I might lose some with this one, but hear me out. I can believe that Elon Musk never went to Epstein's island, nor did anything inappropriate with him – except for having a relationship with someone who was then already convicted of soliciting prostitution from minors. Not because I think Elon wouldn't do anything like that, but because there's no clear evidence of anything else and I operate on evidence. I would even have respected him if he had come out and said something like: "Look, I know these emails look bad. I honestly didn't know Epstein was a convicted p3do at the time. I thought he was just a financier party boy, and I got connected to him through [such and such]. He invited me to his island. I had heard there were some "wild parties" there, but I was not aware of anything illegal. I just thought I was going to blow off some steam. Anyway, scheduling conflicts [one on my side and one Epstein's side] prevented me from going. With time, I learned more about him and cut off communications. I am for the full release of the files." However, he didn't do that. Instead, he lied. He repeatedly said he "refused" invitations, but several emails prove he didn't. He straight up responded "yes" to an invite to the island and asked about "when are the wildest parties" going to be in another. He claims those emails are being "misinterpreted", but there's simply no way to misinterpret them, nor is he explaining how. He blames the "legacy media" for "lying" about the situation, but he doesn't say how they are lying. Everything is coming straight from him. Again, we can't prove, for now, that Elon went to the island or did anything illegal with Epstein. But we can say for a fact that Elon Musk asked to go to the island of a convicted p3do to attend his "wildest parties." That's terrible in itself, but Elon's reaction of lying on top of it is just a bigger red flag that makes me thinks there's a lot more to the story. But he is so used to lying at this point. He thinks he can get away with it because he feels like he does due to the fact that he lives in an echo chamber he built for himself, filled with sycophants who repeat his lies like gospel.



8 years ago I met Epstein via zoom. A mutual contact put us in touch as I was building my brain interface company Kernel and he had supposedly done some neuroscience stuff at MIT. After a ten minute video call I immediately called the person who put us in contact and told him that Epstein seemed like a very dark person. I felt sick to my stomach. I also told him I that never wanted to speak to him again. I remember this so clearly because I knew nothing about him but weirdly, intuitively, something was deeply wrong. Being in his proximity felt dangerous. Despite having nothing to go off of, I never interacted with him again and came to find out years later that he'd had a fucked up past.
