Elon Musk, Epstein Emails, and the Internet Meltdown
The 2013 Email That Started It All
One of the most widely shared emails dates back to September 2013. In it, Jeffrey Epstein invited Elon Musk to his New York residence for what was described as the opening of the UN General Assembly. Epstein framed it as a gathering of “many interesting people.” Musk responded dismissively, saying that flying to New York to watch UN diplomats “do nothing” would be an unwise use of his time.
At first glance, Musk appeared to believe this was a generic diplomatic meet-up. Epstein’s follow-up shattered that illusion. He replied bluntly:
“Do you think I’m just kidding? There is no one over 25 and all very cute.”
This response made it abundantly clear that the invitation was not about geopolitics or policy discussions. Years later, Musk responded to a screenshot of this exchange on Twitter, claiming he was initially “dumb enough” to misunderstand the nature of the event, but that even after Epstein clarified, Musk chose to focus on “working on rockets and cars.”
The Problem With the Denial
That explanation might have held up—if not for the emails that followed.
Multiple emails from November and December 2013 show Musk discussing plans to fly to Epstein’s island. One message explicitly mentions spending Christmas there with Woody Allen. Others confirm trips planned shortly after New Year’s. Even more damaging, emails from as early as 2012 show Musk asking Epstein to invite him to the island for parties.
This context matters. Epstein had already been convicted of child prostitution in 2008. The idea that Musk was unaware of Epstein’s reputation strains credibility, erasing any plausible deniability.
Twitter, Glazing, and Peak Embarrassment
Despite the paper trail, Musk continued to push the narrative that he rejected Epstein’s invitations. One of the most infamous tweets came when Musk claimed that if he wanted to party with young women, it would be “trivial” for him to do so without Epstein’s help—and that he’d still have “99% of [his] mind” free for innovation.
The backlash was immediate.
Supporters rushed to defend him, including Ian Miles Chong, who tweeted that Musk has access to virtually every woman on the planet and wouldn’t need “some creepy weirdo who lives on an island.” Musk responded with a simple but devastating affirmation:
“Yep.”
The Takeaway
The emails paint a consistent picture: repeated interest, repeated planning, and repeated attempts to minimize or deny that interest after the fact. Whether or not Musk ever actually visited the island is almost secondary to the documented behavior itself.
In the end, the controversy isn’t just about Epstein—it’s about credibility. When private emails contradict public statements, the internet notices. And when denial meets receipts, the fallout is inevitable.
