    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.
