Elon Musk is escalating his public clash with LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, calling for a full investigation into the Democrat megadonor’s documented associations with convicted child predator Jeffrey Epstein.
The communications include hundreds of emails about gifts, visits to Epstein’s properties, and offers to assist with public relations as the child sex trafficking scandal intensified.
In the emails, Hoffman described Epstein as his “very close friend.”
The confrontation intensified after Musk reacted to a detailed investigative thread outlining Hoffman’s contacts with Epstein.
Musk responded bluntly:
“Hoffman should be investigated.”

Emails, Visits, and Questions About Epstein’s Inner Circle
Records cited in the discussion describe Hoffman exchanging more than 1,700 emails with Epstein.
Hoffman visited multiple Epstein properties, including Little St. James (“Pedophile Island”), the New Mexico ranch, and the Manhattan “House of Horrors” townhouse.
Messages referenced in the thread include multiple discussions of bringing “ice cream… for the girls” and gifting a “metal sculpture for the island.”
The “ice cream” reference appeared to be a code word.
However, it is unclear what it refers to.
In another exchange, Hoffman appeared to express regret over a missed opportunity to deliver a present, replying “likewise” to Epstein’s disappointment and suggesting it could wait “for the next opportunity.”
Additional communications reportedly show Hoffman offering assistance with Epstein’s negative press coverage in early 2015, as global scrutiny intensified over child trafficking allegations tied to Virginia Roberts and former Prince Andrew.
Musk’s Direct Accusations
Musk has repeatedly challenged Hoffman publicly, disputing claims that Hoffman had been cleared of wrongdoing and pointing to documented visits and communications.
“Liar, you are guilty of dark deeds and haven’t been cleared of anything,” Musk wrote to Hoffman.
“You stayed at Epstein’s island, Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico and Epstein’s house in New York.
“You offered to help him with PR.
“You gave him gifts …
“Maybe if it was only one stay over, you could claim it was a mistake. Maybe.
“But there is NO possible explanation for the second time, let alone the third time.
“As the record shows, you were an eager repeat customer.”
Liar, you are guilty of dark deeds and haven’t been cleared of anything.

Maybe if it was only one stay over, you could claim it…

Musk has also said he rejected Epstein’s invitations, contrasting his own conduct with Hoffman’s documented travel:
“Epstein hounded me relentlessly to go to his pedo island, and I always declined.
“Not you though. You actually went.”
Political Spending and Broader Fallout
Hoffman has donated more than $100 million to Democrat causes and funded a range of political and legal efforts targeting conservative figures and movements, particularly President Donald Trump.
His political activity has drawn renewed scrutiny as Epstein-related disclosures continue to surface.
Files discussed in the ongoing controversy describe continued contact between Hoffman and Epstein years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, including meetings, calls, and social interactions in technology and academic circles.
Reid Hoffman is lying. He has not been cleared by the FBI and should be investigated.

Critics argue the revelations highlight how Epstein maintained relationships with powerful figures long after his criminal case became public, raising broader questions about accountability among elite political and business networks.

Growing Pressure for Transparency
The dispute between Musk and Hoffman comes amid continuing fallout from newly released Epstein-related materials and renewed public demands for transparency about who maintained contact with the disgraced financier.
Musk’s call for an investigation signals that the controversy is unlikely to fade, especially as political, technological, and media power centers intersect in the expanding scrutiny surrounding Epstein’s network.
