That was the instruction Boris Nikolic sent Jeffrey Epstein before Kimbal Musk sat down for lunch at Epstein's Manhattan penthouse in October 2012. Not a dinner party seating arrangement. A convicted sex offender's associate is telling him to get a woman ready for Elon Musk's younger brother.
It sits inside the latest DOJ files released on 30 January under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. More than three million pages have been made public. Kimbal Musk's name appears in over 300 of them,according to the Boulder Reporting Lab.
The emails make that explanation hard to swallow.
After that lunch, Musk emailed them both directly: 'Great to hang out today. Jeffrey and Boris, many thanks for connecting me with Jennifer. I believe you both played a role.' Nobody sends that through a mailing list.
Nikolic's reply keeps getting quoted. 'Kimbal - just fyi - you better be nice to [her]. Jeffrey goes crazy when someone mistreats his girls/friends. So better be very nice to her.' Musk wrote back: 'Message received wide and clear. Seriously, I am very happy with my time so far with [her]. She's great.'
Nikolic was not some random contact. He was later named a backup executor in Epstein's will.
But the most uncomfortable thread concerns the woman at the centre of it. Throughout the roughly six-month relationship, she forwarded Musk's personal messages to Epstein and asked how to respond,according to the Guardian.
Nothing suggests Musk knew. Epstein received her travel schedule on 26 October 2012 with 'Kimbal in NYC' mentioned five times. A calendar entry from the same period read 'kimba musk, birthday four seasons.'
In January 2013, Epstein emailed Musk: 'You are invited to the island for a couple of days, come relax.' That island was Little St. James, where multiple women say they were sexually abused.
Musk said no. Sort of. 'That would be nice,' he replied. 'I'm still dealing with the nuclear explosion that is my life, but I'm hopeful that things are settling down a bit. Maybe in the spring.'
