Elon Musk's own emails blow hole in his Epstein island denials
Elon Musk's explosive accusations that President Donald Trump was in the Jeffrey Epstein files just came back to bite him after the Justice Department dumped a trove of new emails that revealed the billionaire entrepreneur's own exuberance to visit the accused sex trafficker's notorious private island.
The DOJ's fresh batch of documents on Frida revealed Musk himself actively emailed Epstein and practically begged for an invitation to his infamous Caribbean island, emails reviewed by Futurism showed.
In December 2013, Musk wrote to Epstein, "Will be in the BVI/St Bart’s area over the holidays. “Is there a good time to visit?”
Epstein replied, "Anytime I will be there 28-7th."
“I will send heli for you,” he later added.
“Thanks,” Musk said.
The email exchanges took place after Epstein was first convicted of sex crimes against underage girls in 2008, the outlet noted. Musk previously claimed to Vanity Fair in 2019 that he visited Epstein’s Manhattan house once for half an hour.
“He tried repeatedly to get me to visit his island. I declined,” Musk insisted.
But the emails showed that wasn't the case.
In December 2012, he asked Epstein, "Do you have any parties planned? I’ve been working to the edge of sanity this year and so, once my kids head home after Christmas, I really want to hit the party scene in St Barts or elsewhere and let loose."
He added that “a peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I’m looking for.”
The documents include Epstein asking Musk if he'd be around to have dinner with Woody Allen, who has been accused of child sex abuse, with the Tesla CEO replying, "might be in town."
The documentation also shows calendar reminders for island visits, and even references to coordinating travel logistics. A Google Calendar alert titled "ELON MUSK TO ISLAND DEC. 6TH" appeared in Epstein's assistant's inbox in December 2014.
Musk didn’t reply to the outlet's request for comment.
