Emails appear to show Elon Musk trying very hard to get invited to Jeffrey Epstein's party

The latest DOJ Epstein files dump has the internet abuzz. They appear to show a series of emails from 2012 in which Elon Musk repeatedly attempts to arrange a visit to Jeffrey Epstein's private island, growing increasingly eager and looking for a "wild party." The messages read like a pest hounding someone to get an invite.

Later that December, Epstein's personal assistant Lesley Groff relayed a message from one billionaire to another. "Just a reminder Elon Musk was asking about coming to your island on Jan. 2…. " she wrote.

Their plans apparently fell apart. On December 30, a dejected Epstein emailed Elon saying he couldn't be at the island with him because of his busy schedule.

"I was really looking forward to finally spending some time together with just fun as the agenda," Epstein wrote. "so i am very disappointed. Hopefully we can schedule another time in the near future."

Even more damningly in December 2012, Musk sent an email practically begging Epstein for an invitation to some debauchery.

"Do you have any parties planned? I've been working to the edge of sanity this year and so, once my kids head home after Christmas, I really want to hit the party scene in St Barts or elsewhere and let loose," Musk wrote. He added that "a peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I'm looking for."Futurism

For someone who says he barely knew Epstein, Musk seems to have been trying remarkably hard to get on the guest list.
