"Since the release, Musk has been - what else? - posting through it, defending himself and his correspondence with Epstein on his social media platform, X. Musk said he had "very little correspondence" with Epstein and "declined repeated invitations" to go to Epstein's island, despite emails showing he had been in touch with Epstein in 2012 and 2013, at one point asking him, "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?""
"It's unclear if Musk ever made it to the island, and he hasn't been accused of any wrongdoing related to Epstein. But the revelations certainly fly in the face of Musk's past denials that he "REFUSED" invitations from the convicted sex offender, as does his bumbling efforts at damage control now that the truth has emerged. To be sure, Musk is that rare executive who seems financially immune from his many controversies."
The Department of Justice released documents from its Jeffrey Epstein case that include at least 1,500 hits mentioning Elon Musk. Emails show Musk corresponded with Epstein in 2012 and 2013, at one point asking, "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?" Epstein offered to send a helicopter to bring Musk to the island. Musk publicly said he had "very little correspondence" and "declined repeated invitations," while simultaneously posting defenses on X. The correspondence increases risk for Musk's plan to merge SpaceX with xAI and pursue a public offering, and complicates his reputation despite legal non-implication.
