Vivian Wilson, the estranged daughter of Elon Musk, has commented publicly after the release of new documents showing email correspondence between the billionaire
and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The newly released files include emails exchanged between Musk and Epstein in 2012 and 2013, discussing possible travel to the Caribbean, including a potential visit to Epstein's private island. There is no confirmation that any such visit took place.
'I Believe They Are Authentic'
In a series of posts on Threads on Saturday, Wilson said she recalled being on holiday with her family at the time referenced in the emails. "I can confirm we were in St Barth's at the time specified in the emails, and therefore I believe they are authentic," she wrote from her verified Threads account, "vivllainous".
She added: "I knew nothing about the e-mails previously so I'm learning about everything at the same time as y'all. If there's any other information I learn that I can corroborate I will do so."
In another post, Wilson said: "I think BVI (🇻🇬) likely refers to Necker Island, but I cannot confirm that." Wilson has previously been critical of her father and has legally changed her name, dropping Musk as her surname.
Musk Denies Visiting Epstein's Island
Elon Musk responded to the release of the documents in a post on X on Saturday, denying any visit to Epstein's island.
"I had very little correspondence with Epstein and declined repeated invitations to go to his island or fly on his 'Lolita Express', but was well aware that some email correspondence with him could be misinterpreted and used by detractors to smear my name," he wrote.
What the Emails Show
The documents show Epstein discussing potential travel arrangements to Little Saint James, an island he owned in the US Virgin Islands which later became the focus of numerous allegations of sexual abuse.
Emails from 2012 and 2013 reference travel in the Caribbean, including St Barth's and the British Virgin Islands.
According to a report by the Associated Press, citing documents released by the US Department of Justice, a December 2013 email shows Musk saying he would be "in the BVI/St Bart's area over the holidays" and asking: "Is there a good time to visit?"
The documents show Epstein replying with suggested dates, followed by another message indicating he would remain in New York and proposing to reschedule, the AP reported.
In a separate exchange included in the files, Musk asked Epstein: "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?"
The exchange has renewed scrutiny of prominent figures whose names appear in records linked to Epstein, whose associations have continued to attract public attention following investigations into sex trafficking and abuse.
Media outlets highlighted the emails after the latest release of files, prompting renewed debate over the nature of interactions between Epstein and high-profile individuals, and the context in which those communications took place.
