Days after hundreds of new images were released as part of the Epstein Files, an image of both Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has emerged, drawing the two tech moguls into fresh controversy. According to reports, the image has been revealed as one of the images from the Epstein Files, showing Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk having an intimate dinner – possibly with Jeffrey Epstein.
While Jeffrey Epstein does not appear in the photo of the dinner, reports suggest that he may have been the one who captured it. There is also no indication that he spoke to either of the two businessmen.
Jeffrey Epstein emailed himself the picture in August 2015. In an email later that month, the disgraced financier mentioned that he “had dinner with zuckerburg, mu=k, thiel hoffman, wild.” He also mentioned that LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and Palantir chairman Peter Thiel also attended the dinner. They were not visible in the picture.
According to a 2019 Vanity Fair report, Reid Hoffman hosted a dinner attended by Musk, Zuckerberg, and Epstein. A Meta representative later said that the Meta boss had met with Jeffrey Epstein but “once casually” and “had no further communication with Epstein after the dinner.”
In response to Vanity Fair in 2019, Elon Musk said that “Epstein is clearly a creep and Zuckerberg is not my friend.
Meanwhile, ties between Britain’s former ambassador to Washington and Jeffrey Epstein have turned into a full-blown crisis for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who is fighting to keep his job. However, he promised to fight for it.
Some lawmakers from Keir Starmer’s centre-left party have called on him to resign over a ruling to appoint Peter Mandelson to a top diplomatic post in 2024 despite his links to a convicted sex offender.
Scottish Labor leader Anas Sarwar joined the calls on Monday, saying “there have been too many mistakes” and “the leadership in Downing Street needs to change”.
Chief of Staff Starmer and his director of communications also finished in quick succession. But Starmer insisted he would not resign. “Every fight I’ve ever been in I’ve won,” he told Labor at a meeting in parliament. I am not prepared to abandon my mandate and my responsibility to my country,” Starmer told lawmakers.
