Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, is named in newly released Jeffrey Epstein files. The documents, unsealed by Democratic lawmakers on September 26, 2025, reveal a tentative trip to Epstein’s island in the US Virgin Islands, scheduled for December 6, 2014. A note beside Musk’s name reads, “Is this still happening?” It’s unclear if Musk attended. Musk denied the claims on X, posting, “This is false.”
The six-page document mentions Bill Gates for a breakfast on December 5, 2014, and Steve Bannon, a Trump ally, for a meeting on February 16, 2019. The files fuel ongoing speculation about Epstein’s connections to the elite.

Musk vs Trump Over Epstein Files
Musk has criticised President Donald Trump for not releasing the full Epstein files, despite Trump’s promises. In a series of X posts, Musk questioned the electronic records of Epstein’s plane passengers to the island. “Just release the files as promised,” he urged. This follows Musk’s resignation from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after a feud with Trump.

Musk briefly posted about Trump’s 2003 birthday note to Epstein, implying it explains the withholding. He later deleted it, admitting it “went too far.” The Trump administration denies a “client list,” calling conspiracy theories baseless.

The Epstein files, amid 65% of Americans believing in elite cover-ups (YouGov, 2024), reignite debates on power and accountability. Musk’s pressure on Trump highlights tensions, while his denial underscores the files’ impact on public figures.
