    THIS ISN’T NEWS.

    We knew this 6 months ago. John fucking Oliver did a piece of this. Woo.

    Now, the DEPTH of involvement is so far just speculation and opinions from trending.

      I’ve known for about half a decade that he was deeply involved thanks to the brother of Jeffery Epstein who testified in court that Trump had been to the island on many occasions.

      Yeah, but this is about who’s saying it. Dude’s rallying up his minions, which means Elon is declaring war, and I personally can’t stop laughing at all this.

        The funny thing about Elon going to war, is that Elon will lose. Fantastically so. The ketamine must still be flowing hard. 5 years ago Trump’s base hated his cars. It’s only when Elon hitched his cart to maga that they started to like him. An unsold cyber trucks are in mall parking lots and his stocks globally are tanking.

        So, now Tesla’s stock is in the shitter. Liberals hate him and don’t want his cars. And now the GOP will flip on him and also not buy his cars. He’s also now going to wreck his government contracts with SpaceX. Mars will never happen for him. And now Twitter will take an even bigger hit. Those ai protections can be drafted to exclude him and his companies too.

        He will absolutely damage trump and split a few people off, but he was in a losing position to begin with. Even with damning evidence and the persuasive media skills and charisma of a much more talented individual, he is so fucking cooked. Without that… Well, now there is only one psychopathic narcissist in the leadership role. So that’s nice.

            I mean, of all things, why is that your biggest win?

            Exploring another planet is at least a worthwhile goal.

              Because it seems like his life-long dream, or at least an achievement that would cement him in the history books.

            I mean… Mars is cool in principal. its still easier to fix our world than to ever terraform another. It’s a very silly idea. But kinda like the moon. Little steps.

            Still. I want Mars to happen. just not this way. So I guess I’m ok with it?

    this is actually good, not just drama.

    Musk is basically Trump’s publicist. without him, a lot of Trump propaganda machinery is gone.

    This trump vs elon narrative feels performative. Call me a cynic, but I feel like a narrative is being pushed to try and win back good will for elon.

      From elon maybe, but there’s no way agent orange can fake letting himself be insulted publicly and be OK with it. He’s just getting played again, like he does by everyone who doesn’t need his resources. Suckers like Giuliani actually needed his money, so he was left holding the bag, but guys like putin and elon can just use him and drop him because he has no guile.

    As much as I believe that Trump is in the Epstein files, I don’t believe Musk has any info about this. Remember this is the same guy that called the person trying to rescue those kids in a cave a pedophile with zero evidence. Musk can not be trusted, even is it’s something you want to believe.

        Epstein wanted to get to Musk so he set Musk’s brother up with someone and Kindall introduced Musk to Epstein. Kendall ended up Epstein’s friend. We don’t know what happened between Epstein and musk But I can almost guarantee you that it didn’t involve Legal consensual adult interactions.

        I don’t think so? Yeah, every accusation is a confession and all that, but I don’t remember seeing anything to substantiate it.
