Elon Musk turned to Twitter on Saturday to ask if anyone was worried by the Justice Department's silence on the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases.
The Justice Department came under fire after being revealed that it had performed multiple leaks and borderline aggressive investigations on media and Donald Trump critics.
Elon Musk Says He Might Die in "Mysterious Circumstances"
Ghislaine Maxwell rejected a plea offered by the prosecution during her trial last year that would have reduced her sentence in exchange for people's identities in Epstein's sex trafficking network. Maxwell maintained her innocence throughout the trial but was found guilty in December. In May, an appeal against the conviction was denied.

Jeffry Epstein's 'black book,' initially released in 2015 by the now-defunct news site Gawker, includes the names of various rich and famous people, as well as a brief description of their association with the pedophile.
Musk previously made headlines when he said in an email to Tesla executives obtained by Reuters that he has an awful feeling about the economy. The statement headed freeze all recruiting globally was delivered on Thursday, two days after the billionaire encouraged employees to return to work or go, and it adds to a rising chorus of warnings from corporate executives about the perils of recession. Tesla shares plunged 9% on Friday to the Reuters article. The Nasdaq, which is dominated by technology, was down roughly 2%, Daily Mail reported.
On December 29, 2021, Maxwell, Epstein's former aide, and lover, was convicted of recruiting and grooming adolescent females to be sexually assaulted by Epstein. The sentencing hearing is set for June 28.
While Ghislaine Maxwell questioned the impartiality of a juror who neglected to reveal his sexual assault victimhood, a federal court dismissed her request for a retrial. Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting a federal sex trafficking prosecution following an apparent suicide in Manhattan, however, the official account is widely contested. Musk also drew a lot of interest on social media last month when he hinted that he might die under unexplained circumstances, as per Fox Business.
Jeffrey Epstein's Black Book List
Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, Trump's ex-wife and daughter Ivana and Ivanka, former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and John Kerry, and Hollywood filmmaker Woody Allen are among those in the address book. People mentioned in the book have not been charged or linked to the crimes committed by Epstein and Maxwell.
During her lengthy trial last year, Maxwell refused to divulge any of the customers she and her partner in crime Epstein dealt with. Leaking the identities might have resulted in a reduced term when she returns to court for sentencing later this month.
Elon Musk's post comes as Maxwell returns to court, where she is expected to receive a 55-year sentence after being convicted guilty of federal sex trafficking charges in December last year.
Despite his harsh statement, some astute followers turned the tables on Musk by tweeting a photo of him with Maxwell at a red carpet event. Along with the paparazzi photo, one Twitter user stated, "I found one." Musk responded to the tweet claiming he is a client on the elusive list, saying, "Ah yes, Maxwell photobombing me at a @VanityFair Oscars party - you should them why they invited her."
The tweets came after Maxwell was released from solitary confinement after two years, which her family condemned as abuse. Maxwell was reportedly placed in solitary confinement due to worries she might commit suicide like Epstein. In 2019, the convicted sex offender was discovered dead in his jail while awaiting sex trafficking charges, according to UNILAD.
