Overview
- Posting on X late Friday, Elon Musk alleged Reid Hoffman stayed at multiple Epstein properties and offered him PR help and gifts.
- Hoffman said the FBI had cleared him of wrongdoing, reiterated regret over the association, and denied any illegal conduct.
- Both tech leaders appear in the Justice Department’s latest Epstein files, which spurred the renewed public clash.
- Hoffman shared a 2012 email showing Musk asking Epstein about the “wildest party” on his island; Musk responded that he never went and later blocked Epstein.
- Coverage noted that inclusion in emails or travel and correspondence records does not by itself establish criminal behavior, even as the posts drew wide attention on X.
