Elon Musk’s brother has broken his silence after it was revealed that he is named in the Epstein files.
Kimbal Musk, who is the brother of the richest man in the world, has spoken out after it was brought to the public’s attention that he appears within files multiple times.
Taking to social media, the entrepreneur published a statement explaining why his name is mentioned so many times, writing on X, formerly Twitter: “This post is related to the Epstein Files and why my name is in them. In 2012 I started dating a woman who was 30 years old.
“I met her through a friend. Epstein did not introduce us. My only meeting with that demon was in his New York office during the day. I never met with him again and I never went to his island.

The reason he has so many emails from me is because he was subscribed to a newsletter I sent out to thousands of people every few weeks.
“My heart goes out to the many victims of Jeffrey Epstein, as it does for all who have suffered any kind of sexual abuse or harassment. Kimbal.”
As part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, the US House Oversight Committee questioned Ghislaine Maxwell, who is the convicted associate of sex offender Epstein.
In a clip of the deposition, Maxwell could be seen refusing to answer questions, with her lawyer stating that the convicted felon would answer the questions on one condition.
David Markus, said: “If this committee and the American public truly want to hear the unfiltered truth about what happened, there is a straightforward path.
“Ms Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President Trump.”
He continued: “Only she can provide a complete account and some might not like what they hear, but the truth matters.”
Markus went on to say that Trump and former president Bill Clinton are ‘innocent of any wrongdoing’ and that Maxwell is able to explain why.
“The public is entitled to hear that explanation,” he added in his message to the committee.
Following his remarks Maxwell proceeded to refuse to answer any questions in the less than 20 minute-long hearing.
Explaining why he advised his client to remain silent, Markus said: “On my advice, Ghislaine Maxwell will respectfully invoke her Fifth Amendment right to silence and decline to answer questions today even though she would very much like to answer your questions.
“She must remain silent because Ms Maxwell has a habeas petition currently pending that demonstrates that her conviction rests on a fundamentally unfair trial.”
