Tesla Boss Elon Musk has reacted to the US Congressional Democrats' release on Friday of daily schedules belonging to the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein from 2014 to 2019, which show Epstein had plans to meet with Republican donors, Peter Thiel, and conservative commentator Steve Bannon. Musk took to X Saturday to reject reports linking him to Jeffrey Epstein, posting simply: “This is false.”

“Every few months the media makes up new lies to attack Elon Musk. Now they are trying to link his name to Epstein Island. Democratic Party & their media allies see Elon as a threat because he exposes corruption, challenges their narrative, & gives people free speech through X,” a X user wrote embedding a news article featuring Musk’s links with the sex offender.

Britain's Prince Andrew flew on Epstein's private jet

The documents, which Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said came from Epstein's estate in response to a congressional subpoena, also showed Britain's Prince Andrew flew on Epstein's private jet in 2000.

There were no accusations of any wrongdoing by Musk, Thiel, Bannon or Andrew in the documents released on Friday. The daily calendars do not indicate whether Epstein's meetings with Musk, Thiel and Bannon in fact took place.

US President Donald Trump has been facing criticism in recent months from his conservative base and congressional Democrats over his administration's handling of the Epstein case.

to do so.

The Democrats said the documents showed Epstein was friends with "some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world," and called on the Justice Department to release all the documents from its probe. "Oversight Democrats will not stop until we identify everyone complicit in Epstein's heinous crimes," Sara Guerrero, a spokesperson for the committee, said in a press release accompanying the documents.

FBI Director Kash Patel said in congressional testimony earlier this month that there was no credible information that Epstein trafficked women and underage girls to anyone but himself.

Epstein died by suicide in 2019 in jail while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, to which he had pleaded not guilty.
