Elon Musk and Prince Andrew have been named in the latest mass “data dump” of the Epstein files.
Mr Musk, the world’s richest man, was invited to Jeffrey Epstein’s island, Little St James, according to the freshly-released documents.
He is listed as a potential visitor to the private island in December 2014, six years after Epstein was first convicted for soliciting a minor for prostitution.
However, Mr Musk’s inclusion in the files – turned over to the House Oversight Committee by the Jeffrey Epstein Estate – comes with a caveat.

A page from the paedophile’s daily schedule reads “Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec 6 (is this still happening?)”.
The Tesla tycoon has the past confessed to visiting Epstein’s New York City home.
“Several years ago, I was at his house in Manhattan for about 30 minutes in the middle of the afternoon with [ex-wife] Talulah [Riley], as she was curious about meeting this strange person for a novel she was writing,” he told Vanity Fair in 2019.
“We did not see anything inappropriate at all, apart from weird art. He tried repeatedly to get me to visit his island. I declined.”
While in 2012, Epstein is said to have boasted of the SpaceX magnate at the TED conference that year in California.
Elsewhere, flight logs name Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell among those who boarded a plane from New Jersey to Florida in May 2000.

GETTYBuckingham Palace’s website said that on May 11, 2000, Andrew had flown to New York to attend a reception for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
The Duke of York has in the past emphatically denied any wrongdoing.
The latest batch of files also include an entry referring to 2017 plans for lunch with Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir, which enjoys a a £330million-valued software contract with the NHS.
The files also mention tentative plans for a “breakfast party” with Microsoft founder Bill Gates in December 2014.
Mr Gates has previously admitted that meeting Epstein had been a “mistake”.
There is also an entry referring to a planned breakfast with top Trump ally Steve Bannon for February 17, 2019.
Earlier this year, Mr Musk had raised eyebrows after declaring: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”
He added: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”
That appeared to have marked the high point in a feud between the pair – and broke out mere minutes after President Trump suggested he might move to terminate Mr Musk’s US Government contracts.
A few days later, the X owner removed the posts in what appeared to be an attempt to mend their relationship.

The pair spoke and shook hands before Mr Musk left his seat.
Later, the President revealed: “Well, Elon came over and said hello.
“I thought it was nice that he came over. Had a little conversation. We had a good relationship, but it was nice that he came over.”
