    Look at the dates. This was AFTER Epstein was convicted as a sex offender and once everyone was distancing themselves.

    Musk heard that he had a pedo Island from the news and he wanted to go.

      He was mad he wasn’t powerful enough, nor rich enough to be invited to quite possibly the largest honey pot ring ever.

      That’s the real reason the files are not out yet. The rich and powerful are disgusting individuals.

    The way he asked was super cringy too. Like someone who has never been invited to an event before.

        As I said before.

        Musky is a real example of Kid’s in the Hall’s character, He’s Hip, He’s Cool, He’s 45.

        From Wikipedia:

        McCulloch played a middle-aged man who would do odd things to “keep his cool” despite being middle-aged. In one sketch he interviews a man for a job, first asking if the man wants to smoke a joint.

        Musky is an absolute total loser.

        that screenshot is almost[1] definitely fake; unlike the ones in the dailybeast article, phrases from it do not find anything in the search.


        1. i say only almost because there have been some documents removed from previous batches after they were released, but there are no credible reports about the one in your comment ↩︎

          Great work I didn’t have time to verify as I was working all day but this is the answer and so it seems, yes it’s fake.

          I’d take it down although many commented on it and honestly it doesn’t change the fact that Elon was in the files, referenced by the FBI, and where other entries show way worse conduct than some poorly written words.

          Again thanks for the heads up.

      If I could get just one message to Elon, that I know he would recieve:

      No matter how much money you have, no matter how hard you try, no matter how many people you surround yourself with, you are a fucking loser. we all think that. The people that don’t act like it, they think it too, but they want your money. But we all think it you creep.

        Society suffers because some South African rich kid can’t handle the fact that he’s a humongous dork. It’s absolutely wild.

          And being a dork isn’t even the problem. I’m a big dork. I like video games and computer nerd stuff. The problem is that incel culture overlaps heavily with nerd culture. Dorks with poor social skills think that it empowers them while it actually just exacerbates and reinforces their insecurities, and stops their emotional development.

          His concept of “cool” never got past that 4chan edgelord phase, and he doesn’t even realize how pathetically embarrassing it is.

            This is so real. Dude lives perpetually in 2010 when most people thought he was Tony Stark, which he makes obvious today with his tantrums when anyone calls him out for what he truly is.

            The thing that truly makes me sick about him is how much his buffoonery aids as a cloak to all the other billionaires we don’t know of and don’t talk about.

    You just know that even in a party full of pedos, they’d all be like, “that guy is so weird and cringe. It’s embarrassing to be here with him.” As they all pat each other in the back and celebrate being pedos!

    This one is fake. Search FTW on the justice dept Epstein site. Its not one of the few occurrences of the word there. Actually saw someone last night post this and then figure out it was fake on their own on bluesky after an hour or so. So we’re several hours behind them in fact checking apparently.

      This one is fake

      i don’t think so?

      Its not one of the few occurrences of the word there

      which word? i checked a couple and they’re there. eg, here is Musk planning a visit in January 2014.

      daily beast is posting misinfo

      it is irritating that they only provided a source link for one of the many mails they quote and have screenshots of, but i checked a few of the others and they do come up in the search.

        I wasnt sure if I’d made a mistake so I went to https://www.justice.gov/epstein and you can keyword search, just put “FTW” and theres 17 results, none of which are the purported linked Musk email. Sorry, hes still in there plenty otherwise though.

          The “girls FTW” mail in that bluesky post is indeed fake, but the daily beast article linked by this post not include that one.

    it’s pretty clear at this point that the Epstein files are leverage that the president has over a lot of people (weirdly including himself), which kind of also explains why they haven’t come out

      “the president” is an odd way of spelling “Israel”, but not entirely incorrect actually
