Musk Denies Epstein Parties, Photo Shows Tech Elite Dinner

In August 2015, a dinner attended by prominent tech figures including Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg was hosted by Jeffrey Epstein. A photograph from the event, which Epstein emailed to himself, shows Zuckerberg seated next to Musk. Other attendees at the gathering reportedly included Peter Thiel and Joi Ito, former director of the MIT Media Lab.

Epstein described the dinner as "wild" in an email sent to himself. He also mentioned the event in an email to celebrity doctor Peter Attia, who responded positively. Despite the evidence, Musk has asserted that he has never attended any parties organized by Epstein, though he confirmed his attendance at this specific dinner.

Meta stated that Zuckerberg had only met Epstein in passing and had no further communication after the dinner. Musk has also clarified his limited correspondence with Epstein, declining repeated invitations to his island or private jet. These documents were part of a recent batch released by the US Department of Justice on January 30.
