Ex-UN delegate thrown in social media 'jail' for flagging Trump ally's Epstein ties: claim

Human rights diplomat Mohamad Safa, who’s currently working on an “upcoming human rights report” on the “Epstein files,” accused trillionaire and owner of the social media platform X Elon Musk Tuesday of “censoring” him on the platform and throwing him in “X jail.”Writing on X, Safa accused Musk, a fierce ally to President Donald Trump, of having “flagged” his account to reduce his posts’ engagement online. The alleged censorship began, he said, after Musk reposted one of Safa’s social media posts about files related to Jeffrey Epstein.“Elon joined my call for a global revolution over the Epstein files,” Safa wrote. “I responded to that with, ‘You’ll be included in my upcoming Human Rights report on Epstein files and complicity in Gaza genocide through Starlink and X.’ Elon flagged my account so that all my posts are sent directly to /dev/null.”Like a number of Trump allies, Musk was exposed in the millions of Epstein-related files first released by the Justice Department last year. In one email dated Nov. 25, 2012 – several years after Epstein had been convicted of soliciting sex from a minor – Musk asked the disgraced financier “what day/night will be the wildest party on your island?”In another email, Musk asked Epstein in 2013 on Christmas Day “when should we head to your island,” likely referencing Epstein’s private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands known as Little Saint James.“Not enough people are talking about the relationship between Elon Musk and Jeffrey Epstein!” Safa, a former permanent representative to the United Nations for a major human rights organization, wrote. “We do, but Elon is censoring this content and anyone who posts it. Can you please do whatever you want to let him see this tweet as I am in X jail. Or better yet, make this tweet one of the most liked tweets ever. Send him the message that he can't manipulate the public anymore.”Elon joined my call for a global revolution over the Epstein files.I responded to that with, “You’ll be included in my upcoming Human Rights report on Epstein files and complicity in Gaza genocide through Starlink and X.”Elon flagged my account so that all my posts are sent pic.twitter.com/dOvjtCd2yL— Mohamad Safa (@mhdksafa) June 23, 2026
