Epstein emailed the image to himself on Monday, August 3, 2015, one day after he bragged about meeting tech chiefs for a swanky dinner."Where are you?" Epstein asked author Peter Attia on August 2, 2015. "I might be in LA Monday, burbank to look at the interior of the other bbj, tonite dinner with Musk, [Pataltr boss Peter] Thiel, Zuckerburg." Attia later responded: "Sounds like an awesome dinner."READ MORE: Elon Musk's X offices in France raided by cyber-crime unit in sick images probeREAD MORE: Elon Musk says emails with Epstein were 'misinterpreted' after latest files releaseIn a separate email to US businessman Tom Pritzker on August 20 that year, Epstein confirmed in an August 20, 2015, email the dinner went ahead. He said: "I had dinner with Zuckerberg, Musk, Thiel, Hoffman. Wild"Musk previously claimed he had "refused" to visit Epstein's infamous Little St. John island in the US Virgin islands. But the latest batch of Epstein Files revealed the pair had been in cordial conversation with Musk asking the sex offender in November 2012: "What day/night will be the wildest party on =our [your] island?"The pair continued exchanging messages with one another, with Musk again asking on December 25, 2013: "When should we head over to your island." In December 2012, Musk messaged Epstein: "Do you have any parties planned? I've been working to the edge of sanity this year and so, once my kids head home after Christmas, I really want to hit the party scene in St Barts or elsewhere and let loose. The invitation is much appreciated, but a peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I'm looking for."Musk addressed the messages in a post shared to X/Twitter, where he claimed the emails could be used to "smear my name." He said he wanted "those who committed serious crimes with Epstein" to be prosecuted.The Epstein Files have forced uneasy questions about tech billionaire's ties and meetings with Epstein following his conviction for child sex offenders in 2008. One email exchange with Zuckerberg's chief of staff said had attended a group dinner hosted by Hoffman in Palo Alto.It is unclear what, if anything, Epstein and other attendees of the dinner spoke about. Meeting with Epstein does not, by itself, indicate wrongdoing.
