The Tech Elites within the Epstein Files | EUROtoday

“I had very little correspondence with Epstein and declined repeated invitations to go to his island or fly on his ‘Lolita Express,’ but was well aware that some email correspondence with him could be misinterpreted and used by detractors to smear my name,” Musk stated in a submit on X on Saturday. “I don’t care about that, but what I do care about is that we at least attempt to prosecute those who committed serious crimes with Epstein, especially regarding heinous exploitation of underage girls.” Musk didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark from WIRED.

Larry Page (314 Files), Sergey Brin (294 Files)

The Google cofounders seem within the Epstein information roughly the identical variety of occasions, and each have been linked to Epstein beforehand. Page and Brin had been each issued subpoenas in 2023 associated to a civil lawsuit by the US Virgin Islands in opposition to JP Morgan Chase tied to Epstein’s intercourse trafficking crimes. In courtroom paperwork associated to Virginia Giuffre’s defamation lawsuit in opposition to Ghislaine Maxwell, which had been unsealed in 2024, Epstein sufferer Sarah Ransome alleged that she had met Brin and his fiancée, Anne Wojcicki, previous to their 2007 marriage ceremony, “when they visited the island for the day.”

The just lately launched DOJ information present a a lot fuller image of their relationships with Epstein, notably for Brin. An e-mail alternate in April 2003 with Ghislaine Maxwell means that Brin had dinner at Epstein’s New York townhouse that month. (“Dinners at Jeffrey’s are always happily casual and relaxed,” Maxwell wrote.) In it, Brin supplied to ask “our CEO Eric,” referring to Google’s then CEO Eric Schmidt, although he says that Schmidt’s “schedule will probably be a bit more packed,” and there’s no indication Schmidt attended.

Page additionally seems to have dined with Epstein. “David Gergen is asking who was at the lunch or dinner years ago when he came=to your house and the Google guys were there (Larry Page and Sergey Brin),” Groff wrote to Epstein in 2015. There are references within the information, too, to purported enterprise dealings between Page and Epstein. “Larry Page’s chief pilot, Tony contacted Nicolas today and is interested ‘again’ using your Bell 407 for the St. Barts operation,” says an e-mail to Epstein from a redacted deal with despatched on December 23, 2010, adopted by a breakdown of the potential related charges. The Bell 407 is a sort of helicopter; emails present that an entity referred to as “Air Ghislaine Inc” bought one on October 30, 2002. The “St. Barts operation” seems to be a go to; Epstein was notified in an e-mail later that very same day that “Larry Page has changed his mind and will use boat to st barts.”

On one other event, Epstein emailed a hyperlink to a information story about Google testing “internet-broadcasting drones” in New Mexico to a redacted deal with. “You can tell larry page that they can use my runway =s most of this land is my ranch,” he wrote. There’s no indication that this occurred. Alphabet didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark from WIRED. Anne Wojcicki didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark.

Mark Zuckerberg (282 Files), Jeff Bezos (196 Files), Eric Schmidt (193 Files)

While Epstein appeared to e-mail primarily about Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg quite than with him, the information do point out not less than one event when the 2 met. They had been each on an invitation record emailed by Reid Hoffman’s assistant for a dinner on August 2, 2015, with neuroscientist Ed Boyden. Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Joi Ito had been among the many different invitees. Hoffman adopted up a number of days later with an e-mail to Zuckerberg and Epstein with the topic line “intros.” “Jeffrey, Zuck,” the message reads, “email connections from the Ed Boyden dinner — so that convo can continue.”

There’s no indication that Zuckerberg ever responded. And in any other case, Epstein seems to have spent much more time emailing about Zuckerberg—his marriage to Priscilla Chan, whether or not he deserved a Nobel Peace Prize—than with him.
