Elon Musk Denies Epstein Ties as New Files Surface
New Epstein documents reveal emails with Elon Musk; Musk denies any links, visits, or flights and calls for full disclosure.
Elon Musk on Monday, February 2, 2026, denied any links to Jeffrey Epstein, saying he never attended Epstein’s parties, never flew on Epstein’s so-called “Lolita Express” plane, and never set foot on Epstein’s island or done anything wrong. In a post on X, Musk wrote that he anticipated being smeared but remained confident about his stance and his push for transparency.
The latest Epstein file dump includes a string of email exchanges between Epstein and Musk, including a November 2012 note asking, “how many people will you be for the heli to island,” though it isn’t clear whether any visit occurred. The newly released files also name other high-profile figures, including Donald Trump, Bill Gates, and Richard Branson, highlighting the broader debate over the government’s decision to publish the records.
Musk added that no one has fought harder for the full release of the Epstein files and for prosecutions of those who abused children, noting that legacy media and those who are actually guilty would admit nothing, deny everything, and make counter-accusations. He called for continued transparency, regardless of the personal cost.
Analysts say the disclosures intensify scrutiny of potential early ties between powerful figures and Epstein, underscoring the ongoing push for government transparency amid a heated public conversation about accountability.
