The past week saw the release of numerous files tied to the late Epstein, unveiling emails, chats, and other content previously unseen by the public. Among the high-profile names mentioned are those of political figures and Elon Musk, one of the world’s richest individuals.
Despite Musk advocating for the public release of Epstein’s files, the association of his name doesn’t imply any wrongdoing on his part.
However, the Friday release from the Department of Justice hinted at a closer relationship between Musk and Epstein than previously acknowledged. Private emails revealed their acquaintance on a more personal level, with evidence of them making plans to meet multiple times.
Email exchanges suggest that Musk showed interest in seeing Epstein in the Caribbean. On December 13, 2013, Musk emailed Epstein stating, “My family will be in the BVI/St Barth’s area over the holidays. Is there a good time to visit?”
Epstein responded, “Any day [January] 1st-8th. Play it by ear if you want. Always space for you.” Musk replied, “probably the 1st then,” to which Epstein responded, “The 2 or 3 would be perfect. I will come and get you.” The arrangement was penciled in for January 2, 2014, but it didn’t materialize. Epstein’s assistant, Lesley Groff, reminded him of the arrangement in an email on New Year’s Eve, “Elon Musk was asking about coming to your island Jan. 2…”
Without confirmation of the visit, on January 1, Epstein reached out to Musk, “Sorry we didn’t connect, why don’t you consider clearing customs into the states in St. Thomas, come for lunch with the wife[?]” Musk responded, “Logistics won’t work this time around.”
In another email dated November 2012, Musk inquired about “the wildest party” on Epstein’s island.
Musk’s name also appears in a 2014 calendar entry from Epstein’s files, reading “Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?).”
A source close to Musk claimed to the New York Post, “Elon never went. I can tell you that 100%,” emphasizing a lack of social connection with Epstein.
Musk himself addressed the speculations triggered by these recent files. He stated, “No one pushed harder than me for the Epstein files’ release, and I’m pleased it happened.”
“I had limited correspondences with Epstein and turned down multiple invites to his island or travel on his ‘Lolita Express’. I knew some email exchanges might be misconstrued to discredit me,” Musk elaborated.
He emphasized his larger concern being the pursuit of justice for crimes committed alongside Epstein, notably those involving the exploitation of underage girls.
After the email release, Musk’s daughter, Vivian Wilson, expressed her perspective on Threads. Vivian, 21, and Musk share a complicated relationship post her transgender revelation in 2020.
Aligning with potential details from the files, Vivian stated: “I’ll communicate openly.
“We were indeed in St Barth’s during the time specified in the emails, confirming their authenticity.
“This is corroborated through his narrative of them being ‘out-of-context’. I was unaware of these emails before and am discovering them as you all are. Should I learn more that I can validate, I shall.”
She concluded with a light-hearted remark, “Literally what the f**k is my life lol.”
