Newly released files from DoJ show the pair making plans in 2013 for the Tesla CEO to visit Epstein’s private island

Elon Musk had more extensive – and more friendly – communications with the financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein than previously publicly known, according to documents released on Friday by the Department of Justice. Emails in the files appear to show the two cordially messaging each other to make plans for Musk to visit Epstein’s island.

The documents include Musk and Epstein emailing in December 2013 to determine when Musk should make the trip to Little St James.

Musk has been harshly critical of those linked to Epstein, but the newly released emails appear to contradict his own longstanding denial of any ties of his own. The Tesla CEO told Vanity Fair in 2019 that Epstein was “obviously a creep” and claimed that Epstein “tried repeatedly to get me to visit his island. I declined.” The emails between the two moguls come years after Epstein was convicted in 2008 of soliciting prostitution from a minor in Florida. Authorities later arrested Epstein in 2019 on federal sex-trafficking charges.

    Dude has fathered like 20 children without having had actual sex with anyone. That doesn't exactly fill you with confidence that he has a normal attitude towards sex or adult women.

    Then there is the little fact that he spent untold millions, if not billions, of dollars on having the brightest minds on earth devise a CSAM generation engine.

    A pdf ring took over the US government to avoid going to prison. They will dismantle democracy if it means they will never be prosecuted for their heinous crimes.

    Now it makes sense why they are willing to destroy the very system that protected them and from which their fortunes are derived. It's either this or prison! It may not seem like it, but deep down they are desperate.

    Funny how denial is the just them admitting the truth once it’s released.

    You know something? If a group of individuals stood in solidarity, claimed responsibility to enforce moral law, and fought to arrest Trump under their own self-proclaimed authority… I wouldn’t even be mad. In the past, people would have said “let the rule of law work it out.” At this point, however, the authority of a militia would not be too far off from the authority of Trump. Trump takes the situation into his own hands (those tiny little hands), with self-proclaimed Presidential powers up and beyond that of even Unitary Executive Theory. Something to contest that authority with its own would be welcomed in my book.

    Well that's the thing, isn't it? We can't bring them down with the legal systems that The Billionaires have built for themselves.

    If we want Justice then like minded individuals have to be willing to group up, and deliver that Justice upon their heads. We have to work outside of their legal systems.

    Doesn't even need violence. Just like-minded numbers that want accountability from representatives. People back down from a show of force, whether that be from kinetic energy or potential. Numbers enmass is enough to enforce change, without violence... simply with the implicative. Inevitably people will get hurt (we're past that), but true consequences are often worse than death

    Nothing's been done about the crimes he openly committed at DOGE, and everything else he was being investigated for before he shut them all down. This information is only interesting if there's any consequences for it, and I have zero confidence of that happening.

    They are untouchable, for now. If we do develop into a one-party state fixing elections which appears more than likely, the administration will turn on them sooner than later, they will cannibalize them. If history is any guide which it is.

    Thing people forget is that epstein was a purveyor. Teens to rape was just one of the things he provided.

    Musk was probably hunting people for sport

    Epstein was a black mailer. The raping of teens was less the business than collecting kompromat. There are persistent rumors that Epstein was part of the enforcement arm for a money laundering operation involving Trump.

    My hope is that someone with a sense of vengeance gets fucked over by this and starts taking revenge on everyone else involved. I'd absolutely love to see these pieces of shit eat themselves alive. With how evil these people are there is no way in hell they don't have dirt on each other.

    40c is far too hot for any time of year, though. I'm pretty sure that's roughly the melting point of the human brain..

    Excellent video!

    Anyway, wet bulb temperature can essentially be described when it is hot and too humid to sweat and regulate your own body temperature.

    Really fun stuff!

    Holy shit.

    So the guy that bought Twitter and turned it into a literal CSAM machine and gave money to the other guy accused of raping children via the global elite pedo ring is also mentioned in the list of documents about the global pedo ring?

    In November 2012, Epstein sent Musk an email asking “how many people will you be for the heli to island”.

    “Probably just Talulah and me. What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” Musk replied.

    Musk has been harshly critical of those linked to Epstein, but the newly released emails appear to contradict his own longstanding denial of any ties of his own. The Tesla CEO told Vanity Fair in 2019 that Epstein was “obviously a creep” and claimed that Epstein “tried repeatedly to get me to visit his island. I declined.”

    This is why Grok is allowed to do CP, eventually images/videos might surface and they will claim it as AI generated.
