https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/30/elon-musk-epstein-files-island-visitsElon Musk had more extensive and more friendly communications with the financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein than previously publicly known, according to documents released on Friday by the Department of Justice. Emails in the files appear to show the two cordially messaging each other on two separate occasions to make plans for Musk to visit Epsteins island.
The documents include Musk and Epstein emailing in both 2012 and 2013 to determine when Musk should make the trip to Little St James. Neither exchanges appear to have resulted in Musk visiting the island, due to logistical issues.
Will be in the BVI/St Barts area over the holidays. Is there a good time to visit? Musk states on 13 December 2013.
any day 1st - 8th . play it by ear if you want. always space for you, Epstein replies.
Musk then sends several emails relaying his schedule, and the two settle on 2 January as a date for the visit. The email exchange ends with Epstein telling Musk that he would need to remain in New York and sending his regrets that they could not meet.
