Democrats on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform are working overtime to do whatever they can to keep the Epstein situation open and connect as many Trump-aligned people to the disgraced, deceased financier as possible.
The latest to be named by the committee was Elon Musk, who didn't take kindly to the Sky News article that noted Musk's name was mentioned in the newly released papers by Democrats on the committee.
According to the Daily Mail, Musk hit back quick and hard, writing on his X account, "Shame on Sky News for this utterly misleading headline."
Musk went on to explain that he had, in fact, been invited to Epstein's mysterious island, but refused the invitation, unlike many other power brokers and high-profile people at the time.
Musk immediately responded to the article, denying that he had any connection to Epstein or his island, unlike Prince Andrew, who had actually gone there.
Shame on Sky News for this utterly misleading headline. Anyone pushing this false narrative deserves complete contempt," Musk wrote.
He added, "Epstein tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED, yet they name me even before Prince Andrew, who did visit."

The documents released dropped Musk's name, but it was clear that he wasn't involved, as the report noted that Epstein or his secretary had never confirmed Musk was going to take the offer.
The Daily Mail noted:
The documents, which included phone messages, flight logs, financial ledgers, and Epstein's daily schedule, including mention figures such as Musk, billionaire Peter Thiel, Trump ally Steve Bannon, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and Prince Andrew.
One of the documents revealed Epstein's schedule for the first week of December 2014 with a reminder that read: 'Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?)'.
Musk's supporters were not happy with the way the story was reported.
"Total garbage headline. Elon said no to Epstein, but Sky News makes it sound like he was involved. Meanwhile, Prince Andrew actually went — but somehow Elon’s name comes first? Pure smear job," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "You and Trump are friends again, so of course these headlines are coming back. Hilarious how it all works."\
It'll be interesting to see what the left and their media allies try next.
