Elon publicaly claimed he had never corresponded with Epstein. that was a lie.

When the documents were released they found several like thie one below. Saying things like "What day/night will be the wildest party on =our island?" [0]

The "our" part is especially interesting as it implies he didnt just visit, but had an ownership stake.

Other emails were found with Epstein making excuses to avoid having Musk visit, and Musks own child publically stated that the emails were authentic and aligned with her memory of the events. [1]

The =s that are scattered throughout the files are characters that have been replaced due to improper parsing. Wherever you see a =, it has taken the place of another character. The best interpretation of the string "=our" is "your".

My searches have not turned up a result showing that Musk "claimed he had never corresponded with Epstein".

Can you source this? If not, can you explain why you did not check it before you posted the inaccurate claim?
