Elon Musk expressed interest in visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island, newly released e-mails show.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has for years said that he didn’t know convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein very well. In 2019, shortly before Epstein died in a New York jail cell, Musk told Vanity Fair magazine that he considered Epstein a “creep” and said that Epstein “tried repeatedly to get me to visit his island” but that Musk had declined to do so.

Documents released Friday by the Justice Department provide another perspective on their acquaintanceship. The records include at least 16 emails between Musk and Epstein in 2012 and 2013, including multiple instances where Musk expressed interest in visiting Epstein’s Caribbean island, which has since become notorious as an alleged location for Epstein’s abuse of women and girls.

“What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” Musk wrote in an email to Epstein in November 2012, according to the newly released files.

Musk sought to visit the island at least twice, in late 2012 and again in late 2013, according to the emails, indicating that the interest in him visiting was not entirely one-sided.
