WASHINGTON – Billionaire Elon Musk and Britain’s Prince Andrew have been named in newly released documents tied to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The files, disclosed by the Jeffrey Epstein Estate to the U.S. House Oversight Committee and published by Democrats on Friday, include flight manifests, phone message logs, financial ledgers, and Epstein’s daily schedules.
One entry dated December 6, 2014, refers to a “reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?).” Musk has previously said that while Epstein invited him to the island, he never visited.
A separate manifest from May 12, 2000, lists Prince Andrew as a passenger on a flight with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, from Teterboro, New Jersey, to West Palm Beach, Florida. Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of conspiring with Epstein to traffic minors.
Another redacted ledger references payments for massages for an “Andrew” in February and May 2000, though it is unclear whether this refers to the Duke of York.
Buckingham Palace records show Prince Andrew was in the United States during that period but have not confirmed any link to the ledger. He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
The latest release also names other high-profile figures, including internet entrepreneur Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon, a former White House adviser, as being listed for planned meetings with Epstein.
A 2014 entry references a tentative breakfast with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who later described meeting Epstein as a “mistake.”
Democrats on the Oversight Committee said the documents highlight Epstein’s connections to powerful global figures.
“Every new document produced provides new information as we work to bring justice for the survivors and victims,” committee spokesperson Sara Guerrero said, calling for the U.S. Attorney General to release additional files.
Republicans, however, accused Democrats of “putting politics over victims” and pledged to make the full set of documents public.
Epstein was first convicted in 2008 after admitting to soliciting a minor for prostitution in Florida.
He was arrested again in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges but died by suicide in a Manhattan jail while awaiting trial.
