(2025-07-25) We Mapped Jeffrey Epsteins Social Network Heres What We Found

Dave Troy: We mapped Jeffrey Epstein's social network. Here's what we found. ...we performed such an analysis, focusing on five characters central to the current controversy: Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Rupert Murdoch. We included Epstein's entire, unredacted “black book,” as well as the flight logs for his private jet, the Lolita Express.

Drawing from a range of sources, we considered 908 potentially related people and organizations, with 2,194 connections between them. After reviewing for accuracy and relevance, we focused on 209 entities (with 642 relationships) as most pertinent.

Importantly, inclusion in our study does not imply guilt — indeed we have included a range of people relevant to the current power struggle that ranges from tech executives with no ties to Epstein, to victims. We aimed to reveal the networks currently in conflict, while also tempering speculation about the scope and nature of Epstein's activities.

As expected, Epstein's long association with Donald Trump resulted in significant social and business overlap between their networks

Trump appears to have more confirmed affiliations with Israeli-connected interests than Epstein

Secondly, Epstein's network is (unsurprisingly) more focused on science, celebrity, and academia than Trump's.

Beyond Epstein's alleged prurient sexual activities for blackmail purposes is his interest in eugenics. As The New York Times reported in 2019, Epstein “hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his vast New Mexico ranch.”

Elon Musk also has material ties to Epstein's network, though they are largely indirect and through shared relationships in the worlds of technology. Epstein notoriously set Kimbal Musk, Elon's brother, up on a date with a woman in an effort to get closer to Musk.

but we found no direct overlap between Musk and Epstein's networks pertaining to shared sexual activity.

With Epstein already dead, Musk and Vice President J.D. Vance, who is aligned with his network, have the most to gain by undermining Trump, and Murdoch appears to be ready to help him. James Murdoch, son of Rupert Murdoch, notably sits on the board of Tesla, which Musk controls with his brother Kimbal and other close associates.

Musk is also central to the so-called “PayPal Mafia,” the network of his old colleagues from that company that includes Peter Thiel and Reid Hoffman. But the even more extreme “Network State” movement led by Balaji Srinavasan and Neoreactionary blogger Curtis Yarvin, and endorsed by Andreessen-Horowitz cofounder Marc Andreessen is also embedded with the same network.

Encapsulating the threat posed to Trump by the Musk and Andreessen networks, a post on X from Andreessen-Horowitz yesterday read, “Trump was the bridge. What comes next is the pure form... future politicians won’t adapt to the internet. They’ll emerge from it. ‘At some point, I think they’ll completely disconnect from legacy media and just run a completely internet play.’ A new class of leaders, fluent in the feed, untethered from legacy press.”

A clear network of victims appears in our analysis, attached primarily to Maxwell and Epstein

However, beyond Epstein and his well-documented insatiable appetite for sexual abuse and the accusations of victims, no clear network of perpetrators has been documented.

This may be because there are relatively few to document, or it may be that the government's substantial trove of evidence contains a list of accomplices to Epstein's crimes

Many are concerned that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who has also served as a personal attorney to Donald Trump, is seeking testimony from Ghislaine Maxwell in order to implicate prominent Bill Clinton, or other figures connected to the Democratic Party.

We could find no additional network ties that would suggest Bill Clinton (or anyone else) would make a particularly vulnerable target for Maxwell.

Beyond the key clusters around Musk, Trump, Epstein, and Maxwell, we observe that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick shares ties to both the Musk and Trump networks; Lutnick's sister Edie was connected to Ghislaine Maxwell's oceanic nonprofit Terramar as a “founding citizen,” but it's not clear this represents more than a casual social endorsement.

We also note the presence of networks connected to Google (Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Demis Hassabis) and Musk's PayPal network, as well as Satya Nadella and Bill Gates (Microsoft). Their position unsurprisingly suggests they are likely to be far more aligned with the Musk-Andreessen axis than Trump.

Rupert Murdoch also shared various linkages with Robert Maxwell and Trump, mostly as magnates of the same period, but largely as rivals

most of what we know about the Epstein affair has come from journalists who have pursued the case doggedly for decades

An investigation by Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) recently found $1.5 billion in over 4,700 transactions connected to Epstein's bank accounts, and we deserve answers about what these were for, and why this information was withheld for so long.

However, the public may wish to temper expectations about unmasking an earth-shattering blackmail scandal implicating a wide network of prominent perpetrators. All of the evidence available at this time suggests a relatively compact conspiracy combining money laundering, sexual crimes, and a fascination with eugenics — in roughly that order.
