Elon Musk had emailed Jeffrey Epstein about visiting the island(Picture: Getty) Elon Musk asked to attend one of the ‘wildest parties’ on Epstein Island according to an email released by the Department of Justice. The Tesla boss, and former de facto head of the Department of Government Efficiency to Donald Trump, emailed the disgraced paedophile financier in 2012. This was just three years after Epstein was released from prison for soliciting prostitution from a minor. He wrote: ‘Probably just Talulah and me. What day/night will be the wildest party on =our [SIC] island?’ At the time of the emails, he was married to actress Talulah Riley. A year later in December 2013, he also asked Epstein: ‘Will be in the BVI/St Bart’s area over the holidays. Is there a good time to visit?’ Epstein replied: ‘Always space for you.’ Jeffrey Epstein’s former home on the island of Little St. James in the U.S. Virgin Islands (Picture: via ZUMA Press Wire/Shutterstock) But Epstein responded with a different date Musk originally suggested, and there is no indication Musk ever made the trip. Musk wrote, ‘probably the 1st [January 2014] then,’ to which Epstein replied: ‘The second or third would be perfect.’ Another email exchange shows Epstein arranging a visit to SpaceX to have lunch together. Musk said today he had been ‘well aware that some email correspondence with him could be misinterpreted and used by detractors to smear my name’. He added: ‘No one pushed harder than me to have the Epstein files released and I’m glad that has finally happened. ‘I had very little correspondence with Epstein and declined repeated invitations to go to his island or fly on his “Lolita Express”.’
