Musk Denies Epstein Ties, Rejects 'Creepy Island' and Jet Claims

By Global Leaders Insights Team | Feb 02, 2026

Elon Musk has denied allegations linking him to financier Jeffrey Epstein, rejecting claims he visited Epstein’s island or flew on his jet, “Lolita Express.” Musk’s statement follows the release of over three million pages of documents tied to the Epstein case by the U.S. Department of Justice.

In a post on his platform X (formerly Twitter), Musk said he had “very little correspondence” with Epstein and never attended events, visited the island of Little Saint James, or flew on Epstein’s jet. The island is infamous for sexual abuse and trafficking.

The controversy stems from email exchanges between Elon Musk and Epstein in 2012 and 2013, part of the latest Epstein files. In those emails, Musk appeared to discuss possible visits to the island and parties, though no trip ever occurred. Musk’s camp claims he declined invitations.

  • Elon Musk denies any ties to Jeffrey Epstein amid document release
  • Musk rejects allegations of visiting Epstein's island and flying on his jet
  • Elon Musk responds to Epstein controversy, distancing himself from past communications

Musk reiterated he never boarded Epstein’s jet or socialized at his events. He framed the renewed attention as a distraction but supported the prosecution of Epstein’s accomplices.

The documents implicate several high-profile individuals in communication with Epstein and his associates, intensifying debates about accountability. Some recipients of the emails have faced scrutiny despite claiming limited or benign contact.
