Elon Musk breaks silence after he's named in latest Epstein files release
Elon Musk breaks silence after he's named in latest Epstein files release.
In the latest series of the Jeffrey Epstein files drop, the tech mogul's name appeared in what's described as Epstein's alleged 'daily schedule' of visitors to his private Caribbean island, Little St James, in the US Virgin Islands.
The documents, released by Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on 26 September, suggest Musk was a potential visitor on 6 December 2014, six years after Epstein was listed as a registered sex offender.
Over the years, Epstein entertained A-list actors, royals and politicians, and was accused of cultivating an elite social circle that sexually abused many women and children. Due to the suspicious nature of Epstein's death, it's a popular conspiracy theory that he was silenced over the information he held on these big names.

The Trump administration has become embroiled after Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed she had the infamous 'black book sitting on her desk.' The President himself was pulled into things, although it's well-documented that Trump met with Epstein numerous times.
However, the world's richest man has now strongly denied the connection and slammed the news report.
"Shame on Sky News for this utterly misleading headline. Anyone pushing this false narrative deserves complete contempt," he wrote on X.
Musk then clarified that he never visited Epstein's island and shifted focus to Prince Andrew's alleged visits.
"Epstein tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED, yet they name me even before Prince Andrew, who did visit," he added.
Earlier this year, Musk also claimed that President Trump would appear in the files as a visitor. He suggested that the administration was allegedly covering up details about the POTUS' association with Epstein, but these posts were later deleted.
The documents show other high-profile individuals connected to Epstein.
Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, is listed as a passenger on Epstein’s private jet from Teterboro, New Jersey, to Palm Beach, Florida, on May 12, 2000. He appears alongside Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted in December 2021 for sex trafficking young girls to be abused by Epstein and is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.
Other notable entries include a breakfast meeting with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates on December 4, 2014, and a planned lunch with PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel on November 27, 2017.
“It should be clear to every American that Jeffrey Epstein was friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world,” said Oversight Democrats spokesperson Sara Guerrero. "Every new document produced provides new information as we work to bring justice for the survivors and victims.”
