Epstein’s Scheme to Target Elon Musk via Brother Kimbal

Boris Nikolic, described by Jeffrey Epstein as a close “good friend” in correspondence, informed Epstein via email about preparations for an upcoming party. He mentioned that the guest would arrive accompanied by Sarah and suggested that Kimbal might consider setting aside his former or ongoing romantic partner to join.

Nikolic urged Epstein to ready Sarah for the occasion, punctuating the message with a playful winking emoji. Although numerous names in the Department of Justice’s initial document release remained partially visible, this publication has opted to alter the identities of the women referenced here to safeguard their privacy.

Epstein’s Calculated Moves Post-Introduction

Following the celebratory gathering and subsequent lunch, Sarah and Kimbal embarked on a romantic relationship that lasted several months. During this period, Epstein meticulously tracked the progression of their affair. He orchestrated Sarah’s participation and her journeys alongside Kimbal, as evidenced by a substantial volume of emails from the Epstein archives. This orchestration appeared aimed at forging a pathway to Kimbal’s sibling, Elon Musk, who helmed Tesla and SpaceX and had recently ascended to Forbes’ billionaire rankings in 2012, coinciding with the relationship’s inception. Kimbal presently occupies positions on the boards of both enterprises. Post-lunch at Epstein’s upscale Manhattan residence, Epstein boasted to associates that he and Elon maintained frequent communication, per recollections from a staff member at Epstein’s property during that era.

These communications provide a stark glimpse into Epstein’s methodologies for cultivating alliances among elites, maneuvering women within his influence as strategic assets in a grand design. Every email cited herein originates from the extensive Epstein-related documents recently disclosed by the Department of Justice.

The intricate strategy encompassed pinpointing influential figures such as the Musk siblings, deploying intermediaries and women to solidify bonds, and persistently maneuvering for inclusion in their exclusive social spheres. Epstein and his confidants exchanged regular progress reports on these endeavors, drawn from the Justice Department records. The Musk brothers represent merely two among numerous prominent entrepreneurs whose exchanges surfaced in the latest document disclosures, many of whom have since sought to sever public associations with the infamous financier.

A former employee at Epstein’s residence described the catered luncheon around Kimbal Musk’s birthday as emblematic of recurring setups. Such events typically featured entertainers like magicians or film stars, alongside tycoons akin to Musk or Bill Gates, and alluring women from Epstein’s inner circle, the staffer recounted. This account was shared anonymously to preserve the individual’s confidentiality.

Environment of Control and Abuse

Within the confines of the residence, Epstein enforced a rigidly managed atmosphere for his female assistants, many in their early twenties and hailing from Eastern European backgrounds, as indicated by emails and media coverage. The staffer detailed pervasive mistreatment occurring almost routinely in private moments, with Epstein rotating assistants for abusive purposes. One such communication from Epstein identified Sarah as among his assistants.

Extensive reporting has illuminated how these women entered Epstein’s employ anticipating modeling gigs or professional prospects that frequently failed to materialize, rendering them reliant on him for essentials like visas, accommodations, or financial support. The longer their association endured, the staffer observed, the deeper the entrapment became.

Although media outlets have previously covered Kimbal Musk’s Epstein connections, a detailed examination of the full timeline, emails concerning Sarah, and insights from a contemporaneous staffer unveils a more layered narrative. It remains uncertain if the recently divorced Kimbal grasped the authentic dynamics of his liaison with Sarah or Epstein’s covert orchestration.

Neither Musk brother replied to repeated inquiries from this publication by deadline. Earlier this week, Kimbal issued a statement on X asserting that his 2012 romantic partner was 30 at the outset and branded Epstein a “demon.” He clarified that their sole encounter transpired in Epstein’s daytime New York office, with no further meetings or visits to the island. Kimbal expressed solidarity with Epstein’s victims and all survivors of sexual misconduct.

Sarah declined comment. Her lawyer, Brad Edwards, lamented the exposure stemming from DOJ redaction oversights, which inflicts distress on victims. He contrasted public fascination with gossip against the erasure of victims’ privacy rights.

Certain facets of the Sarah-Kimbal romance and Epstein’s role gained prior coverage in 2020.

Epstein’s Total Oversight of Relationships

By the commencement of her involvement with Kimbal Musk, Sarah had labored under Epstein’s vigilant supervision for roughly six years, inferred from the DOJ email repository.

These messages further imply her residence in one of Epstein’s numerous New York properties designated for associates. Her activities were routinely vetted or surveilled by him; her illnesses prompted updates, and her travels were funded by Epstein.

The former Epstein employee emphasized Epstein’s dominion over the timetables of women in his network, prohibiting unapproved travel. He micromanaged their every action, the source affirmed.

Epstein’s scrutiny extended to Sarah’s budding romance with Kimbal, with updates from her or associates detailing Kimbal’s overtures for pre-trip meetings or travels to destinations including New York, London, and Los Angeles.

In one forwarded message, Kimbal enthused to Sarah that cosmic forces aligned them for extended togetherness.

Epstein obtained precise itineraries delineating her time with Kimbal versus availability. Sarah deferred to him for the ultimate decision on accompanying Kimbal through Thanksgiving 2012 or remaining with Epstein; he opted for the former, suggesting a romantic escape to Morocco thereafter, prior to her return to his island.

On February 9, shortly post-DOJ release, Kimbal posted on X claiming a mutual friend facilitated their 2012 meeting, not Epstein.

Yet, two weeks post-party, Kimbal emailed Epstein and Nikolic expressing gratitude for facilitating his Sarah connection, crediting both with smiles. Nikolic advised Kimbal to treat her well, warning of Epstein’s ire toward mistreatment of his female companions.

Kimbal acknowledged the counsel unequivocally.

Leveraging the Romance for Elon Access

Epstein promptly capitalized on Kimbal’s fresh liaison to infiltrate Elon’s sphere. Weeks after the party, he notified Elon of an impending New York sighting of “your brother and his new romance,” though Elon confirmed absence.

That autumn, discussions arose regarding a prospective visit to Epstein’s infamous Caribbean retreat. On Christmas 2012, Elon messaged about craving high-energy partying in St. Barts post-family holidays to unwind from grueling work, politely declining a serene island stay. No trip materialized.

In February 2013, Epstein referenced Kimbal again, querying if Elon learned of Sarah’s jest about pregnancy, then pivoted to TED attendance. Elon indicated brevity at the event but welcomed discussion at SpaceX’s Long Beach facility.

Records indicate Epstein arrived with three women on February 25, 2013, for the tour, later thanking Elon and reminiscing about Christmas. Elon replied noncommittally.

Elon refuted SpaceX visits by Epstein in a 2020 X post, unaware of origins.

Nevertheless, Epstein dispatched over 50 messages to Elon—lauding launches, suggesting energizers, probing workload—often met with curt dismissals. Elon never extended invitations or personal inquiries.

Reacting to a document screenshot this month on X, Elon revealed blocking Epstein after persistent island solicitations.

Breakup’s Ripple Effects on Epstein’s Plans

April 2013 marked Epstein’s lost leverage when Kimbal ended things with Sarah, citing familial moves, ex-wife entanglements, and bandwidth limits. He proposed casual weekend fun over commitment. Sarah shared this with Epstein and restaurateur Steve Hanson, who sporadically advised on her career.

Seeking input, Sarah lamented priority status. Epstein celebrated her full-time return, directing her to the ranch—presumably New Mexico’s Zorro Ranch.

Hanson critiqued Sarah’s overinvestment, urging immediate exit and promising a strategy. She framed it as a contest Sarah was forfeiting.

Epstein inquired her location, mistaking it for Kimbal’s side in LA; she clarified family obligations per his prior directive during her grandfather’s funeral, preferring distance if merely dating.

Days later, Epstein lamented to another the Milken conference skip due to the breakup severing Elon access and festivities. He messaged Elon about Hotel Bel-Air (ignored) and a missive Elon briefly acknowledged.

Epstein persisted: pitches on Israel’s ex-defense minister, Santa Fe visits, breakfasts, UN mansion openings—mostly ignored.

Elon once pursued 2013 holiday island dates, but Epstein demurred citing scheduling, regretting the foregone fun-focused time.

Beyond a lively dinner Epstein noted with Zuckerberg, Thiel, and Hoffman, Elon skipped further events. The ex-staffer recalled no Elon post-2012 lunch.

Yet covertly, Epstein orchestrated another woman’s—Alice (pseudonym)—Kimbal interactions. In June 2013, post her May outrage over a massage quid pro quo suggestion she deemed sordid, Epstein boasted of gifting another to Kimbal, who was delighted. Epstein’s spelling inconsistencies recurred.

Epstein’s Fortune-Building Through Elite Ties

Emails omit Epstein’s explicit aims with the Musks, but mirrored his wealth accumulation: cozying to affluent figures, nurturing tangled bonds, occasionally wielding influence.

Post-2008 sex offender registration, elite correspondence endured, fueling scrutiny after 2018 Miami Herald exposé on his lenient plea and 2019 trafficking indictment. Queries arose on sustained elite engagement lending him legitimacy.

Emails lack evidence Kimbal knew Sarah’s Epstein employment, updates, or counsel. Yet October 2012, Nikolic warned Kimbal of her status as Epstein’s girl/friend.

Both Musks rebuffed tie insinuations; Elon pledged legal aid to truthful victims sued post-testimony.

The DOJ trove elucidates scant rationale for post-2008 elite persistence despite conviction notoriety, yet such ties bolstered Epstein’s allure to aspiring women, many eventual victims.

Even unknowing elites, per the ex-staffer, validated Epstein, ignoring Eastern European women’s plight.
