Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has been subpoenaed by the U.S. Virgin Islands in connection with a lawsuit alleging that Jeffrey Epstein used JPMorgan Chase accounts to sexually abuse underage girls.
The subpoena, which was issued on April 28, seeks any documents that Musk has that relate to Epstein, JPMorgan Chase, or the alleged sex trafficking. The subpoena also seeks any documents that Musk has that relate to his own financial dealings with Epstein.
Musk has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s alleged crimes. In a statement, he said that he “never met or spoke to Jeffrey Epstein, and I have never been to Little St. James.”
The U.S. Virgin Islands is suing JPMorgan Chase for allegedly enabling and benefiting from Epstein’s sex trafficking of young women on Little St. James, a private island he owned in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The bank has denied knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
The subpoena to Musk is the latest development in the U.S. Virgin Islands’ lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase. The lawsuit has been ongoing for several years, and it has been met with resistance from the bank. JPMorgan Chase has filed several motions to dismiss the lawsuit, and it has also tried to get the case moved to a different court.
The U.S. Virgin Islands is seeking damages from JPMorgan Chase in the amount of $50 million. The lawsuit alleges that the bank knew about Epstein’s sex trafficking activities and did nothing to stop them.
The subpoena to Musk is a significant development in the U.S. Virgin Islands’ lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase. Musk is a high-profile figure, and his involvement in the case could help to bring attention to the allegations against the bank.
It is still too early to say what impact Musk’s subpoena will have on the lawsuit. However, it is clear that the U.S. Virgin Islands is determined to hold JPMorgan Chase accountable for its alleged role in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring.
