September 24, 2012: Very enjoyable conversation'
The earliest email between Musk and Epstein in the files dates to late 2012, when Musk writes that they had a "very enjoyable conversation!"

Soon after, Epstein writes to Musk asking for help electrifying his Caribbean island or his New Mexico ranch with solar power, since Musk was then chairman of SolarCity.
November 24, 2012: heli to island'
The two discussed a possible meetup on Epstein's island in the Caribbean over Christmas. It is unclear if Epstein invited Musk or if Musk requested a visit. During the exchange, Epstein asks Musk how many people would "heli to island," likely meaning helicopter.
"Probably just Talulah and me," Musk said, referring to his then-wife Talulah Riley. "What day/night will be the wildest party on =our island?"
December 25, 2012: Do you have any parties planned?'
On Christmas Day 2012, at 6am, Musk sent Epstein an email asking if he had "any parties planned?"
He continued, "I've been working to the edge of sanity this year and so, once my kids head home after Christmas, I really want to hit the party scene in St Barts or elsewhere and let loose. The invitation is much appreciated, but a peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I'm looking for."
"Understood , I will see you on st Barth, the ratio on my island might make Talilah uncomfortable," Epstein responded.
"Ratio is not a problem for Talulah," Musk said.
On January 2, 2013, Musk seemingly cancelled the visit, telling Epstein that "Logistics won't work this time around."
February 26, 2013: thanks for the tour'
Epstein thanks Musk for a tour of SpaceX. Musk has said previously that Epstein didn't tour SpaceX, writing on July 4, 2020: "To the best our knowledge, he never toured SpaceX. Don't know where that comes from."
Yet, calendar invites in February 2013 show that Epstein was scheduled to have lunch with Musk while visiting the company's headquarters.
On February 26, Epstein sent Musk an email, "thanks for the tour," adding that he "would have had fun at xmas."
In his response, Musk writes: "I see," with an accompanying smiley face.
December, 14 2013: Is there a good time to visit?'
Musk and Epstein seemed to try one more time to arrange a visit to the island, with Musk asking in December 2013, "Is there a good time to visit?"
"I will send heli for you," Epstein said.. Musk replied: "Thanks."
After a series of back-and-forth emails on scheduling, Epstein emailed to cancel:
"Bad news- Unfortunately , my schedule will keep me in New York," he told Musk on Dec. 30, 2013. "I was really looking forward to finally spending some time together with just fun as the agenda. so i am very disappointed. Hopefully we can schedule another time in the near future."
Musk responded: "No problem."

24. Absolutely. And sometimes you gotta let them in there and fight it out.
