alt Hacker NewsMy searches have not turned up a result showing that Musk "claimed he had never corresponded with Epstein".
Can you source this? If not, can you explain why you did not check it before you posted the inaccurate claim?

At minimum Musk repeatedly claimed that Epstein was the one reaching out trying to get Musk to visit his island, when in reality Musk was the one initiating and asking which nights would be the wildest parties. And after making plans to visit with his then-wife, when Epstein warned him that the ratio of women-to-men might upset Musk’s wife, Musk told Epstein it wouldn’t be a problem.

Musk has a long history of accusations (see the “I’ll buy you a horse” SpaceX lawsuit) as well as having fathered numerous children with women ~25 years younger than himself so not sure why you’d want to die on this particular hill.
I misremembered. Mea culpa.
He did NOT claim never to have corresponded with Epstein. Instead he claimed that Epstein asked him to go the island and he refused. The files show the opposite to be true.
Still an absolutely enormous lie of the sort you would only tell if guilty.
Here it is in his own words. See above for one of several examples in the files illustrating how very untrue it is.
