The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that Tesla chief executive officer Elon Musk e-mailed convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein about visiting his infamous island compound. The Globe's Nathan VanderKlippe writes that in a late November, 2012, exchange, Mr. Epstein inquired how many people Mr. Musk would like flown by helicopter to the island he owned -- Little Saint James in the U.S. Virgin Islands. "Probably just Talulah and me," Mr. Musk responded, referencing his partner at the time, actress Talulah Riley. "What day/ night will be the wildest party on =our island?" Officials at Mr. Musk's companies, Tesla and X, declined comment Friday. Mr. Musk has maintained that he repeatedly turned down the disgraced financier's overtures. Records released by the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday contain new details about the late Mr. Epstein's ties to Canada. Despite his criminal conviction in 2008 in Florida of sex crimes against minors, Mr. Epstein made repeated trips to Vancouver, where he attended TED conferences, met with high-profile tech leaders and, on at least one occasion, sought to hide his presence. E-mails show that he stayed in Vancouver hotels including the Fairmont Waterfront in 2014 and 2016.
