Tech billionaire Elon Musk has been named in the highly controversial Jeffrey Epstein files, among other high-profile figures like Bill Gates and Trump ally Steve Bannon.
The new batch of a six-page document, released by Democratic lawmakers, shows an itinerary noting a tentative trip by the Tesla CEO on December 6, 2014, to Epstein’s island in the US Virgin Islands – where many women said Epstein abused them. A note on the schedule – next to Musk’s name – mentioned, “Is this still happening?” However, it was unclear from the documents whether Musk made the trip.
Musk, however, has denied the claims.
“This is false,” he wrote in a post on X.

The copies of Epstein’s calendar, released by the Democrats, also showed a breakfast planned with Steve Bannon, an influential Donald Trump ally, on February 16, 2019. A tentative breakfast with Bill Gates on December 5, 2014, was also mentioned in the documents.

The Democratic lawmakers also called on the US Justice Department to release all the Epstein files from its probe – which the US President Donald Trump administration has denied, saying there was no “client list” contradicting long-standing conspiracy theories that Epstein was blackmailing elite figures, including powerful Democrats. Musk has been criticising the Trump administration ever since a report alleged that Trump had written a birthday note to Epstein in 2003.
In a now-deleted post, he had claimed that Trump’s name appeared in the Epstein files, implying that it was the reason documents were still under wraps. The Tesla CEO later admitted the post “went too far”.
Weeks after stepping down as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) following a feud with Trump, Musk posted a series a scathing remarks against the Republican leader for not releasing the Epstein files. In a post on X, he asked, “Are there likely to be electronic records in any government or commercial computers recording who travelled on Epstein’s plane to the US Virgin Islands?”
In another post, Musk pressured the US President to release the case files related to the sex offender, as promised. “Seriously. He said ‘Epstein’ half a dozen times while telling everyone to stop talking about Epstein. Just release the files as promised,” he said.
