Epstein Files Tie Musk, Thiel & Bannon to Disgraced Financier

In a bombshell development that has sent shockwaves through political and tech circles, newly released documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate have named high-profile figures including Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Steve Bannon.

The 8,544-page trove, spanning nearly three decades from 1990 to 2019, was handed over to congressional investigators by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, shedding light on the late sex trafficker's shadowy network of influential associates.

The files—comprising flight logs, schedules, cash ledgers, phone messages, and manifests—reveal tentative and confirmed meetings that occurred long after Epstein's controversial 2007 non-prosecution agreement, which allowed him to evade harsh penalties despite allegations of abusing underage girls.

This deal, critics argue, enabled Epstein to continue his predatory activities until his 2019 arrest and subsequent death in custody.

At the center of the uproar is Tesla CEO Elon Musk, whose name appears in a 2014 itinerary for a planned visit to Epstein's infamous private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands on December 6. A handwritten note in the documents queries, "Is this still happening?"—suggesting the trip was under consideration but its occurrence remains unclear. Musk, no stranger to controversy, has previously lambasted the Trump administration on social media for withholding Epstein files, tweeting, "How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files?" Neither Musk nor his representatives have commented on the latest disclosure.

Venture capitalist Peter Thiel, a key Republican donor and PayPal co-founder, is documented as having lunched with Epstein on November 27, 2017. The meeting underscores Thiel's occasional brushes with Epstein's orbit, though details of their discussion remain sparse in the records.

These revelations come amid intensified congressional scrutiny of Epstein's enablers, raising questions about accountability among the elite. As investigators pore over the files, survivors' advocates hail the step toward closure, but skeptics warn of selective outrage in a polarized Washington. The full implications for Musk, Thiel, Bannon, and others could ripple through boardrooms and ballot boxes alike.
