Elon Musk’s daughter says his Epstein emails authentic, confirms she was on St Barth’s

It’s safe to say Elon Musk didn’t have the greatest weekend. Musk has long played down any connection with Jeffrey Epstein while simultaneously heavily criticizing anyone else linked to him. All of which makes the latest batch of Epstein emails… let’s pull a quote from the man himself and go with “concerning”.

It’s an objective fact that the latest tranche of Epstein files indicates they were far closer than Musk has ever admitted. Notably, released files contain correspondence between Musk and Epstein in which Musk practically begs to visit Epstein’s island and experience “the wildest party”.

In another message sent on Dec. 25 2012, Musk emailed Epstein:

“Do you have any parties planned? I’ve been working to the edge of sanity this year and so, once my kids head home after Christmas, I really want to hit the party scene in St Barts or elsewhere and let loose. The invitation is much appreciated, but a peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I’m looking for.”

Musk is now in panic mode, saying that he’s suffering “the extreme pain of being accused of being the opposite of who I am“. Uh-huh. Sure, buddy. We can literally see you begging the modern era’s most notorious pedophile to attend a “wild party” on his private island! C’mon!

“A peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I’m looking for.”

Now, to underline that this are authentic correspondence, Musk’s estranged daughter Vivian has confirmed that – as far as she can tell – they match up with where she and her father were at the time:

“I’m just going to speak directly instead of being vague and cryptic. I can confirm we were in St. Barth’s at the time specified in the emails, and there I believe they are authentic.”

It should be underlined that there’s no evidence Musk actually visited Epstein’s island, but that’s certainly not because of any moral reservations Musk had. The emails paint him as needily demanding to figure out when would be best to attend and which nights would be wildest – and given everything we now know about the heinous stuff that went down there, it’s not hard to figure out what that means.
