Elon Musk is a South African-born American businessman. Emails from 2012 to 2014 showed Epstein making repeated overtures to meet Musk, with the latter citing schedule conflicts and logistical complications; the communications did not reflect any actual in-person meetings between the two. One email exchange from mid-December 2013 to early 2014 showed Epstein and Musk coordinating a possible holiday visit to Epstein's compound in the U.S. Virgin Islands. In late 2012, Musk asked Epstein about attending "the wildest party" on his island and wrote in December that he wanted to "hit the party scene in St Barts or elsewhere and let loose"; when Epstein replied that "the ratio on my island might make Talulah uncomfortable", referring to Musk's then-wife Talulah Riley, Musk responded that "ratio is not a problem for Talulah". Musk also suggested in February 2013 that Epstein meet him at the SpaceX rocket factory near Long Beach, California. In another 2013 email exchange, Epstein congratulated Musk and later asked if he had tried the wakefulness medication Nuvigil. In an email to Tom Pritzker, Epstein described a dinner with Musk as "wild". Musk has publicly stated he "refused" all invitations to Epstein's island; in a 2019 comment to Vanity Fair, Musk said that he had once briefly visited Epstein's home but had declined repeated invitations to Epstein's island.
Emails from 2012-2014 between Epstein and Musk discuss potential holiday visits to the Caribbean, parties on Epstein's island, and coordination for possible trips, corroborating the Wikipedia entry. Musk publicly stated he declined repeated invitations to the island or Epstein's plane, though documents suggest some coordination for visits without independent verification of attendance.
