In the latest wave of the Epstein files, NFL star Russell Wilson is named, and he jumped to set the record straight.
Wilson is named in 2019 email correspondence between Larry Visoki, Epstein’s longtime pilot, and the now-deceased financier. Visoki wrote that Wilson had been nudging a plane broker named Gary to purchase one of Epstein’s planes but was concerned with how purchasing one would look before he signed a new contract with the Seahawks.
Epstein responded that Wilson could either purchase the plane for $2.7 million or purchase an “option to buy” for $500,000.
Wilson caught wind of his name going viral in the files pertaining to the convicted sex offender and trafficker and took to X to shut it down.
“NOPE!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT! Not TODAY satan!” Wilson wrote.

“Some Random plane broker tried to sell me a plane. I had no idea whose plane and never bought the plane. Never talked nor Never met the man.”

One of the frequent names in the latest wave of Epstein files is X CEO Elon Musk. Although Musk has attempted to deny any involvement with Epstein, multiple emails show him arranging visits to his island.
In one instance of correspondence from 2013, Musk told Epstein that he would be near the island, and told him that it would be “a good time to visit” over the holidays. Musk reportedly later told Epstein that he was “disappointed” he couldn’t visit because he “was really looking forward to spending some time together with just fun as the agenda.”
Musk previously claimed he “refused” to visit the island. One of the emails, however, show that Epstein thanked Musk “for the tour,” assumedly referring to SpaceX.
