Tesla and X (formerly Twitter) CEO Elon Musk’s name has appeared in the recently declassified Jeffrey Epstein files related to the sex trafficking ring. These documents allegedly mention contact between Musk and Epstein. The new batch of documents has created a stir in US politics, but Musk has categorically denied the matter. According to a BBC report, documents submitted to the US House Oversight Committee mention a December 2014 meeting where Musk was invited to Epstein’s private island. The documents also include a handwritten note: “Is this still going to happen?”
Elon Musk responded to the entire issue on social media, writing, “This is a lie.” He did not comment further. Debate and reactions to the news are spreading rapidly on social media. Many users on Twitter (formerly Twitter) alleged that the media is repeatedly targeting Musk. Some said that the Democratic Party and its affiliated media groups consider Musk a threat because he exposes corruption and propagates false narratives.
Not only Elon Musk, but other big names are also involved in this international sex trafficking ring, including Trump supporter Peter Thiel, a famous Silicon Valley businessman and investor, co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, Steve Bannon, former White House Chief Strategist and head of Breitbart News. Experts believe that these files can open the door to new questions and criticism for big names in American politics and the tech industry.
