00:00Elon Musk is pushing back after newly released documents revealed email exchanges showing him
00:04attempting to socialize with Jeffrey Epstein, prompting the billionaire to dismiss the reports
00:09as fake news. Over the weekend, Musk responded on social media after documents surfaced that
00:14included emails and calendar invites between him and the late financier, Jeffrey Epstein.
00:20The records show Musk attempting to schedule meetings and seeking invitations to gatherings
00:23on Epstein's private island years after Epstein had pleaded guilty to sex crimes in 2008.
00:28Musk, who has repeatedly denied any involvement with Epstein's island, jet, or parties, claimed
00:34the emails were being taken out of context. In a series of posts, he said he declined invitations
00:39and argued that his messages could be misunderstood. He reposted a claim suggesting he did not have
00:44time to visit Epstein, adding that he worked most weekends. Calling the coverage relentless
00:48lies, Musk accused legacy media of spreading misinformation. He also shared posts portraying
00:54himself as supportive of Epstein's victims and called for prosecutions related to the crimes.
00:58Musk wrote that what matters most is not the release of selected Epstein documents,
01:02but arrests and prosecutions of those involved. He said without accountability,
01:06the disclosures amount to a distraction. In another exchange, Musk responded to a social
01:11media user who claimed he was the only high-profile figure calling for prosecutions among names
01:15mentioned in the files. Musk replied, because they are guilty, referring to several individuals who
01:22have publicly supported the release of all Epstein-related records. The documents include a 2012 email in which
01:27Epstein asked Musk about travel to the island and a response from Musk asking which date would be
01:32the wildest party. Additional emails from 2013 show attempts to coordinate a visit, which was later
01:39canceled due to Epstein's scheduling conflict. Meanwhile, Musk's daughter, Vivian Wilson, publicly
01:45reacted to the emails, stating she believes the correspondence is authentic. She said she was
01:50unaware of the exchanges and confirmed being in the location referenced in the emails at the time.
