A fresh release of Justice Department records has added new detail to the public record surrounding the network of people who maintained contact with Jeffrey Epstein in the years after his criminal conduct was widely known. The documents include email exchanges and calendar references that show Elon Musk sought to arrange a trip to Epstein’s private island, Little St. James, in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The material spans several messages and planning notes and places the focus on scheduling rather than casual social overlap. The records indicate that the discussions were not isolated or accidental but occurred more than once, involving Epstein’s staff and touching on specific dates and travel windows.
One of the central items in the release is a December 2013 email written by Epstein’s longtime assistant. The message states: “Just a reminder Elon Musk was asking about coming to your island on Jan. 2.” The wording reflects a follow-up rather than a first inquiry, suggesting that the topic had already been raised and was being tracked.
