He didn't answer the email? Surely there's a response isn't there?

The bottom email from the Epstein camp sent on February 19, 2013 is requesting the get together.

The top email from the Musk camp sent on February 20, 2013 suggested lunch and gave available days.

Both camps are wealthy and normally have assistants/secretaries handle scheduling. Pretty much the norm once you reach a certain position. Where I'm at, the Admiral has a Flag Secretary who runs his schedule.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick among those mentioned in latest Epstein files release

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick planned a visit to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s private island in 2012, according to documents released by the Department of Justice on Friday. The planned visit would have come years after Epstein plead guilty to two prostitution-related charges in 2008, including with a minor.

One day later, on Dec. 24, Lutnick received an email from Epstein's assistant that said, "Jeffrey wished me to pass along the below to you: Nice seeing you." [So it sounds as though it was not just planned, but carried out. Again no particular whiff of criminality, apart from the one already emanating from Epstein.]

Records Show Trump Commerce Secretary Entered a Business Deal With Jeffrey Epstein After Epstein’s Sex Crime Conviction

Justice Department records show Howard Lutnick entered a business agreement with Epstein years after publicly saying he severed ties, with contact continuing into the late 2010s.​

Four days [after the 'Nice Seeing You' message above], on Dec. 28, 2012, Epstein and Lutnick signed a contract agreeing to acquire stakes in a now-defunct advertising technology company called Adfin. The agreement lists nine shareholders. Epstein signed on behalf of Southern Trust Company, Inc., while Lutnick signed for a limited liability company called CVAFH I. Their signatures appear on neighboring pages of the contract, which was released by the Justice Department.

FBI concluded Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t running a sex trafficking ring for powerful men, files show


Videos and photos seized from Epstein’s homes in New York, Florida and the Virgin Islands didn’t depict victims being abused or implicate anyone else in his crimes, a prosecutor wrote in one 2025 memo.

[Although some of Epstein's victims accused other influential people, the FBI found not enough evidence to charge them and referred the matters to the states.]

Goldman Sachs' top lawyer Kathy Ruemmler to resign after emails show close ties to Jeffrey Epstein

Up until her resignation, Ruemmler repeatedly tried to distance herself from the emails [written to "Uncle Jeffrey"] and other correspondence and had been defiant that she would not resign from Goldman’s top legal post, which she had held since 2020.

How awful, why are they stepping down? We should be thanking them for getting the stock market so high!

Norway's former PM charged with gross corruption over Epstein links

Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland has been charged with "gross corruption" over his ties with the US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, police have said.

The charge was brought after the Council of Europe lifted Jagland's immunity, which he enjoyed because of his past diplomatic role. He denies criminal liability and is willing to cooperate, his lawyer says.

Økokrim requested the Council revoke his immunity after it launched an investigation earlier this month into allegations of gross corruption made against him between 2011 and 2018.

The so-called Epstein files appear to show instances where the late financier covered the travel expenses to his properties for Jagland and his family.

The Nordic country has seen several public figures drawn into the widening scandal, including Crown Princess Mette-Marit, diplomats Mona Juul and Terje Rød-Larsen, and chief executive of the World Economic Forum (WEF), Borge Brende.

Mette-Marit gave a "profound apology" to Norwegians for her friendship with Epstein, after it emerged they had exchanged messages for three years.

Mona Juul and her husband Terje Rød-Larsen are also being investigated by Norway's Økokrim for "aggravated corruption" following Norwegian media reports, that each of her children would receive $5m (£3.6m) in a will allegedly signed by Epstein days before he died.

The WEF ordered an independent review into Brende - who also served as the Norwegian foreign minister - over his interactions with the paedophile.

Steve Bannon courted Epstein in his efforts to ‘take down’ Pope Francis

Messages sent between the pair in 2019, released in the massive document dump last month, reveal Bannon courted the late financier in his attempts to undermine the former pontiff after leaving the first Trump administration.

Bannon had been highly critical of Francis whom he saw as an opponent to his “sovereigntist” vision, a brand of nationalist populism which swept through Europe in 2018 and 2019. The released documents from the DOJ appear to show that Epstein had been helping Bannon to build his movement.

In his messages with Epstein, Bannon references “In the Closet of the Vatican,” a 2019 book by French journalist Frédéric Martel that lifted a lid on secrecy and hypocrisy at high levels of the church. Martel created a storm with his book by claiming 80% of the clergy working in the Vatican are gay, while exploring how they keep their sexuality secret.

Bannon showed an interest in turning Martel’s book into a film after meeting the author in Paris at a five-star hotel. In the messages, Bannon appears to suggest that Epstein could be the film’s executive producer. “You are now exec producer of ‘ITCOTV’ (In the closet of the Vatican),” Bannon wrote.
