‘ABSURD’: Elon Musk Fires Back In Response To Subpoena In Jeffrey Epstein Probe

Elon Musk has maintained his separation from convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein after receiving a subpoena to testify in the ongoing trial surrounding Epstein and mega-bank J.P. Morgan Chase.

Musk on Monday shot down the allegation that Epstein introduced him to JPMorgan, which is facing a lawsuit from the U.S. Virgin Islands claiming the bank ignored Epstein’s exploitation of young girls while key executives continued to visit his infamous compound after dropping him as a client. News of the subpoena was first reported by The Blubber.

In his response, Musk called the allegation “idiotic on so many levels” and added it was absurd to think “that I would need or listen to financial advice from a dumb crook.” He also pointed out that JPMorgan “let Tesla down” 10 years ago and he never forgave the bank for its slight.

This is idiotic on so many levels:

1. That cretin never advised me on anything whatsoever.

2. The notion that I would need or listen to financial advice from a dumb crook is absurd.

3. JPM let Tesla down ten years ago, despite having Tesla’s global commercial banking…

In its suit, the U.S. Virgin Islands have demanded that Musk turn over all documents, correspondence, and payment records with the bank, according to court documents filed Monday. The territory is seeking to ascertain whether Musk had any insider knowledge about Epstein’s abuse of young women and minors.

The ongoing lawsuit asserts JPMorgan helped facilitate and fund Epstein’s private island, known as Little St. James, and ignored warnings from key regulators about suspicious withdrawals made by the financier. Before his death in 2019, Epstein bragged to have advised Musk as he searched for a new Tesla chairman, a charge Musk steadfastly denies.

The Twitter owner’s affiliation with Epstein and his enabler Ghislaine Maxwell has circulated for years since a photo emerged showing Musk and Maxwell together at a 2014 Oscars party. Musk claimed Maxwell “photobombed” him and said he never knew her.

Other organizations and individuals targeted by the U.S. Virgin Islands include Tesla itself, Google co-founder Larry Page, and former Disney president Michael Ovitz. Plaintiffs are combing Epstein’s vast former network for evidence that the rich and powerful knew and ignored evidence of his sexual abuse activities.
