New images from the Epstein files show tech billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg attending a 'wild' dinner hosted by Jeffrey Epstein in 2015. The Department of Justice has faced pressure to release more materials related to Epstein's connections with powerful figures, though being pictured with the convicted sex offender does not imply guilt. Both Musk and Zuckerberg have denied close ties to Epstein in the past.
Why it matters
The release of these images reignites questions about the extent of Epstein's connections to influential figures in the tech industry and beyond. While association with Epstein does not automatically equate to wrongdoing, the continued revelations about his extensive network of high-profile contacts raise concerns about the potential influence and access he wielded.
The details
The images were found in the Epstein files released by the Department of Justice. They show Musk and Zuckerberg attending a 'wild' dinner hosted by Epstein in 2015, along with other tech leaders like PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. Epstein had emailed the photos to himself in 2015. Both Musk and Zuckerberg have previously denied close ties to Epstein, with Musk saying he does not know Epstein well enough to have introduced him to Zuckerberg, as has been claimed.
- In 2015, Epstein hosted a 'wild' dinner that Musk, Zuckerberg, and other tech leaders attended.
