Elon Musk has reportedly surfaced in recently disclosed Jeffrey Epstein files, potentially listed as a guest at the convicted sex offender’s private retreat, Little St James.
These documents, unveiled by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee in the US, consist of a daily agenda from December 6, 2014, with a notation stating: “Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec.6 (is this still happening?).” This entry was recorded six years post Epstein’s designation as a sex offender. The exposure coincides with increased scrutiny of Epstein’s associations, including the reappearance of the Duke of York in the same records.
The individuals mentioned were identified as acquaintances of Epstein, with no insinuation that they were cognizant of his transgressions or engaged in any illicit activities.
Prince Andrew is documented as a traveler on a private flight from Teterboro, New Jersey, to Palm Beach, Florida, on May 12, 2000. He is named in conjunction with Epstein, his then-partner and subsequently convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, and two anonymized individuals.
Although particulars of Andrew’s flight had been disclosed earlier during Maxwell’s trial – citing a witness, then 14, who recollected flying with the duke – Andrew continues to repudiate any misconduct.
Musk’s inclusion in the files comes after his public clash with Donald Trump in June, during which he demanded the US President’s impeachment while ridiculing his association with Epstein.
During that period, Musk asserted in a tweet that Trump is “in the Epstein files,” insinuating that this was the reason for withholding their public release. He posted: “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”
Although Musk subsequently deleted the tweet, the fallout led to a brief yet prominent discord between the tech magnate and the US President, with Trump accusing Musk of disseminating misinformation.
By September, the two publicly reconciled at a memorial service for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, notwithstanding the prior tension highlighted in the Epstein files.
Furthermore, the documents encompass a contentious email from Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, in which she expressed regret to Epstein for publicly disavowing him, addressing him as a “supreme friend.” This email, reportedly penned following Epstein’s threat of defamation action, resulted in the Duchess losing support from several charitable organizations she had backed.
Epstein himself was discovered deceased in his Manhattan penitentiary cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking accusations; his demise was classified as a suicide.
