Bill Gates Epstein Files: Newly released Epstein files have triggered widespread online discussion after an email screenshot made unverified claims involving Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, once again putting some of the world’s most powerful figures under public scrutiny.
The U.S. Justice Department recently released more than three million documents, including screenshots of alleged self-emails from July 18, 2013, attributed to Jeffrey Epstein. The emails reportedly claimed that Gates had contracted a sexually transmitted disease (STD) from ‘Russian girls’ and requested antibiotics to secretly give to his then-wife, Melinda, according to BBC reports.
The language used in the email is explicit and accusatory. The document release also revisits reports that Epstein threatened to expose Gates’ alleged affair with Russian bridge player Mila Antonova in 2017.

However, it is important to note that the screenshots are unverified, with no independent evidence supporting the claims. A spokesperson for Bill Gates has rejected the claims, calling them ‘absolutely absurd and completely false,’ and stated that they reflect Epstein’s frustration after Gates distanced himself.”
The multiple email exchanges between Jeffrey Epstein and billionaire Elon Musk appear in the newly released files, mostly discussing potential travel plans. In a November 2012 email, Epstein asked Musk how many people would be traveling by helicopter to his island. Musk replied that it would probably be just him and Talulah, and asked which day or night would have the “wildest party” on the island. The documents do not indicate whether the visit actually took place. (Also Read: Instagram is working on new feature to remove yourself from Close Friends: Here’s how to keep your account safe)
