Federal prosecutors have subpoenaed tech mogul Elon Musk for records as part of a lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase, court records showed Monday, surrounding the bank’s relationship with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
The government charged in its lawsuit that the bank helped facilitate Epstein’s long history of child sex trafficking, and used Epstein’s relationships with other wealthy individuals to procure new business.
Lawyers from the U.S. Virgin Islands wrote in a motion that “Epstein may have referred or attempted to refer” Musk, the owner of Twitter and chief executive of SpaceX, to JPMorgan as a client.Prosecutors told Judge Jed S. Rakoff of the Southern District of New York that they have been unable to serve Musk the subpoena. They asked Monday for permission to serve Tesla instead as Musk’s registered agent.
Instead, prosecutors hired a private investigative firm to locate Musk and hand-deliver the records, but a courier was turned away upon arrival at Tesla’s Austin headquarters, where Musk is often known to work, according to affidavits filed with the court. The subpoena orders Musk to turn over all records of communications with Epstein and JPMorgan and “all documents reflecting or regarding Epstein’s involvement in human trafficking and/or his procurement of girls or women for commercial sex.”On Twitter late Monday, Musk called the subpoena “idiotic on so many levels,” and said of Epstein, “That cretin never advised me on anything whatsoever.”
