image for Kimbal Musk — Elon’s brother — referenced more than 100 times in latest Epstein files release

Kimbal Musk, brother of Elon Musk and Boulder resident, is referenced at least 140 times in emails exchanged between Jeffrey Epstein and his associates, according to a new batch of documents the Department of Justice released last week as part of the Epstein files investigation.

The emails range from exchanges between Kimbal Musk and disgraced financier Epstein scheduling party times and meeting dates to Kimbal Musk thanking Epstein and his associates for “connecting” him to a woman in 2012.

One of Epstein’s friends, Boris Nikolic, replied that Kimbal Musk “better be nice” to the woman because “Jeffrey goes crazy when someone mistreats his girls/friends.”

Kimbal Musk replied that he had received the message “wide and clear” and included a winking emoji.

The emails exchanged between Kimbal Musk, Epstein, Nikolic and someone Kimbal Musk purports to date span 2012 to 2015, years after the first allegations surfaced about Epstein abusing young women and girls.

In January 2013, Epstein emails Kimbal Musk: “You are invited to the island for a couple of days, come relax.”.

Additional emails show Kimbal Musk inviting Epstein to various events, planning coffee meetings and trying to schedule visits. »
