On December 25, 2012, responding to an island invitation, Musk wrote: \u201cDo you have any parties planned? I\u2019ve 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.\u201d He continued by explaining that while he appreciated Epstein\u2019s invitation, \u201ca peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I\u2019m looking for.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Epstein responded, saying that he understood and invited him to St Barts, because \u201cthe ratio on my island might make Talilah uncomfortable.\u201d Musk replied, \u201cratio is not a problem for Talulah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the correspondence between the two contain multiple instances in which Musk actively discussed visiting Epstein\u2019s private island and making plans to do so. On September 25, 2012, Epstein invited Musk, writing: \u201cIf you find some time, come visit me on my island in the caribean. bring your friend or friends. i will be there most of nov and dec.\u201d Musk replied affirmatively the same day: \u201cSounds good, will try to make it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the following weeks, the emails shifted from vague invitations to concrete planning. In October 2012, Musk told Epstein that he and his then-wife, Talulah Musk, would be in the Caribbean at the end of the year and assumed Epstein would be on his island. Epstein replied that Musk\u2019s assumption was correct and offered transportation, writing: \u201can easy but correct assumption\u2026 we will catch up either in ny, or i will send a heli to st bart for you, 45 minutes away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The exchanges then narrow down the timing. On November 2, 2012, Musk asked Epstein directly: \u201cWhat\u2019s a good time to come over between Dec 23 and 30?\u201d Epstein responded that it would be \u201cProbably after Xmas day. Any day, lets choose a sunny one,\u201d adding, \u201cGlad you are coming.\u201d Musk followed up by proposing firm dates: \u201cLet\u2019s aim for Dec 28, 29 or 30. Looking forward to it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The pattern continued the following year. In November 2013, Epstein again invited Musk to come to the Caribbean over Christmas. \u201cwill you come to caribean this xmas?\u201d Epstein asked, adding that \u201cwoody allen\u201d would be with him. Musk replied: \u201cYes.\u201d Epstein responded: \u201cgreat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In December 2013, the emails again became logistical. Musk told Epstein he would be in the British Virgin Islands and St. Barts over the holidays and asked when would be a good time to visit. Epstein replied that \u201cany day 1st \u2013 8th\u201d would work and added, \u201calways space for you.\u201d Musk followed up: \u201cWhen should we head to your island on the 2nd?\u201d Epstein replied that January 2 or 3 would be \u201cperfect\u201d and said he would \u201ccome and get you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A few days later, Epstein cancelled, citing work obligations. \u201cI was really looking forward to finally spending some time together with just fun as the agenda,\u201d he wrote to Musk.<\/p>\n<p>Internal scheduling documents further corroborate the planning. A calendar prepared by Epstein\u2019s assistant, Lesley Groff, for December 6, 2014, includes a reminder reading: \u201cElon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?).\u201d Separate logs from January 2013 also show Epstein informing an associate that he was \u201cmeeting elon musk for lunch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Epstein SpaceX visit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The documents also show Epstein visiting SpaceX in California in late February 2013. On February 22, 2013, Epstein\u2019s assistant, Lesley Groff, emailed Musk stating: \u201cI have now sent you a copy of all 3 girls passports (sorry [redacted] is upside down! But I figure you will print!). Jeffrey will have his ID with him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Two days later, on February 24, 2013, Epstein described the planned visit explicitly in an email sent to Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, writing: \u201cthe girls and i are going to see elon musk at space x tomorrow, are you around,\u201d while coordinating transportation and logistics in Southern California and noting elsewhere in the thread that he was already in Long Beach. The following day, February 25, Groff confirmed that the visit was planned in another email, writing that \u201cJeffrey Epstein and 3 of his assistants are in CA and going to visit SpaceX at 1:00 today, Monday Feb 25th.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Epstein, on February 26, 2013, emailed Musk thanking him for the tour. \u201cYou would have had fun at xmas.\u201d Musk replied and said \u201cI see,\u201d with a smiley face.<\/p>\n<p>The documents do not identify the women, state their ages or describe what occurred during the SpaceX visit itself. <\/p>\n<p>Separately, in September 2013, Epstein contacted Musk about potential plans surrounding the opening of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. \u201cAny plans for ny,\u201d Epstein wrote, adding that \u201cthe opening of the general assembly has many interesting people coming to the house.\u201d Musk responded several hours later, declining the invitation. \u201cI run and lead product design\/engineering for two complicated companies. Moreover, SpaceX is about to launch what is arguably the most advanced rocket in history. Flying to NY to see UN diplomats do nothing would be an unwise use of time,\u201d Musk wrote. Later the same day, Epstein replied with a comment joking about the social scene, writing: \u201cjust kidding, there is no one over 25 and all very cute.\u201d The email chain ends there, with no indication of further response or attendance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redacted woman wearing a Spacex shirt<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The document set also includes a photograph sent by Epstein on July 12, 2013, to another individual whose name is redacted. The image shows a woman seated outdoors on grass wearing a black T-shirt with the word \u201cSpaceX\u201d printed across the chest. Her face is obscured in the version produced. No accompanying text explains who the woman is, how she obtained the shirt, or where the photograph was taken.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives for Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment. On X, Musk replied \u201cwow\u201d to a <em>Daily Mail<\/em> article referencing mentions of Bill Gates in the Epstein files. He has otherwise been silent about the documents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Epstein\u2019s interest in Musk\u2019s ventures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Epstein appeared to have taken an interest in Musk\u2019s businesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs there any one at Solar City that my guys can talk to about electriying t=e [sic] caribbean island? or the new mexico ranch,\u201d Epstein wrote to Musk on Oct. 4, 2012. Musk forwarded the email to SolarCity co-founder and his first cousin Peter Rive, asking, \u201cAre we in New Mexico?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SolarCity was a solar energy services company of which Musk was the chairman and largest stakeholder. Tesla acquired the company for $2.6 billion in 2016, and it eventually became Tesla Energy.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, Epstein reached out to Musk about a potential expansion of Tesla to Israel, writing in an email that Ehud Barak, former Israeli prime minister and minister of defense, wanted to discuss\u00a0 with Musk taking Tesla to Israel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201che is very clever about many things that you have in the past shown interest in, when you are next on my coast let me know,\u201d Epstein wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Musk responded, \u201cunderstood, how are you im in santa fe for august, come visit,\u201d and later, \u201cNot a week passes without a request from someone important in Israel (and other countries) wanting to bring Tesla there. What they don\u2019t appreciate is that Tesla is production constrained, not demand constrained. When production has increased to the point of addressing the major markets, then we will start shipping to tiny markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another document in the files shows a proposed $2.6 million contract from ProSolar Systems for Little St. James Island. The contract included a proposal for the installation of 1,839 solar panels and Tesla powerpacks or inverters used to store and convert solar energy. The contract was not signed. It was also not dated, but contained a warranty for a Tesla powerpack system that would have been effective in September 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Musk was linked with the Epstein files back in September 2025, when the House Oversight Committee Democrats released a slew of records from Epstein\u2019s estate. Included in the more than 8,500 documents released at the time was evidence suggesting Musk was scheduled to visit Epstein\u2019s island on Dec. 6, 2014.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is false,\u201d Musk wrote on X about his name appearing in the documents. <\/p>\n<p>In June 2025, amidst a feud with President Donald Trump, Musk wrote on X, \u201cTime to drop the really big bomb. @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#Elon #Musk #Jeffrey #Epstein #emailed #years #meet #DOJ #records #show<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Justice Department\u2019s lates&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17418,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[5166,486,885,554,11212,3256,6173,3253,302,886,5970,1582,795,853,84],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17417"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17417"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17417\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/17418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
