Elon is publicly terrible, on the Epstein list and supports the far right.

It's the easiest non support of my life, I don't use Twitter, don't have a Tesla, don't use grok.

Elon Musk is far from the nicest person in the world and there are many fair reasons to dislike him but he wasn't in "the Epstein list" (whatever that is), he was pictured with a number of other tech CEOs at a dinner with Epstein, who was a wealthy financier.

I don't normally engage with comments like this as I assume there's no hope for someone who may be so willfully blind to the facts. My comment is more for those who might read what you wrote and accept it as truth.

I believe the previous commenter was referring to Musk's emails with Epstein, many of which were released by the DOJ Jan. 30th earlier this year. On Nov 25, 2012, Musk asked Epstein "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?" Source: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01977...

So I think it would be fair to say he had more involvement with Epstein than a dinner. Epstein was a convicted sex offender since 2008, so it's not like people around Epstein didn't know who they were dealing with.

Ignoring your incredibly obnoxious (and a smidge smug) "You're too far gone!" routine, I've read the E-Mails. Epstein and Co. didn't like him so much they awkwardly lied about winding the "operation" down when he asked about visiting once - I highly doubt they'd let him into "those" parts of the parties even if he begged on his knees.

Stop being a fanboy. He partied at the island AND LIED ABOUT IT.
