Elon Musk subpoenaed in Jeffrey Epstein trial in the U.S. Virgin Islands

In connection with a lawsuit involving JPMorgan Chase & Co  and its potential role in Jeffrey Epstein's activities, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc (TSLA.O), has been subpoenaed by the U.S. Virgin Islands, as stated in a recent court document filed on Monday.

The subpoena was served to Musk on April 28 as part of the ongoing investigation, the court document reveals. The document suggests that Epstein, a convicted sex offender, might have introduced Musk, one of the world's wealthiest individuals, to JPMorgan.

Musk has yet to issue a response to a request for comment.

The U.S. Virgin Islands alleges that JPMorgan overlooked key warning signs related to Epstein's exploitation of women on Little St. James, his privately-owned island in the territory.

JPMorgan has argued that it should not bear responsibility for the relationship between Epstein, who died by suicide in a Manhattan prison cell in 2019 while facing sex trafficking charges, and one of its former high-ranking executives.
