All the tech moguls who have been connected to Jeffrey Epstein, the elite wealth manager who died in jail while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges

New York Times columnist James B. Stewart went to Epstein about a rumor that Musk had asked Epstein to compile a list of potential candidates to become Tesla's new chairman. Musk had stepped down from the position himself in September 2018 in the wake of his infamous "funding secured" tweet, which led to an SEC lawsuit.

"It is incorrect to say that Epstein ever advised Elon or Tesla on anything," a spokesperson for Musk told Business Insider on Monday.

Musk was also photographed with Epstein's alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, at the 2014 Vanity Fair Oscars Party in West Hollywood.

Musk's spokesperson told Business Insider that Musk wasn't posing with Maxwell, she simply "inserted herself behind him in a photo he was posing for without his knowledge."

The Daily Mail reported that Jeffrey Epstein's alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, was living in the home of Scott Borgerson, the CEO of tech company CargoMetrics.

But Borgerson told Business Insider that Maxwell is a "former friend," and that she is not currently living in his house.

"Ghislaine Maxwell is not at my home and I don't know where she is," Borgerson told Business Insider.

MIT called its late Professor Marvin Minsky the "father of artificial intelligence." He was one of the MIT Media Lab's founding members.

According to a recently unsealed deposition published by The Verge, one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims testified that she had been forced to have sex with Minsky at Epstein's compound in the US Virgin Islands.

Minsky died in 2016. According to The Verge, while Minsky was known to be a part of Epstein's circle, these accusations are the first that tie Minsky to Epstein's sex trafficking network.
