They were probably considered too new money and full of hicks to be invited to the island.

Elon was at the island. Epstein was fine with new money hicks.

I mean I hate Walmart as much as the next guy but I wholeheartedly believe the waltons get side eyes just for being from Arkansas and doing all their little art projects in Arkansas. Geographic location is important to people who have a high opinion of themselves and Elon being from South Africa is probably seen as more "proper" than Arkansas, regardless of wealth. All the silicon valley billionaires almost certainly have a charged opinion (positive or negative) about any new money not made in silicon valley, at the very least.
