Newly disclosed documents have unveiled a series of email communications between the world's wealthiest individual, Elon Musk, and the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The correspondence, released by the US Justice Department as part of a vast trove of over 3 million documents related to Epstein, reveals discussions about potential visits to Epstein's notorious private island in the Caribbean.
Email Exchanges Reveal Party Plans
The emails, dating from late 2012 and 2013, show Musk inquiring about suitable times to visit Epstein's island. In one particularly striking message sent on November 25, 2012, Musk directly asked Epstein, 'What day/night will be the wildest party on =our island?' The Tesla and SpaceX CEO added, 'Probably just Talulah and me,' referencing British actress Talulah Riley, who was his wife at the time.
Coordination of Caribbean Visits
This initial inquiry came in response to an email Epstein had sent Musk the previous day, asking 'how many people will you be for the heli to island?' The correspondence continued into the following year, with Musk emailing Epstein again in December 2013 to coordinate another potential trip.
In that message, Musk wrote, 'Will be in the BVI/St Bart’s area over the holidays. Is there a good time to visit?' Epstein responded by suggesting the beginning of the new year would be suitable, assuring Musk there was 'always space for you.'
Christmas Day Communication
The pair exchanged further emails on Christmas Day, with Epstein writing, 'the 2 or 3 would be perfect. I will come and get you.' Musk noted he would need to return to Los Angeles on January 2, 2013, but indicated he could potentially delay his departure, concluding with the question, 'When should we head to your island on the 2nd?'
Nature of the Relationship
The tone and content of these email exchanges suggest a friendly, familiar relationship between Musk and Epstein. While it remains unclear whether Musk ultimately visited Epstein on his island, the communications indicate detailed planning and coordination for such visits.
The documents were made public on Friday as part of the ongoing release of materials related to Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The revelations add to the complex web of associations between high-profile individuals and the disgraced financier.
This story continues to develop as more documents are reviewed and analysed by journalists and investigators worldwide.
