Despite Musk’s claim that he refused to visit Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, and knew that Epstein was a “creep,” the documents contain multiple instances of Musk discussing such visits, coordinating times and dates and helicopter pickups.
Although some efforts reached advanced stages of planning, it was unclear if any visits happened.

The documents do not identify the women, state their ages or describe what occurred during the SpaceX visit itself.

Representatives for Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment. On X, Musk replied “wow” to a Daily Mail article referencing mentions of Bill Gates in the Epstein files. He has otherwise been silent about the documents.
Epstein’s interest in Musk’s ventures
Epstein appeared to have taken an interest in Musk’s businesses.
“he is very clever about many things that you have in the past shown interest in, when you are next on my coast let me know,” Epstein wrote.
Musk responded, “understood, how are you im in santa fe for august, come visit,” and later, “Not a week passes without a request from someone important in Israel (and other countries) wanting to bring Tesla there. What they don’t appreciate is that Tesla is production constrained, not demand constrained. When production has increased to the point of addressing the major markets, then we will start shipping to tiny markets.”
