Epstein Sought to Bring Entourage of Women on 2013 SpaceX Visit

Epstein coordinated a visit with Elon Musk in 2013, but SpaceX limited his three foreign assistants to lobby areas due to strict security and export control rules.

  • In February 2013, Jeffrey Epstein attempted to bring three foreign nationals to a SpaceX headquarters tour, emails released by the U.S. Justice Department show, raising security concerns.
  • Epstein sought to ingratiate himself with high-profile people after his 2009 release, while SpaceX operates under International Traffic in Arms Regulations restricting foreign access due to defense-related technology.
  • Musk's aide requested passport scans for security clearance and later said the foreign nationals could not be cleared for a full tour, limiting the three women to the lobby or conference room at SpaceX.
  • Bloomberg reported that SpaceX has denied Epstein visited and Musk posted in July 2020 that Epstein `never toured SpaceX`, with emails now complicating these claims.
  • On Feb. 26, Epstein emailed Musk directly: 'thanks for the tour,' after a Feb. 25 lunch was settled on, as emails show.
