Musk, Thiel, and Bannon References
The newly disclosed records include notable entries involving high-profile figures:
- Elon Musk: A December 6, 2014, calendar entry reads, “Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?).”
- Peter Thiel: A November 27, 2017, entry lists a lunch with Thiel, a Silicon Valley billionaire and Republican donor.
- Steve Bannon: A February 16, 2019, schedule marks a breakfast meeting with Bannon, a former White House senior counselor and Trump ally.
While these notations suggest meetings or planned events, no criminal wrongdoing is alleged in the documents.
Democrats vs. Republicans Over Release
The surprise release, which Republicans say they were not warned about, sparked political tensions.
- Democrats argue the documents demonstrate Epstein’s close ties with some of the world’s wealthiest and most influential figures.
- Republicans accused Democrats of “cherry-picking” documents, claiming some material implicating Democratic officials is being withheld.
A GOP Oversight aide told Axios that unredacted calendars, call logs, and cash ledgers will eventually be made public, once victims’ identities are protected.
Why It Matters
Jeffrey Epstein’s network remains one of the most scrutinized aspects of his crimes.
The mention of figures like Musk, Thiel, and Bannon in official records highlights:
- The breadth of Epstein’s influence across politics, business, and tech.
- How continued transparency is essential for accountability.
- The ongoing political battles over how much of the truth is shared with the public.
