- Democrats on Friday published excerpts from what appears to be Jeffrey Epstein’s daily schedules.
- They mention scheduled meetings with Bill Gates, Peter Thiel, and Steve Bannon.
- One entry mentions Elon Musk possibly visiting an island. Musk previously said he denied invitations.
A new batch of documents from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein includes mentions of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Peter Thiel, and Steve Bannon on what appear to be scheduling notes for the deceased pedophile financier.
Business Insider hasn’t independently verified whether these meetings actually occurred. Representatives for Musk, Gates, Thiel, and Bannon didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
On Friday, Democrats serving on the House Oversight Committee, which subpoenaed Epstein’s estate, published six pages from a tranche of documents it received.
Several of those pages include emails that appear to be from one of Epstein’s assistants showing draft schedules for his days. They feature scheduled haircuts, teeth cleanings, movie screenings, and meetings with some of the most powerful people in the world.
An entry for Saturday, December 6, 2014, places Epstein at his Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. On that same day, it suggests Musk may visit an island and questions if the trip would still occur.
“Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?)” the note reads.
House Democrats didn’t include documents with scheduling notes from the subsequent days.
In 2019, Musk told Vanity Fair that Epstein tried “repeatedly to get me to visit his island” but that he declined.
Epstein owned a vast property in the US Virgin Islands, and multiple women have alleged that he sexually abused them there. In 2022, Epstein’s estate agreed to pay $105 million to the government of the US Virgin Islands to settle a civil sex-trafficking case.
During a dramatic split with President Donald Trump in June, Musk said the president was to blame for not publicly releasing documents about Epstein, commonly referred to as the “Epstein files,” and said the president is in them.
According to the newly released documents, on December 5, 2014 — the day before the entry that mentions Musk — Epstein had a scheduled breakfast meeting with Gates, who at the time had recently stepped down as CEO of Microsoft.
“TBD TENTATIVE BREAKFAST Party w/Bill Gates (Invited Ron Baron and Josh Harris…awaiting,” the entry read.
Another entry for Monday, November 27, 2017, shows a scheduled noon lunch with investor Peter Thiel in New York.
And later — just months before Epstein’s death — he had a scheduled 7 a.m. breakfast with Steve Bannon, also in New York.
