United States tech billionaire Elon Musk has reacted to the U.S. Department of Justice’s recent release of about 3.5 million files related to late Jeffrey Epstein, using his account on Sunday to strongly deny any wrongdoing and reiterate his call for full disclosure and accountability.
In a lengthy post, the billionaire entrepreneur said he has consistently pushed for the complete release of the Epstein files and for the prosecution of anyone involved in the abuse of children. Musk claimed he anticipated backlash for his stance, alleging that critics and what he described as “legacy media” and “far-left propagandists” would respond by denying allegations, admitting nothing, and making counter-accusations against him.
Musk stressed that he never attended Epstein’s parties, never flew on the late financier’s private jet—often referred to as the “Lolita Express”—and never visited Epstein’s private island. He said accusations linking him to Epstein were false and deeply painful but added that he considered the personal cost worth it if it helped expose wrongdoing.
“I knew that I would be smeared relentlessly, despite never having attended his parties or been on his “Lolita Express” plane or set foot on his creepy island or done anything wrong at all.
“Nonetheless, the extreme pain of being accused of being the opposite of who I am was worth it.
“The strong must protect those who cannot protect themselves, especially vulnerable children,” Musk wrote, adding that he was willing to endure further attacks to help protect children and ensure justice for victims.
The DOJ’s massive document release has renewed public scrutiny of Epstein’s network of associates and reignited debate over transparency and accountability in one of the most controversial criminal cases in recent U.S. history. Musk’s comments come amid heightened online speculation and renewed calls from various quarters for further investigations and prosecutions tied to the files.
