What we know about science and tech figures named in the Epstein files
Newsy
Newly released government records are now giving a much clearer look at how science and tech figures like Elon Musk may have connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
We've known for years that Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with powerful people in tech and science, but newly released government records are now giving a much clearer look at how broad and how recent some of those connections were.
The latest document release includes millions of pages of emails, schedules and correspondence that reference major figures like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman.
The records suggest that Epstein wasn't just socially adjacent to Silicon Valley, but actively sought out influence in these tech circles. He was pursuing investments, introductions, as well as invitations well after his 2008 conviction for sex crimes.

For example, while Musk has said that he declined invitations to Epstein's private island repeatedly, emails in the files now show him asking at one point what night would be the "wildest party" there, and Reid Hoffman is also referenced in emails discussing visits and gifts sent both for the girls and for the island, though the context of some of those messages remain unclear.
