Elon Musk has finally addressed reports that his name is included in a newly released batch of Epstein files.
Sharing a story from U.K. outlet Sky News, which ran with the simple headline “Elon Musk and Prince Andrew Named in the Latest Epstein Files Release,” the Tesla CEO fired off an enraged tweet.
“Shame on Sky News for this utterly misleading headline,” Musk wrote. “Anyone pushing this false narrative deserves complete contempt.”
“Epstein tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED,” Musk continued, “yet they name me even before Prince Andrew, who did visit.”
The “false narrative” in question is presumably Sky’s decision to float Musk’s name ahead of Andrew’s; the Daily Beast has reached out to Musk’s representatives for further clarification.
Musk’s name does indeed appear in the latest batch of documents released by Democrats on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
“Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?)” reads a note found in a 2014 diary of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The revelation comes from a fresh haul of previously unreleased material pertaining to the Epstein investigation, which has continued to dog the Trump administration.
Musk has previously said that he was invited to Epstein’s compound on Little St. James in the Virgin Islands several times, but claims he turned down the offers.
In a statement to Vanity Fair in 2019, just days after Epstein was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges, Musk confirmed that he had visited the disgraced financier’s Manhattan townhouse for about 30 minutes several years previously, but that “Epstein is obviously a creep.” He added, “He tried repeatedly to get me to visit his island. I declined.”
In an interview with the Department of Justice in August, British socialite and longtime Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking, said she first met Musk in 2010 or 2011, during a multi-day stay on a Caribbean island for Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s birthday.
She also said she later saw Musk at an Oscars event, seemingly referring to a Vanity Fair Oscars party on March 2, 2014, where she and Musk were photographed together. The aspiring trillionaire has previously explained that image by saying he did not know Maxwell and that she had “photobombed” him.
Maxwell did not have any knowledge of a deeper relationship between Epstein and Musk, but believed emails between the two men were uncovered during discovery.
In June, Musk, the former head of the Department of Government Efficiency, fell out with his buddy President Donald Trump in spectacular fashion. At the height of their spat, Musk wrote in a now-deleted tweet that Trump “is in the Epstein files.” He has since retracted the statement and apologized, saying that he “went too far.”
Others named in the latest round of Epstein file disclosures include Musk’s former colleague and right-wing billionaire, Peter Thiel, and Trump’s former chief strategist, Steve Bannon.
Further documents are expected to be released as Congress prepares to vote on a bipartisan bill that would require full disclosure in the Epstein case.
A single journalist with Balls just needs to ask Elon:
"WHY didn't you go to the island when asked?"
Because Elon is a moron, and there's not a single logical answer in existence that doesn't imply his guilt.
It's either: scheduling issue (Guilty)
OR what he's implying:
He didn't go because he knew what was happening there. (Which also means he's Guilty)
If Elon knew what was happening there and did nothing, he's not only just as guilty, but admitting to turning a blind eye to it.
I swear all the world's wealthiest individuals are complete idiots.
They are all idiots because they're just the worst kind of nepo babies.
I mean, it's not that hard. "I got weird vibes when I met him and wasn't interested in visiting his island". Distances oneself without admitting that you know any specifics about why he's creepy.
It's really not the slam dunk you're making it out to be.
Do you understand the concept on an INVITE? Musk was INVITED to pedo Island.
Invites are usually sent to people you KNOW. Who you WANT to attend what the invite is FOR.
Weddings come to mind as a great example. Wedding Invites are sent to those who will likely attend the wedding, and who know it's a wedding they are attending.
So what was Musks invite for exactly? Surfing?
Keep in mind, with the way invites work, it means that everyone else who recieved an invite, around the same time, all got one asking them to come do the same thing on that island. And it wasn't surfing.
But I guess there's a small chance that Musk is the only billionaire within his entire friend group who was invited to Epstein Island to fly helicopters and not fuck kids.
That invite was certainly not his first.
Unless you really believe he enjoyed the "kung-fu" lessons he took from Ghislain Maxwell, and the invite was for more of them while everyone else on the island was being a pedophile.
Look, I don't like defending Musk and I think he was involved with Epstein. You're just acting like there's some irrefutable proof here and there's nothing until more of the files are released.
You can also invite people to things if you sorta-kinda know them and want to get to know them more. When you're stupid-fucking-rich, inviting someone to your private island is less like "inviting them to a wedding" and more like "inviting them to a bbq".
I can pretty much guarantee that nobody received an invitation that said "come on down to Epstein island for some kiddie fucking" like you're implying. They were probably invited to a "party", and those in the know, knew what "party favors" they'd find there.
I thought I made it pretty clear that the invite would indeed be for something else. Something like meeting up with Gislain Maxwell for "Kungfu practice."
Which is literally what he did. Confirming he met her for said "practice" in an email to Epstein himself. In 2016. Years after he "knew" to avoid them.
Here's the email.
Elon lied about knowing her. Lied about having contact with Epstein. Lied about being invited to the island. Lied about meeting with Gislain for Kung Fu practice.
Do you honestly feel the benefit of the doubt is still reasonable to have here?
I do not think it's reasonable to believe Musk isnt lying about all this when he's been caught lying about all this.
The invite he recieved was more proof he was lying about his relationship with Epstein. Why lie about being invited to the island if you just declined the offer?
He's obviously moving the goal posts of his guilt, which very much indicates he is guilty.
By 2014 Epstein had been arrested so I knew what was going on there. Does that make me complicit in his crimes as well or does it mean I followed the news?
Depends on if you were invited to his island my dude. Were you?
Because that's the difference between you and Musk that very much indicates his guilt.
You think those invites go out to people who DON'T know what's happening on that island?
If so, why did Musk decline the offer? Unless, you know, he knew what was happening there, and what the invite was for.
Musk was INVITED to PEDO ISLAND. Full stop. That's a fact. His excuse is that he "declined" to go.
Which very much indicates he already knew what was happening there, at least ENOUGH TO RECIEVE AN INVITE that he has admitted to. His excuse further implies he knew more than that since he declined the invite. Why?
Literally, what is his excuse for the declined invite?
There is literally no single excuse that exists that doesnt indicate his guilt of at least knowing what was happening on that island and doing nothing about it.
Musk was invited 6 years after Epstein’s first arrest. Again Musk could have known simply because it was in the news.
Bannon, Windsor, and Thiel all went after the first trial.
Cool. Do you understand the concept of an INVITATION? He was still INVITED there. WHY? What was that invite FOR?
Fun in the sun?
Innocent people do not suddenly receive an Invite to pedo party island.
Epstein met with many wealthy people. He likely wanted dirt on Musk hence the invitation. Musk did not accept as this was several years after Epstein went to prison the first time. Musk could easily have known Epstein was a pedo as that wasn’t a secret.
None of this connects like you are suggesting it does.
Here's Musk in 2016 letting Epstein know he met with Ghislaine for "Kungfu" practice.
What I said connects better when you know what information is already out there. Seeing as this is Musk confirming to Epstein hemself that he met Ghislaine in 2016, it very much implies he didn't really feel he should be avoiding their company after he knew what they did. It instead very much implies the opposite. Confirming that he is willing to lie about knowing her, Epstein, and being invited to the island.
To be very clear: he's lied about knowing Epstein. Lied about knowing and meeting Ghislaine for something Epstein was concerned enough to follow up with an email on. And now lied about being invited to the island.
But sure, let's all believe he's only lying about that and nothing else.
Look, on general principle I agree with you, but Elon might've realized that Epstein is a Mossad asset. I'd be turning a blind eye too if it meant not being assassinated.
Or more likely, it was indeed a scheduling issue lol
Elon is not that smart of a man. At least not smart enough to avoid being invited to PEDO ISLAND by a Mossad agent.
Assuming even the best of Musk, turning a blind eye to that kind of atrocity is not a quality worth looking up to. Even to prevent your own death. It's cowardly. Period. Especially from someone with enough resources to stop it AND likely stay safe.
If I'm to be assassinated, it would be best to have that come as a result of freeing children trapped in an international pedo ring. Even more so if I have billions at my disposal to do so.
Musk, at best, by your own definition, is a giant pussy for not doing this.
Because he's likely going to be assassinated anyway. Likely from being stupidly tricked into fucking with American elections and databases for Trump instead of freeing children from Pedophiles.
Not a man worth respecting.
TL;DR Musk has a Tony Stark PFP and wants to be an Iron Man hero while using none of his wealth or resources to stop pedophiles because he's too scawed.
I have no doubt he’s a pussy. But who in their right mind WOULD knowingly open up about a Mossad pedo ring? You’d just die and they’d have another one running by next week, they have plenty of dirt on a lot of people to make it happen. No children actually get saved but your entire family will think you were a pedo, potentially ruining their lives too. Of course to cover tracks, any children on P island would likely be incinerated. Not that they were going to live long happy lives before.
Also this is 2014 Elon. Not nearly as smart as he wanted to seem, but he still preserved some instinct of self-preservation back then I believe. It was before he decided to publicly support fascists.
I’m just saying, if this thing goes as deep as it seems, the only real way to take it down is to destroy or restructure Israel altogether, not uncover one or two replaceable assets. The whole agency needs to go.
This is what anyone in this situation is going to tell themselves anyway. People don’t like dying.
Let me ask -
Who do YOU feel is supposed to open up about a pedo ring and Mossad? Who exactly is supposed to fix these things Musk and others always turn a blind eye to?
Because. FYI. Paying attention to these things is how they're stopped.
Not through the complacency you're advocating. And certainly not through the complacency of those who have the most power to stop it.
If Musk wanted to be the hero he thinks he is, he could have literally destabilized Israel with this information in 2014, using social media and an army of Lawyers to prove it. It worked on Harvey Weinstein in 2014. It could have worked here too.
Because 2014 wasn't nearly as astroturffed with false information as 2025.
Taking down Israel / Mossad / Pedos sure would have been nice to have happen before they started a genocide. But hindsight is 20/20, and I guess you feel it best that Musk turned a blind eye and never bothered to try fucking with Israel before it got this bad?
Who else do you give a pass to for turning a blind eye and never trying?
I don't understand how you think this is somehow a better look for Musk than him actually wanting to fuck kids. Knowing that was happening there and doing nothing is just as bad if not worse imo.
Because ignoring horrible crimes is how they get worse. That's why 2025 is so awful.
The thought that Musk knew what was happening there and chose to do nothing is certainly plausible, but that makes him even more of an immoral asshole imo.
You can’t stop it without destroying the government that’s doing it. The whole pedo thing has been proven to be irrelevant to the conservatives that support Israel anyway.
I never said this is a good look for Musk, I said people don’t like fucking dying and you can’t expect basically anyone to voluntarily have themselves murdered.
