Elon Musk subpoenaed by US Virgin Islands in JPMorgan Chase-Jeffrey Epstein lawsuit – Fox Business

'The Evening Edit' panelists Khadeeja Safdar and David Benoit discuss their Wall Street Journal story that reveals the names of those on Jeffrey Epstein's private calendar.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is facing a subpoena from the U.S. Virgin Islands in relation to its lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase, who it wants to hold liable for sex trafficking acts committed by Jeffrey Epstein.

The U.S. Virgin Islands government isn't able to find Musk in order to serve him with the subpoena, and is asking a federal judge to serve it on Tesla Inc. instead.

According to a court filing, the subpoena was issued on April 28.

Lawyers for the island wrote that an investigative firm was contracted to find possible addresses for Musk and also reached out to a lawyer for Musk, but hasn't received a response.
