Elon Musk claimed that his emails with dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein have been ‘misinterpreted’ as he insisted that he did not go to his island.
The world’s richest man said Saturday on X that he had declined, ‘repeated invitations’ from Epstein to visit him in the Caribbean or fly on his famed ‘Lolita Express’ private plane.
Musk added that he was, ‘well aware that some email correspondence with him could be misinterpreted and used by detractors to smear my name’.
‘I don’t care about that, but what I do care about is that we at least attempt to prosecute those who committed serious crimes with Epstein,’ Musk said.
In particular he called for those who committed, ‘heinous exploitation of underage girls’ to be brought to justice.
Government files appeared to show that the Tesla leader emailed Epstein about what day would be suitable to visit the financier’s island for a soiree.
‘What day/night will be the wildest party on =our (sic) island?’ Musk emailed Epstein on November 25, 2012, per Department of Justice documents released on Friday.
Musk also said the latest release of the Epstein files was ‘nothing but a distraction’.
The Tesla leader added that justice would only arrive when arrests are made in connection to the convicted sex offender’s crimes.
‘What matters is not release [sic] of some subset of the Epstein files, but rather the prosecution of those who committed heinous crimes with Epstein,’ Musk wrote on X.
Musk also called for Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s ‘clients’ to be detained.
‘Until we see at least one client arrest, this partial release of Epstein files means nothing,’ he said.
The date of Musk’s email came after Epstein had been convicted of sex crimes against minors in Florida.
Epstein pleaded guilty to procuring a child for prostitution in 2008.
