Sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell asked Elon Musk to 'destroy the internet'

Sleazy socialite-turned-sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell begged tech billionaire Elon Musk to “destroy the internet” to erase her connection to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Former Vanity Fair writer Vicky Ward — whose 2002 portrait of Epstein was heavily redacted — said Maxwell and Musk met at the glossy mag’s 2014 Oscar party.

A photo of Maxwell and Musk emerged from that event.

The Tesla founder has denied knowing the convicted sex trafficker, saying only that she was “photo bombing” him at the party.

Now, The New York Times says Maxwell cornered Musk at the bash and asked point blank: “(Is there) a way to remove oneself from the internet.”

Maxwell, 60, currently caged in a federal prison in Florida where she’s serving a 20-year sentence, then encouraged the tech titan to “destroy the internet.”

Aside from her brazen self-interest in being removed from the web, Maxwell also reportedly asked Musk why alien lifeforms had resisted contact with Earth.

He tweeted when the photo emerged: “She photobombed me at a Vanity Fair Oscar party. Was there with Tallulah Riley. Don’t know Ghislaine at all. Why do you think it should be a bigger story?”

For years, Maxwell — the spoiled daughter of disgraced British publishing baron Robert Maxwell — was the sexual playmate, muse and manager for Epstein’s far-flung sex-trafficking endeavours.

Ward had been onto Epstein and Maxwell as far back as 2002, interviewing two sisters who were victims of the fiendish financier. But the sex assault allegations were dropped from the story.

“Separately, each told me that Epstein had sexually abused both of them, Annie (Farmer) when she was just 15. I believed them and I wanted to publish their story, but to my dismay, the sisters’ allegations did not make into my Vanity Fair article,” Ward wrote in the Daily Mail in 2021.

Before the story was to be edited, Jeffrey Epstein appeared in the magazine’s offices.

Ward bitterly noted: “It is, to say the least, highly unusual for the subject of an investigative magazine article to appear in the offices of the outlet profiling them — and perhaps especially in the editor’s office.”

Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.

Maxwell was arrested the following year and in December 2021 was convicted of sex trafficking and sentenced in June to 20 years in federal prison.
