Elon Musk, the SpaceX and Tesla CEO, has stirred up matters again with his tweet asking to see Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s client list. Epstein was convicted as a sex offender and found dead in his jail cell. Maxwell is under arrest for having assisted Epstein. Prince Andrew was notoriously involved in Epstein-Maxwell’s ring.
Noting that the Department of Justice hasn’t leaked the list yet, and neither is the media interested, Musk shared a collage of things he’s not likely to see in his life. Apart from the list, there are images of a dinosaur, a dragon, and one unicorn.

The entrepreneur followed up the controversial ask, saying, “Sometimes I think my list of enemies is too short, so …”.
Despite Musk’s current jokes, he was swept up in the Epstein-Maxwell controversy as well, when an image emerged of the 50-year-old along with Maxwell at a Vanity Fair party.
The billionaire responded to these resurfaced accusations, saying “Ah yes, Maxwell photobombing me at a @VanityFair Oscars party – you should them why they invited her. The same people who push this photo say nothing about prominent people who actually went to his island a dozen times. Also very strange …”
There were also accounts of paedophile Epstein, having toured the SpaceX facilities. However, Musk denied this and in a statement to Vanity Fair, the entrepreneur distanced himself from the incident, saying Epstein was “obviously a creep”.

Epstein had long-standing relations with prominent individuals, including two former US Presidents, Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.
Musk is poised to buy Twitter, having already extended an offer. However, the deal is at a standstill over the number of bot accounts on the social media platform. In his personal life, the innovator is linked to Natasha Bassett, the actor. The two are rumoured to be dating and were publicly seen in Saint Tropez.
