Exclusive Photo Shows Musk and Zuckerberg at Epstein Dinner
A photograph of Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, shared by convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has emerged from the latest batch of Epstein Files, revealing details of a "wild" dinner in California in 2015. The image, emailed by Epstein to himself on August 3, 2015, depicts the Facebook founder and SpaceX CEO seated at a dinner table with several other individuals, raising new questions about the tech billionaires' associations.
Emails Confirm Dinner Arrangements and Aftermath
Epstein bragged about the meeting in an email to author Peter Attia on August 2, 2015, stating, "I might be in LA Monday, burbank to look at the interior of the other bbj, tonite dinner with Musk, [Peter] Thiel, Zuckerburg." Attia responded, "Sounds like an awesome dinner." In a separate email to US businessman Tom Pritzker on August 20, 2015, Epstein confirmed the event took place, remarking, "I had dinner with Zuckerberg, Musk, Thiel, Hoffman. Wild."
Musk's Previous Communications with Epstein
While Musk has previously claimed he refused to visit Epstein's infamous Little St. John island, the files reveal cordial exchanges between the two. In November 2012, Musk asked Epstein, "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?" Further messages in December 2012 and December 2013 show Musk inquiring about parties and island visits, though he later clarified on X/Twitter that these emails were misinterpreted and aimed to smear his name.
Scrutiny Over Tech Billionaires' Ties
The Epstein Files have prompted uneasy questions about the extent of meetings between tech leaders and Epstein following his 2008 conviction. Zuckerberg's chief of staff acknowledged he attended a group dinner hosted by Hoffman in Palo Alto, but it remains unclear what was discussed. Meeting with Epstein does not, by itself, indicate wrongdoing, but the revelations continue to fuel public and legal scrutiny.
Musk has publicly stated his desire for those who committed serious crimes with Epstein to be prosecuted, as the fallout from these files underscores the complex web of high-profile connections in the tech industry.
