Comedian Nicole Arbour has stirred fresh debate online after questioning why survivors in the Jeffrey Epstein case have not publicly identified powerful figures allegedly linked to the disgraced financier.
In a post on X, Arbour wrote, “I don’t understand why the Epstein victims still won’t name names.”
Her remark was amplified by Elon Musk, who reposted it and offered his own explanation. “Most of the child victims were turned into traffickers themselves by Epstein after age 18,” Musk wrote. “By making them commit crime with him, Epstein ensured their silence more than any NDA possibly could. They should be offered amnesties in order to testify.”
Musk’s comments quickly drew reactions across the platform, with users debating both the legal implications of offering amnesty and the broader question of how coercion and abuse can entrap victims long after the initial crimes.

The comments started pouring in. One of the users wrote, “It was shocking to read the number of women recruiting girls for Epstein. Shocking. It’s all in the files. They were abused. Then they were groomed. Epstein picked the most vulnerable girls. The poor. The ones from broke homes. The runaways. I pray for God’s salvation for all affected by what will go down as one of the biggest cover-ups in American history.”
“Western system is done!” another user wrote. “Hilarious this dude acts like an advocate now that we all saw he begged to go to the island. Don’t fall for it,” one of the other users wrote it.
Newly released Epstein-related emails show that he was in touch with several well-known business figures, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
One of the messages now in the public domain is dated November 2012. In it, Epstein emailed Musk with what appears to be a logistical query: “How many people will you be for the heli to island,” Epstein wrote.

The email does not allege any illegal conduct by Musk or others referenced in the correspondence. It references attendance and travel arrangements, and, as with many names that appear in the broader tranche of Epstein documents, inclusion in the records signals some form of contact or social interaction, not proof of wrongdoing.
Epstein died in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Since then, court filings and investigative reports have continued to shed light on his network of associates, keeping questions of accountability alive in the public sphere.
The renewed attention to these emails highlights how the Epstein case continues to re-emerge in public debate, particularly on social media platforms where prominent voices can quickly amplify developments.
