Elon Musk Faces Epstein Email Fallout

Last week the Department of Justice released millions of documents in its Jeffrey Epstein case, revealing at least 1,500 mentions of Elon Musk and emails from 2012–2013. Musk has publicly defended the correspondence while denying wrongdoing, even as the disclosures complicate his image amid SpaceX's planned IPO and a newly announced merger with xAI. Experts say the revelations could introduce disclosure and "distraction" risks for investors and regulatory filings.
