    Of course he is. Though, to be fair, it’s not the first time he called someone he’s mad at a “pedo guy”.

    On the other hand, I’m sure he knows a thing or two about Epstein’s associates.

    The only way this could get funnier is for the White House to release the Epstein files containing Elon out of spite.

        Epstein and Maxwell went out of their way to get photos with every celebrity possible, I’m assuming for blackmail reasons, there’s photos of them with so many people where the photo they’re in was their first and last interaction - not to defend musk cause I have no idea the depth of their relationship, or potential lack there of, but this seems more like she snuck into the photo and he’s not even aware she’s there. I don’t personally believe musk is a pedo

            Probably overvalued, but not comically. This dipshit fired the entire infrastructure charging group last year because he was out of adderall for twenty minutes. There is no comparison.

      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.

        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.

        • 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.

          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.

              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.

          Nah, meth is usually smoked with a bowl pipe. It liquefies and boils when heated, so you need a bowl that will hold it once it liquefies.

          And if it’s a straight glass pipe instead of a bowl, that’s for crack. You shove some steel wool into it to act as a filter, then pack the crack in front of the steel wool. Because otherwise, sucking on the pipe would just suck the unlit crack straight through the pipe.

      The actual message doesn’t have anything to do with any facts about what he said, it’s more just that he thinks it’s a “really big bomb” to drop.

      The actual message is just “I am turning against this guy in a way that I think is a big deal so anyone who has more loyalty to me than him should know that you have to pick a side now.”

      It’s a really big bomb for Donald Trump to see that Elon is taking staking a position.

        Not so sure this time. Trump has been trying to avoid that shit like the plague. He also had clear ties to Epstein. If he didn’t manage to make it to kangaroo court every time… There would be a significant amount of evidence to convict someone else in this case. I genuinely hope musk puts his weight behind it. Not that I like him either.

    2. Elon is speedrunning pissing off the most authoritarian regime the US has ever had, plus all of its culty supporters who are probably, just now, wondering how the deep state got to Elon or whether he was a sleeper agent for them all along.

    3. Elon is going to have no friends left to stand for him when he gets invited on a permanent vacation.

        I suspect that Elon has fully bought in to the idea of meritocracy insofar as his status as the richest or second richest man on earth is a direct reflection of the value of his character. As such, I also suspect that he thinks as highly of you or me as we may think of gnats or house flies. He likely thinks the average person is a gibbering idiot with a prejudice that is very different from the one developed by retail workers. That is, his prejudice is born not from the experience of learning to run defense and preserve sanity, but from the common, daily pattern of exploiting people, and the fact that he’s rich and you’re not.
