Background
Kimbal Musk is a businessman and restaurateur who co-founded The Kitchen Community (TKC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, in 2011 along with Hugo Matheson, co-owner of The Kitchen restaurant. The Kitchen Community focused on building and supporting Learning Gardens in schools. By the time of the documents in evidence, TKC had built over 200 Learning Gardens (efta-02337098). Kimbal Musk was based in Boulder, Colorado, and was actively involved in food, nutrition, and community garden initiatives in cities including Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York.
Kimbal Musk is the brother of Elon Musk, the technology entrepreneur. The documents show that both brothers had interactions with Jeffrey Epstein during the same period in late 2012 and into 2013, and their connections to Epstein overlapped through mutual contacts including Boris Nikolic and Nicholas J. Pritzker.
Epstein Connection

This relationship included direct email correspondence, invitations to social events, scheduled lunches at Epstein's residence, and Epstein being included on Kimbal Musk's nonprofit mailing lists. Epstein was involved in coordinating a 'Musk party' in September 2012, and Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff scheduled at least one lunch between Epstein and Kimbal Musk at Epstein's house in early October 2012.
