In an attempt to downplay Elon Musk’s claims about Donald Trump, Fox News’ Jesse Watters made a claim about his cohost Greg Gutfeld.

Fox News’ Jesse Watters made an unusual claim against fellow Fox News panelist Greg Gutfeld as he and other panelists for The Five discussed the ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
After stepping away from the administration, Musk has been critical of Trump’s “great Big Beautiful Bill,” leading to some spats between the two that turned personal Thursday, after Musk dropped a “big bomb” about the president being in the as-of-yet unreleased “Epstein files.”
This has led to a re-examination of Trump’s ties to the late financier, who died by suicide in a jail cell in 2019 while awaiting court on charges of running a pedophile enterprise.
Now, as conservatives try to scramble and control the damage from the situation, Watters, as well as other hosts from Fox News, has been making some strange comparisons as he tries to explain the situation to viewers.

In addition to confusing fans with a comment about things men fight over, he also seemed to downplay Musk’s accusations against Trump, by leveling similar ones in Gutfeld’s direction.
“Sometimes when you’re angry, you say things you don’t mean,” he said. “Greg mocked my hair last week, I said ‘He’s on the Epstein List!’”
“Yeah, you did,” Gutfeld confirmed.
“But I didn’t mean that,” Watters continued. “I made it up.”
The comment was followed by Watters dismissing Musk’s alleged knowledge of the “list” of alleged clients who used Epstein’s services, saying “no one” knew what the list was and who was on it.
The “list” and files have long been teased by Trump to be something his Department of Justice would release, and allegedly expose many high-profile clients.
Trump, former President Bill Clinton and Britain’s Prince Andrew have all long been among those with suspected ties to Epstein.
Though Trump has long denied any wrong-doing with Epstein, acknowledging a past acquaintanceship but claiming ties were severed years ago, Musk’s accusations come after continued allegations that Trump and Epstein had a closer relationship than Trump has claimed to.
Tapes from Journalist and author Michael Wolff previously saw Epstein speaking to him in 2017 and alleging that he was Trump’s “closest friend,” and even claimed the first time the President slept with his wife, Melania Trump, was “on his plane.”
Musk’s claims come as he and the President have been engaged in a war of words on their two social media platforms on Thursday, as they continued to battle over the spending bill, which Musk has blasted as virtually undoing most of the work he had done while heading DOGE.
Musk’s “big bomb” came after Trump threatened to cancel his government contracts in order to save money.
“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leace, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!) and he just went CRAZY!”
