Tesla CEO Elon Musk and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman traded jabs Friday night over their past relationships with Jeffrey Epstein, with each accusing the other of potential criminal conduct tied to those prior associations with the notorious child sex offender.
Both Musk and Hoffman were featured prominently in the Justice Department’s latest release of Epstein files, with new revelations being uncovered about the two billionaire’s ties to the disgraced financier.
Musk, who previously stated that Epstein had “tried repeatedly” to get him to visit his private island, was revealed to have “practically begged for an invitation” to the island himself. And Hoffman, a billionaire venture capitalist, appeared to have his previous account of his relationship with Epstein contradicted by the newly released DOJ files.
And yet, despite both being exposed for having a deeper relationship with Epstein than either had previously acknowledged, Musk came out swinging Friday by calling for Hoffman to be “investigated.”
Hoffman fired back, insisting that the FBI had already “cleared” him of any wrongdoing, while also writing to Musk in a social media post: “You on the other hand…”
Hoffman’s assertion that Musk may potentially be guilty of criminal conduct apparently set him off, with Musk launching into a blistering attack against the fellow billionaire.
“Liar, you are guilty of dark deeds and haven’t been cleared of anything. You stayed at Epstein’s island, Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico and Epstein’s house in New York. You offered to help him with PR. You gave him gifts,” Musk wrote in a social media post on X late Friday night.
“Maybe if it was only one stay over, you could claim it was a mistake. Maybe. But there is NO possible explanation for the second time, let alone the third time. As the record shows, you were an eager repeat customer.”
Musk and Hoffman have feuded with each other in the past, long before the DOJ first released its trove of Epstein files late last year. Last March, Musk accused Hoffman of funding protests against Tesla, an accusation Hoffman denied and attributed to people simply not liking the Tesla CEO.
Liar, you are guilty of dark deeds and haven’t been cleared of anything. You stayed at Epstein’s island, Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico and Epstein’s house in New York. You offered to help him with PR. You gave him gifts … Maybe if it was only one stay over, you could claim it… — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 14, 2026
