"Musk spent much of Saturday morning replying to users on social media defending him."

Musk also previously stated in 2020 that Epstein had “never toured” one of his SpaceX facilities. Among the newly released files is an email exchange that appears to contradict that statement.

“It appears Elon Musk personally invited Jeffrey Epstein to visit him at SpaceX in [2013],” reads a social media post on X from the account for the “TrueAnon” podcast, which has more than 40,000 paid subscribers on the crowd-funding platform Patreon.

In response to the revelations, Musk spent much of Saturday morning replying to users on social media defending him.

“Correct,” Musk wrote in response to a social media post that labeled attacks on Musk over his relationship with Epstein as “completely absurd.” “Exactly,” he wrote in response to another social media post that credited Musk as being the “primary reason” that the Epstein files had been released at all.

2. My hope is that the handful of things establishing that Musk continued to be friends with Epstein released today

Means that the DoJ actually has a lot more on his predatory ass they could release if they wanted to.

IOW a shot from Trump across Musk's bow telling him to stay in line (and keep sending 10's of millions) "Otherwise we'll really fuck with you with the rest of what we have".

Which means perhaps when Democrats are back in power, we'll have the goods to lock him (and Trump) the fuck up

Although, the Tesla board firing him now would be a pretty satisfying precursor to that.

3. There's a part of me...a MINISCULE part...that has a hard time applauding another Trump victim, even if it's Musk.

But what you said:

"IOW a shot from Trump across Musk's bow telling him to stay in line (and keep sending 10's of millions) "Otherwise we'll really fuck with you with the rest of what we have""...



YIKES, that is SO "on brand" for Trump that it makes perfect sense.

And because MUSK is MUSK, the LARGER part of me WILL applaud it. It ANY of that's true...and you KNOW Musk is looking over his shoulder at Trump...I see it as KARMA, not as "Oh. Poor Elon."

Sure...keep fucking using it and letting them collect all your personal data like a proctologist with poor depth perception.

Tell me how you just have to keep using the South African Nazis, or Jeff Bozos, or Fuckerbergs platforms and companies, because....reasons...

My parents rationed meat to beat the fucking Nazis....we can't even put down our fucking phones, or talk to each other iin person, or go to a fucking local store.

All part of an international child sex trafficking ring that included blackmail, murder, money laundering,
beauty pageants, modeling try outs, drugs, and bank fraud.

But really how about Hillary’s emails ?

7. Musk is a pervert, we didn't need the files to know that

Several women in his life have pointed out his rather sick qualities. If he's a straight up pedo? It don't matter. He respects women about as much as he respects any minority. He's a real ugly human inside and out. And he's also a rather huge fake. He's not super smart. But he is a very good conman.
