Elon Musk Asked About “Wildest Party” on Epstein Island in 2012 Emails

TLDR

• Newly released Epstein files show Elon Musk corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein between 2012 and 2013, discussing visits to Epstein’s island and SpaceX facilities.
• Emails indicate Musk asked Epstein about attending the “wildest party” on his island and coordinated potential helicopter transport for holiday visits.
• Musk has previously denied visiting Epstein’s island, stating in September that “Epstein tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED.”
• The files also show Epstein sought services from SolarCity, a solar company backed by Musk and later acquired by Tesla in 2016.
• The Justice Department released over three million pages of Epstein-related documents on Friday, including emails with other public figures like Bill Gates and Melania Trump.

The Department of Justice released over three million pages of Jeffrey Epstein files on Friday. The documents include email exchanges between Elon Musk and the convicted sex offender from 2012 to 2013.

The emails show Musk and Epstein discussing potential meetings at Epstein’s private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. They also mention possible visits to SpaceX facilities in Southern California.

In October 2012, Musk told Epstein he would be traveling to St. Barts with his partner at the time, actress Talulah Riley. He expressed interest in connecting at Epstein’s island.

A November 2013 email shows Epstein offering to send a private helicopter to transport Musk to the island. Epstein asked how many people would be traveling.

In December 2013, Musk wrote to Epstein about visiting over the Christmas and New Year holidays. He said he would be in the British Virgin Islands and St. Barts area.

Previous Denials and New Documents

He has never confirmed visiting the island. CNBC could not verify whether the visits discussed in the emails actually occurred.

In 2019, Musk told Vanity Fair he briefly visited Epstein’s home once but declined repeated island invitations. The new files show more extensive planning than previously known.

The U.S. Virgin Islands issued a subpoena to Musk in 2023. Authorities suspected Epstein may have tried to refer Musk as a client to JPMorgan Chase.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the release included more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. The release came after weeks of criticism about compliance with federal law.

SolarCity Connection

The emails also reveal Epstein’s interest in SolarCity, a solar installer backed by Musk. In October 2012, Musk forwarded questions from Epstein to his cousin Peter Rive, a SolarCity founder.

Musk had invested personally in SolarCity and served on its board. Tesla acquired the company in 2016 in a controversial deal.

The Justice Department said this would be the final release of Epstein-related files. Friday’s trove contained over 800,000 identifiable files, compared to fewer than 100,000 released in December.
