Elon Musk, Thiel, Bannon Linked to Epstein in New Documents

Newly disclosed documents from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein have revealed that several prominent figures, including Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Steve Bannon, were associated with the convicted sex offender in the years leading up to his death. The documents, handed over to congressional investigators, show that Musk had a tentative plan to visit Epstein's private island in December 2014, while Thiel and Bannon had scheduled meetings with Epstein in November 2017 and February 2019, respectively. These interactions occurred after Epstein had signed a controversial plea deal in 2007 and was required to register as a sex offender, raising questions about the nature of these relationships and the extent of Epstein's influence.

Musk, who had previously criticized the Trump administration for not releasing documents related to the Epstein case, has denied any involvement. In a post on the social media platform X, Musk stated that the allegations were false, although he did not provide further details. The disclosure of these documents has added complexity to Musk's previous statements, as he had accused the Trump administration of withholding information due to Epstein's connections to high-profile individuals, including Trump himself. Musk's name appearing in the documents has further complicated his stance on the matter, as he had previously suggested that the documents were being withheld to protect Trump.

The release of these documents has also highlighted the partisan divide in Congress, with Republicans accusing Democrats of politicizing the investigation by selectively releasing information. Democrats, on the other hand, have emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability in pursuing justice for Epstein's victims. The documents, which include phone messages, flight logs, and financial records, provide a detailed account of Epstein's activities and the individuals he interacted with. The ongoing release of these documents is expected to continue to shed light on Epstein's network and the potential implications for those associated with him.

In addition to Musk, Thiel, and Bannon, the documents also mention other high-profile figures who were previously known to have connections to Epstein. These include Bill Gates, who had a tentative breakfast meeting with Epstein in 2014, and Prince Andrew, who was listed in Epstein's records as having received massage services. The documents also include flight logs detailing Epstein's travels with his associate Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew. The release of these documents has renewed interest in the Epstein case and the extent of his influence, as well as the potential implications for those associated with him.
