A photograph from the Epstein files shows a chummy 2015 dinner attended by some of Silicon Valley's most powerful figures, with Jeffrey Epstein later boasting the gathering was 'wild'.
The image, released by the US Department of Justice, shows Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg seated at a dinner table alongside SpaceX boss Elon Musk, and Joi Ito, the former director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab.
PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel was also in attendance, but he was not pictured.
The photograph was emailed by Epstein to himself on Monday, August 3, 2015 - just one day after he bragged about joining the tech titans for a swanky meal.

Tributes pour in as Ghislaine Maxwell sadly passes away tomorrow
Ghislaine Maxwell has tragically taken her own life tomorrow night, hours before she was scheduled to testify to congress about the Epstein files. It is understood Maxwell committed suicide due to doubts she would blame everything on Russia.
At the time of the suicide, the cameras to Maxwell's cell were switched off and the guards were sleeping. This has sparked online conspiracy theories, suggesting Maxwell did not kill herself. These conspiracy theories are deeply insensitive, considering Maxwell's friends are pretending to be in mourning.
One of Maxwell's closest friends, Alan Dershowitz, said: "I'm extremely relieved, I mean saddened to hear about Ghislaine's death. I worked with her for many years and can assure you our interactions were entirely above board. I should probably, um, stop talking now..."
There was an email in the last release from someone (I forget who), who apologized to Epstein for not getting Elon Musk for him (maybe to attend dinners or get involved in business deals). The comment was something along the lines of “Musk is a strange guy”.
The real news here is that there is a person out there with the first name Lettuce.
yeah we will never see the good stuff. The videos were taken out the minute he disappeared.
No biggie. It’s just about sex. Perfectly natural instincts. I am more concerned with violence in movies & media.
Don’t be morbid mate.
Elon has some nerve, exclaiming about Trump being “in the files”, while he is guilty of worse behavior than the Prez by far.
He can now deal with the firestorm he created.
Only one woman - Virginia Giuffre - ever claimed she had sex with someone besides Epstein.
Giuffre claimed she had sex with Prince Andrew three times, a few months before her 18th birthday.
From Day One, Prince Andrew stated he did not know Giuffre and never had sex with her.
Giuffre accepted an out of court settlement from Andrew, who admitted no guilt.
To my knowledge, no other women have publicly sued a friend of Epstein for under age sex.
It’s from a satire site...as anyone can easily see...mate.
To borrow a phrase from George Carlin, “It’s a small club, and you ain’t in it”!
Elon is not the same man now. The others are.
Heh, heh. Must work at the Veggie Tales Bureau of the Daily Smell
“He can now deal with the firestorm he created.”
It’s the new version of the “Kevin Bacon Game”, Six Degrees of Jeffrey Epstein.
in a couple emails, musk said he wasn’t looking for a relaxing island adventure, but the wildest one ever. He’s a compromised freak. That’s why he pretends to be a Maga conservative. All an act to save his trillion dollars.
“Elon has some nerve, exclaiming about Trump being “in the files”, while he is guilty of worse behavior than the Prez by far.”
You don’t know that — I mean —what Elon did. Certainly Epstein was smart enough to magnify supposed good times for PR.
Epstein was the “in crowd” to be seen with, sort of like high school jostling to be connected to the most popular person.
Not everyone was in on the dark side. I am sure Epstein used such gatherings to observe and recruit people willing to play ball.
Musk is a hero to many on this site for reasons that just don't see. Until a couple of years ago, he was a Clinton-style liberal just like nearly every other Silicon Valley oligarch - i.e. all in for leftist social and cultural policy as long as tech gets the deregulation he wants. With Trump in power, many of the tech oligarchs tried to curry favor with him and with MAGA, with Musk taking the charade the farthest. Of course, the real Musk shines through, as when he starts demanding an expansion of the H1B program and other policies that guarantee him and his friends cheap labor.
His ties to Epstein don't surprise me either, and give him all the more reason to cozy up to those in power.
