Newly released documents from the U.S. Department of Justice show that Elon Musk — CEO of Tesla and SpaceX — exchanged emails with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that discussed plans to visit Epstein’s private Caribbean island, Little St. James. The disclosures come as part of a tranche of more than 3 million files made public under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, aimed at shedding light on Epstein’s connections with influential figures.
Email Exchanges Contradict Past Denials
According to the documents, email correspondence from 2012 and 2013 between Musk and Epstein included logistical planning about when Musk might visit the island in the British Virgin Islands, with references to holiday travel and helicopter pickups. In one 2012 exchange, Musk appeared to inquire about when “the wildest party” would be on the island.
Another set of emails from December 2013 shows Musk telling Epstein he would be in the Caribbean over the holidays and asking if it was a good time to visit, to which Epstein replied that he could arrange transportation. However, the documents indicate the trips did not actually take place due to scheduling issues.
Public Statements and Denials
Musk has previously claimed he declined invitations to visit Epstein’s island, noting in interviews and on social media that he only met Epstein once briefly in Manhattan and otherwise avoided him. The newly released emails appear to contradict those past statements, prompting questions about the nature and extent of their communications.
Despite the email exchanges, there is no evidence Musk ever visited the island, and no criminal charges against him related to Epstein’s crimes have been filed. Experts caution that being mentioned in the files is not proof of wrongdoing.
Context of the Epstein Files Release
The Department of Justice has released millions of pages of documents, including emails and images, under a new transparency law designed to provide more public insight into Epstein’s network of associates. The files have also revealed communications between Epstein and other prominent figures, but many details remain redacted to protect victims and ongoing legal considerations.

As more of the Epstein files continue to be analyzed and reported, news organizations and legal experts emphasize the importance of distinguishing between documented correspondence and proven conduct. Musk has not responded publicly to requests for comment on the newly surfaced emails.
