Epstein Files: Musk Denies Ties as DOJ Releases 3 Million Pages
DOJ releases over 3 million Epstein files, naming Trump, Andrew, Musk and others; Musk denies any links as investigators press on.
The Justice Department released more than three million pages of Epstein-related files on Friday, expanding the sprawling case that has kept public attention for years. The new batch features references to a wide circle of famous names, including Britain's Prince Andrew, former US President Donald Trump, and technology figures like Elon Musk, as well as business executive Howard Lutnick. The documents appear to include emails and notes tied to Epstein’s network and alleged activities.
Officials highlight that the release includes thousands of mentions of Trump—over 1,000 in the collection—alongside an FBI summary that compiled tips from the public about Epstein and the former president. The White House has cautioned that the files may contain misinformation such as fake images or falsely submitted materials.
Elon Musk has publicly denied any ties to Epstein, saying he never visited Epstein’s island, attended his parties, or flew on his plane. Musk also called for complete disclosure and the prosecution of abusers, even if it means personal attacks.
Prince Andrew, already troubled by his association with Epstein, has had royal titles and lodging stripped in past fallout, and the newly released documents revive questions about his involvement.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the department has finished reviewing the new files, and that the White House had no direct oversight over the process. The documents are part of a broader expansion under scrutiny that invites ongoing reaction and discussion as investigators sift through millions of pages.
As the Epstein Files continue to unfold, observers say the disclosures test the balance between transparency and the risk of misinformation, and they keep the spotlight on a case that has touched politics, business, and pop culture.
