President Donald Trump and Elon Musk were left embarrassed after a massive banner labelling them “Epstein Files Leaders” was projected onto a building in Las Vegas. On the eve of the eagerly anticipated Super Bowl campaigners beamed a giant "Pedo Bowl" video in Sin City.
The footage shines a spotlight on high-profile figures named in the Epstein documents, including President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Howard Lutnick, Steve Bannon, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates. In the material, individuals named in the Epstein documents are presented in the stylized format of NFL player profiles, complete with mock statistics and a “leaderboard” ranking those most frequently cited in the files. According to the video Trump is referenced 5,300 times, compared with 1,465 mentions of Elon Musk, 2,592 of Bill Gates, 2,901 of Steve Bannon, and 1,210 of Bill Clinton.

The video appears to conclude by depicting several of those figures as NFL cheerleaders. Among them is musician Kid Rock, a vocal supporter of the MAGA movement, who is scheduled to headline an alternative Turning Point USA halftime show this weekend.
“This is what accountability looks like when institutions fail,” said analyst Brian Allen, who shared a clip of the projection on X.
Being named in the files does not indicate any wrongdoing, and Mr Trump has consistently denied any knowledge of Epstein's crimes.
The US president and the convicted sex offender were socially acquainted in the 1990s and early 2000s, moving within overlapping elite circles.
The pair appear to have fallen out at some point in the mid-noughties, before Epstein was jailed.

Trump told New York magazine in 2002 that Epstein was a “terrific guy” who enjoyed the company of women, “many of them on the younger side.”
The US justice department said: “Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election.
To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponised against President Trump already.”

Separately, Trump has reportedly been advised against attending Super Bowl LX, amid concerns from advisers that he could be met with hostile reactions from the crowd.
The US president is now expected to forgo the event at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, despite having become the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl just a year earlier, when he appeared in New Orleans.
