Elon Musk and Prince Andrew have been named in the latest mass “data dump” of the Epstein files.
Mr Musk, the world’s richest man, was invited to Jeffrey Epstein’s island, Little St James, according to the freshly-released documents.
He is listed as a potential visitor to the private island in December 2014, six years after Epstein was first convicted for soliciting a minor for prostitution.
However, Mr Musk’s inclusion in the files – turned over to the House Oversight Committee by the Jeffrey Epstein Estate – comes with a caveat.

A page from the paedophile’s daily schedule reads “Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec 6 (is this still happening?)”.
The Tesla tycoon has the past confessed to visiting Epstein’s New York City home.
“Several years ago, I was at his house in Manhattan for about 30 minutes in the middle of the afternoon with [ex-wife] Talulah [Riley], as she was curious about meeting this strange person for a novel she was writing,” he told Vanity Fair in 2019.
“We did not see anything inappropriate at all, apart from weird art. He tried repeatedly to get me to visit his island. I declined.”
While in 2012, Epstein is said to have boasted of the SpaceX magnate at the TED conference that year in California.
