US EditionElon Musk Says His Emails With Jeffrey Epstein Are ‘Misinterpreted’—Calls Release Of Files ‘A Distraction’
Musk denies attending Epstein parties despite emails asking about events on Epstein’s island and says file release aims to smear him amid his work on Tesla and SpaceX.
- On February 1, 2026, Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX CEO, responded after newly released emails showed he asked in 2012 which night would be the wildest party on Epstein's island.

- Musk has maintained he refused Epstein's private island invitation last year and asserted he fought for full release of Epstein files and prosecutions, as noted by reporters including Zeteo reporter Prem Thakker.
- Reporters and critics flagged the emails and raised contradictions, while the disclosures renewed attention to Elon Musk's attendance at Dan Scavino's wedding and donations to Republican candidates.
- He argued the timing and release were a distraction, predicting opponents would admit nothing, deny everything, and make counter-accusations against him.
