      There are few times when you can justifiably go after a person because of something a relation did. As much as I hate Elon, he’s not culpable for whatever his brother has or hasn’t done, unless he participated somehow.

      Let’s not stoop.

        Elon is a known horndog and sex pest. I think it’s less “he’s responsible” and more “he’s just as mixed up in the Lolita Express gang as any of these assholes”.

        Incidentally, Gislaine Maxwell was at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding. I don’t think that means Chelsea is a rapist. But I do think Bill is, and this kind of close relationship further illustrates the circle all these people ran in.

          Unless you know something I don’t, Monica was consenting the entire time.

          And don’t say “he used his position of power to force her”. She said in multiple interviews that she enjoyed it and felt excited. The only time she started to feel negative feelings is whdn Linda Tripp got involved and betrayed her.

          These are Monicas own words. It wasn’t rape.

            The differences in power between them was great enough that even if it wasn’t rape it was very unethical.

              Oh, sure. No arguement from me there. I just hate it when people diminish what words mean.

              Unethical? Sure.

              It was also unethical when Jerry Seinfeld at age 37 dated a 17 year old during the height of Seinfeld.

              Also not rape. Nor illegal. Both of which I’ve heard various people claim.

              It also deletes words like “awful” and “predatory” from conversations. Despite being objectively true, I never hear people say those words about Clinton, or Seinfeld, or any of the other similar situations.

              And on a personal note, I don’t believe Micheal Jackson did anything wrong with kids. As in, I don’t think any events actually took place. Only three people were ever said to be victims. Two of them were later proven to be parents looking for a payday. And the third was Macully Culken. And he’s directly said over multiple decades, both as a kid, and later as an adult, that MJ never did anything wrong or inappropriate.

              So I think Micheal Jackson had to live his whole adult life being falsely accused of being a pedophile and a rapist when he never was.

                The children could have been molested and their parents were also looking for a payday. They could both be true. I have no idea, I’m just saying that one doesn’t cancel out the other.

              I’ve got very unethical. Can I get a “oh hail no”?

        • Sure, but that was about Elon’s brother. Surely if Elon was involved with Epstein there will be evidence; it’s not like he was shy about being photographed.

          This guilty by association stuff feels like an witch trial evidence, when there’s plenty of stuff to hang Elon with that he did himself.

        You gotta understand that Elon as a business person has never been just Elon — it has always been Elon and Kimbal. They are thick as thieves, friend, there isn’t much humanity to be sqwozed here.

        Its a familial rot. They are all guilty, that is the point.

      I never even wondered if muskrat had any siblings, he has such an “only child” energy that it didn’t seem worth even thinking about. Gotta read up on them (he apparently has a sister too). Can only guess what weird shit will come up.
