Tesla and X chief Elon Musk pledged to pay the legal bills of any victim of Jeffrey Epstein who comes forward to name others who participated in the dead sex predator’s crime amid ongoing speculation about the extent of his activities and what evidence is still being hidden.
This past Super Bowl Sunday featured a TV spot in which a group of Epstein survivors assail the fact that some three million documents pertaining to the billionaire still have not been released as required by law, declaring, “we all deserve the truth.”
The ad renewed questions about why the survivors themselves have not named who other than Epstein raped them. Defenders say doing so would open themselves up to defamation suits if the government does not release the evidence necessary to corroborate their claims; critics retort that to protect themselves they could file police reports or share the name in closed testimony with members of Congress.
Chiming in on one such argument, Musk offered, “I will pay for the defense of anyone who speaks the truth about this and is sued for doing so.”
