Epic!

Communications from November 2012.

For context Epstein entered a guilty plea with Florida prosecutors in June 2008. To one count of solicitation of prostitution and one count of procuring a minor for prostitution.

I don't think Elon is in any sort of legal jeopardy. But the boards of the companies he works for have certain legal and ethical obligations. Leon Black, for example, was forced out as Apollo's CEO. However, his entanglements with Epstein were far deeper.

To be clear. I don’t there is anything in the Epstein files that would bear the standard of proof to convict someone legally.

But there fate in the court of public opinion should be sealed

His activities on twitter the past 48 hours have been quite interesting. While each case is different and should be assessed on its merits (or demerits), I think the institutional sanctions against Larry Summers might be an appropriate template for similarly implicated individuals. Sergey Brin is another very big fish who was happy to engage in social networking with Epstein in the years after his guilty plea.

On December 2, 2025, the American Economic Association (AEA)—a leading professional body for economists—imposed a lifetime ban on Summers, prohibiting him from attending, speaking at, or otherwise participating in AEA events, publications, or activities. The AEA cited the "reputational harm" to the organization from his "close ties" to Epstein, emphasizing ethical standards for members. This was not tied to any legal violation but to maintaining the group's integrity amid public scrutiny.

OpenAI board: Summers resigned from the board of directors on November 19, 2025. He had joined in late 2023. OpenAI accepted the resignation, stating they respected his decision and appreciated his contributions.

Harvard University roles: He went on leave from teaching responsibilities (discontinuing classes for the remainder of the semester) and stepped down as director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at the Harvard Kennedy School. Harvard launched an investigation into his ties to Epstein (and others named in the files) to evaluate potential further actions. He remains a tenured professor but is not actively teaching.

Santander international advisory board: He resigned from this role (where he served as chair) on or around November 19, 2025.

  • Center for American Progress (senior fellow since 2012) — ended his fellowship.
  • Yale Budget Lab advisory group — withdrew.
  • Hamilton Project (Brookings Institution economics policy arm) — stepped away.
  • Center for Global Development (board chair) — stepped down.
  • Peterson Institute for International Economics — stepped away from association.
  • Media/contributor roles: The New York Times did not renew his one-year opinion contributor contract (started January 2025); he ended his paid columnist role at Bloomberg News.
 
It should be noted that in 2021 Gates resigned from the boards of Microsoft and Berkshire Hathaway when some of this information about his ties to Epstein came out.

I should correct that. It does not appear that Brin associated with Epstein after 2008. Before that he spent a LOT of time with Epstein. That is also the case with respect to Clinton and Trump.
