Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Howard Lutnick face new scrutiny over Epstein ties

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Newly released investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein are bringing increased scrutiny to the relationships between the deceased financier and prominent figures like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Howard Lutnick. The documents, released by the US Department of Justice in January 2026, suggest more extensive contact than previously known. The files include a draft email where Epstein alleges Gates had affairs and sought his help procuring drugs, allegations Gates denies. Emails also reveal Musk actively pursued visits to Epstein's private island between 2012 and 2013, contradicting Musk's previous claims of rebuffing Epstein's invitations. The release of these documents is reigniting questions about the nature and extent of Epstein's connections to powerful individuals.
