Elon Musk, Trump ally Steve Bannon, businessman Peter Thiel named in third batch of Epstein Files

Elon Musk’s name has now come up in the Jeffrey Epstein files, along with other big names like Bill Gates, Prince Andrew, Steve Bannon, and Peter Thiel. On Friday, Democratic lawmakers made public some documents from the Epstein investigation. These papers suggest that Epstein may have had contact with several well-known figures, including Musk, Bannon, and Thiel, years after pleading guilty in 2007 to sex crimes.

The six pages, with some parts hidden, were handed over by the Justice Department to the House Oversight Committee. The committee is looking into how Epstein’s sex-trafficking case was handled before his death in federal custody in 2019.

According to Epstein’s personal calendars released by the committee, he had planned a breakfast with Trump’s ally Steve Bannon in February 2019, a lunch with tech billionaire Peter Thiel in November 2017, and possibly a visit from Elon Musk to his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands on December 6, 2014.
