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.
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.
