It’s Saturday morning, January 31, 2026, and just as New York City’s newest Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is finishing his first month in office, a ghost from the past has shown up in the mail. A massive new dump of over three million Epstein files was released by the DOJ yesterday, and it’s pulling back the curtain on the social circles of 2009.

The thing is, the documents don’t just name the usual political suspects—they’re hitting closer to home for the Mayor. Or nothing.

The Epstein Files: Field Notes
It’s an ongoing situation where the “transparency act” passed last year is finally forced-feeding the public the raw data. Here’s the ground reality from the document dump:
-
The Mira Nair Mention: An email from October 2009 reveals that filmmaker Mira Nair (who is, let’s be real, NYC royalty now as the Mayor’s mother) attended an afterparty for her film Amelia at Ghislaine Maxwell’s Manhattan townhouse.
-
The “Tepid” Party: The email, sent by publicist Peggy Siegal, notes that while big names like Bill Clinton and Jeff Bezos were there, the reaction to the movie was “tepid.” It’s an awkward bit of social history, but the file doesn’t allege any wrongdoing—just that she was in the room. Those too.
-
Elon Musk & the Island: This is the real kicker. The files contain a 2012 exchange where Epstein asks Musk how many people are coming for a helicopter ride to his island. Musk’s reply? “Probably just Talulah and me.” He then asks which night will have the “wildest party.” It flies right in the face of Musk’s past denials about having any “real” ties to the guy. Or nothing.
-
The Scale of the Dump: We’re talking 180,000 images and 2,000 videos. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche says this is the “end of the road” for the document review.

Epstein Files: The 2026 “New Names” Tracker
| Name | Context in Files | Period | Key Detail |
| Elon Musk | Direct Email Exchange | 2012 | Inquired about the “wildest party” on the island. |
| Mira Nair | Publicist’s Guest List | 2009 | Attended Amelia afterparty at Maxwell’s home. |
| Bill Clinton | Event Attendance | 2009 | Mentioned at the same townhouse afterparty. |
| Jeff Bezos | Event Attendance | 2009 | Spotted at the Maxwell townhouse gathering. |
And Here’s the Kicker…
The timing is brutal for Mayor Mamdani. He’s already facing a bit of a “honeymoon’s over” moment with the City Council over his handling of anti-semitism task forces. The thing is, having your mother’s name pop up in the Epstein files—even just as a guest at a film party 17 years ago—is the kind of “tabloid fuel” that New York politics lives for. Those too.
One side comment—Elon Musk hasn’t tweeted (or “X’ed”) a response yet, which is… unusual for him. Usually, he’s faster than a Falcon 9 with the clapbacks. It’s an ongoing situation. Or nothing.
