One day, 10 years ago, tech boss Elon Musk asked convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein when he planned to host his 'wildest party' yet. By mid-August 2019, though, Epstein died by suicide in a New York jail cell while awaiting trial for a series of child sex crimes, having previously served time for soliciting a minor for prostitution.

Musk said he had 'declined repeated invitations' from the financier and pushed for the release of the Epstein files.
