New Jeffrey Epstein Files Name Elon Musk and Prince Andrew: What the Documents Reveal
The controversy surrounding the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continues to widen following the release of a fresh batch of documents. These new Epstein files, produced by the Epstein Estate to the House Oversight Committee, contain mentions of numerous prominent individuals, including tech mogul Elon Musk and Britain’s Prince Andrew.
What Do the Newly Released Epstein Documents Suggest?
The latest release includes various records—such as daily schedules, flight logs, and financial ledgers—spanning nearly three decades. The mentions do not automatically imply wrongdoing, but rather suggest possible contact or scheduled interactions with Epstein, often occurring *after* his 2007 plea deal for soliciting a minor.
Elon Musk Mentioned in 2014 Island Itinerary
Perhaps one of the most unexpected names is that of Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and X (formerly Twitter). The documents contain a tentative itinerary from December 2014, noting a potential trip by Musk to Epstein’s infamous private island, Little St. James, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The entry reportedly includes a handwritten note: “Is this still happening?”
It remains unclear whether the trip actually took place. Musk has since publicly denied the claims, stating on his social media platform X, “This is false.” The mention is significant given Musk’s recent public commentary regarding the release of the files.
Prince Andrew and Financial Disclosures
Prince Andrew, whose ties to Epstein have been widely known and who previously settled a civil sexual abuse lawsuit, appears again in the latest files. The documents include a flight manifest from May 2000, listing the Duke of York as a passenger on Epstein’s private jet flying from New Jersey to Florida, alongside Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Additionally, financial disclosures reportedly show potential evidence of payments made by Epstein to masseuses on behalf of an individual identified only as “Andrew,” referencing services like “Massage, Exercise, Yoga.”
Broader Context: Other High-Profile Names
The release confirms that Epstein continued to maintain ties with high-profile individuals across the business and political spheres, even after becoming a registered sex offender. Other notable figures referenced in the schedules and logs include:
- Steve Bannon: Former White House strategist, noted for a scheduled breakfast in early 2019.
- Peter Thiel: Tech billionaire and co-founder of PayPal, mentioned for a scheduled lunch in 2017.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee stated that the documents highlight how Epstein was “friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world,” and that the ongoing review aims to bring justice to victims.
The Impact of the Latest Epstein File Releases
Each new batch of Epstein documents serves as a reminder of the broad and powerful network the financier cultivated. While being named in these files does not equate to criminal charges, the associations raise serious ethical and moral questions for those involved. As the investigation and release of records continue, the public and media will be closely watching for further revelations.
