support can help.

As previously reported, Aaron Phypers filed divorce on July 7, ending his six-year marriage from actress Denise Richards.
The 52-year old listed the couple’s date of separation as July 4 and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the basis for their split.
This happens, of course. It’s fairly normal.
HOWEVER, Us Weekly has obtained the recently-filed divorce documents and they reveal some shocking information about Phypers and his finances.
In this filing, Phypers said he was self-employed at a wellness center from November 2018 to October 2024.
“I had to close down my business last year and have made [no] income since,” he told the court as part of the petition he filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
He admitted his average monthly income is zero…. and did not list any assets or property or money in the bank.
Here is the kinda, sorta, totally insane part, though:
Phypers approximates Richards earns over $250,000 a month in income from OnlyFans, her television shows, brand deals and appearances.
And that he, Aaron Phypers, spends $105,000 of this money on his own expenses.
Phypers said he lives with Richards and his 14-year-old stepdaughter, Eloise.
He said his average monthly expenses include $18,000 on rent, $5,000 on repairs, $7,000 on child care, $10,000 on groceries, $15,000 on eating out, $8,000 on utilities, $500 on his cell phone, $5,000 on laundry and another $20,000 on clothing.
That’s just… it’s incomprehensible.
In addition, Phypers said he spends $15,000 on entertainment and $1,500 on auto expenses. Yes, the total for his monthly bills comes to $105,000.
Per these same papers, Phypers requested spousal support from Richards and also asked to keep their assets and debts as separate property — including his power tools, motorcycle and sports car.
The actress began dating Phypers in June 2017 and the two got married in September 2018.
The latter does have a shoddy and questionable financial history, too:
Phypers is being sued for fraud by the widower of a woman named Elina Katsioula-Beall.
Based on reporting by In Touch Weekly, Katsioula-Beall’s husband alleged she was diagnosed with cancer in 2019 and that his wife met Phypers… who offered treatment to Katsioula-Beall.
This spouse said Phypers promised the treatment had a 98 percent success rate and offered to refund 50 percent of the $126,000 payment if it didn’t work.
It failed, the woman died in 2024 and Phypers has not yet responded to the lawsuit or legal request for the aforementioned 50 percent.

Denise Richards may soon be headed for divorce court.
TMZ is reporting that Denise’s husband, Aaron Phypers, has filed for divorce after six years of marriage.
Perhaps as a way of celebrating his own personal Independence Day, Phypers listed the couple’s date of separation as July 4.
Denise Richards’ husband cites ‘irreconcilable differences’
Little is known about Aaron’s reasons for filing.
In legal docs, his only listed complaint is that old celebrity standby, “irreconcilable differences.”
According to People magazine, Phypers is requesting spousal support from Richards.
He also asked to keep their assets and debts as separate property, noting that he hopes to retain full ownership of his power tools, motorcycle, and sports car.
The couple have no children together, but Denise previously stated that Aaron was in the process of adopting her daughter Eloise, 13. It’s unclear if the adoption was ever finalized.
The news comes as a shock to fans, as Aaron was a regular presence on Denise’s reality show, Denise Richards & Her Wild Things.
In an episode that aired in March, the couple explained why divorce would never be an option for them.
“It’s not easy being married to me,” Denise said, prompting Phypers to joke: “It is not, and she said it! But this is it. I’m done.”
“Yeah, I’m never getting divorced again. Even if we hate each other, I’m not gonna f–king get divorced,” Richards agreed.
Phypers joked that if he and Richards ever went their separate ways, “We’ll just have different homes or something. But we’re not gonna hate each other.”
In the same episode, Richards reflected on the horrors of high-profile breakups, recalling her divorce from Charlie Sheen.
“The judgment from other people and being made out to be this awful woman,” she said, before explaining:
“I’ll never get a divorce, even if we hate each other.”
The speed with which Denise and Aaron went from “happy couple” to “legally separated” has led some fans to conclude that there might have been some precipitating event.
But it’s important to bear in mind that there’s often a lag time of 10 months to a year between when reality shows film and when they air.
So it’s possible that this move has been a long time coming.
Whatever the case, it seems that Denise’s worst fears have come true, and she’s headed for yet another high-profile breakup.
