"The Department of Justice has released what appears to be its last tranche of files related to convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. In all, the DOJ has released around 3.5 million pages in response to the Epstein Files Transparency Act of November 19, 2025. The files paint a portrait of Epstein's connections-including a number of familiar names in the Silicon Valley billionaire set."
"To be clear, a name appearing in the Epstein files does not mean that person has committed any kind of crime; a reference often means only that Epstein or an associate was talking about that person rather than directly to them, or shared a news article or press release with their name in it. Some material also appears to be unvetted tips that members of the public provided to investigators."
"Below are the names in tech that show up most frequently in the Epstein files, listed by the number of files in which their full names appear. This doesn't include every Big Tech name in release; former Microsoft executive Steven Sinofsky appears in 1,427 files, and appears to have turned to Epstein for negotiating advice on his way out the door. Other prominent executives are also named in the files, but with far less frequency and seemingly no direct contact with Epstein himself."
The Department of Justice released roughly 3.5 million pages under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, revealing extensive links between Jeffrey Epstein and figures in the technology sector. Many prominent tech names appear frequently in the files, including longstanding associations like Bill Gates and less-expected mentions such as Elon Musk. Appearances in the documents often reflect indirect references, shared news items, or unvetted public tips rather than direct communication or criminal implication. The records show how Epstein's network remained intertwined with the tech industry years after his 2008 guilty plea, and highlight recurring contacts and patterns of correspondence among executives and associates.
