The records also show #Musk, the #billionaire Tesla founder, reached out to #Epstein on at least 2 occasions to plan visits to the Caribbean island where many of the allegations of #SexualAbuse occurred.
In a 2012 exchange, Epstein asked how many people Musk would like flown by helicopter to the island he owned.
“Probably just Talulah & me,” Musk responded, referencing his then-partner, actress Talulah Riley. “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?”
#Musk messaged #Epstein again ahead of a planned Caribbean trip in 2013. “Will be in the BVI/St Bart’s area over the holidays,” he wrote. “Is there a good time to visit?” Epstein extended an invite for after the New Year holiday.
…Musk has said he repeatedly rebuffed Epstein’s overtures.
“Epstein tried to get me to go to his island & I REFUSED,” he posted on X in 2025 when #House #Democrats released an Epstein calendar with an entry mentioning a potential Musk visit.
