Elon Musk's daughter corroborates key detail revealed in Epstein files: 'What is my life?'
Vivian Wilson, the estranged daughter of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, released a statement Sunday to corroborate a key detail revealed over the weekend about her father’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, prompting supporters to urge her to “protect” herself.
The Justice Department released around 3.5 million Epstein files on Friday, and among them were email exchanges between Musk and Epstein that, in some cases, blew holes in his previous statements.
For instance, Musk had previously stated that Epstein had “tried repeatedly” to get him to visit his island – Little Saint James island in the U.S. Virgin Islands – but that he had “declined” all of the invitations.” An email exchange released on Friday, however, showed that Musk had “practically begged” for an invitation to the island.
On December 14, 2013, Musk notified Epstein in an email that he’d be “in the St Bart’s area over the holidays,” and asked if there was “a good time to visit,” referencing the Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy, which sits less than 140 miles away from Little Saint James island. Epstein responded the same day by informing Musk he would “send heli for you,” with “heli” shorthand for helicopter.
Wilson, writing on the social media platform Threads, corroborated her father’s location as being in Saint Barthélemy over the 2013 holiday, and blasted Musk for his attempts to frame his emails to Epstein as “out of context.”
“I'm just going to speak directly instead of being vague and cryptic. I can confirm we were in St Barth's at the time specified in the emails, and therefore I believe they are authentic,” Wilson wrote.
“This has basically already been confirmed through his attempts to paint them as out of context (denial is a river in Egypt). I knew nothing about the e-mails previously so I'm learning about everything at the same time as y'all. If there's any other information I learn that I can corroborate I will do so. Literally what the f--- is my life lol.”
Musk had also claimed in 2020 that Epstein had “never toured” a facility for SpaceX, which he also owns, another claim that was contradicted in an email exchange in which Epstein thanked Musk in 2013 “for the tour."
