Musk denied any involvement with Jeffrey Epstein after his name appeared in newly released Epstein files, calling document disclosures “performative” without arrests. He said justice lies in prosecuting offenders, amid scrutiny over past emails discussing a possible island visit.
Even as Elon Musk's name surfaced in the massive trove of fresh Epstein files, the tech billionaire said on Saturday (Jan 30) that justice in the case will only be served through the prosecution of those who committed crimes. He has also reiterated that he had never been to any Epstein parties ever and have many times call for the prosecution of those who have committed crimes with Epstein. Dismissing the release of select Epstein-related files as “performative", he also said that when there is even one arrest related to the case, it will be justice, otherwise everything is “distraction.” He was responding to a post that backed him and called him the “loudest public voice” who demanded accountability. Notably, during his public fallout with Trump last year, he had said that US president's name is also on the Epstein Files.
“When there is at least one arrest, some justice will have been done. If not, this is all performative. Nothing but a distraction," Musk wrote. Musk’s comments come amid renewed scrutiny following the release of US Department of Justice documents that shed light on his past communications with Epstein. In another post, he said, “I have never been to any Epstein parties ever and have many times call for the prosecution of those who have committed crimes with Epstein. The acid test for justice is not the release of the files, but rather the prosecution of those who committed heinous crimes with Epstein.”
