Republican megadonor Elon Musk spent the weekend trying to change the narrative about his interactions with accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein after emails surfaced showing Musk arranging to ...

    Musk argued that “nobody” had pushed for the release of the Epstein files as much as he did, and he said legacy media and “far-left propagandists” would “make counter-accusations against me” and that he would be “smeared relentlessly.”

    He had DOGE. He could have done something about it and didn’t. Instead, he deeply compromised our government’s data systems, stole sensitive information, destroyed important agencies, and covered up his business crimes. He can burn on the same pyre as this whole administration.

      Imagine being the world’s first trillionaire but everyone still thinks you’re a loser.

          That’s what really strikes me as well.

          I’ve had an odd life. I’ve struggled with the demons in my head, I’ve buried loved ones, I’ve slept in my car in a Midwestern winter, and I’ve also thrived beyond what many do in lots of my adulthood. So I feel comfortable saying that he needs someone with his best interests in mind in charge of him while he undergoes a few years of therapy. Also he needs fully off social media, traditional media, and to be away from the toxic groups he’s been a part of.

          He’s being tormented by his isolation that he himself created and his ego. He clearly still has a lot of trauma from his father, and a lot of cultural baggage from his country of origin. At the end of the day, this is a man who abandoned his family when he got “trophy wife” rich and abandoned his daughter when she turned out not like he wanted, yet he still posits himself a great family man while trying to maximize number of children rather than trying to spend good time with them or raise them.

          One cannot be happy spending all their time at home alone posting on social media, it doesn’t matter if that home is a spartan apartment, a single family dwelling, an enormous estate, or a genuine castle. This is one of the biggest lessons of the past 20 years

            TBF his family are also super-rich white-supremacist pieces of shit, so he probably learned a bunch of this at home.

          he still looks down on everyone else in the world, while also desperately, painfully seeking their acceptance

          Narcissism in a nutshell. His buddy Trump is the same way.

          Just think of all those wasted resources hoarded to fill that void where normal people have empathy and experience being human. It will never fill. It will just needlessly suck all the resources and wealth and he’ll still be chasing a dragon he never saw.

          Meanwhile, everyone else struggles and misses out on a fulfilling life because they’re exhausted from working for nothing or working too much. We really should exterminate every one of them.

          He would likely be our next president if he was born here so count yourself lucky(er, ish) on that point. Another untold horror awaits us instead.

    You know, the reason my name won’t ever surface in the Epstein Files is cause I didn’t go there and fuck children. I can’t help but wonder if Musk tried that strategy. Maybe him skill issue?

      You know what, that’s the same reason I’m not in the files either. Because I never fucked children with the israeli honeypot operation that filmed it. Maybe that’s why I can freely tell people Israel is Nazi.

      Only if he stepped well outside what he was supposed to be doing, and looked at and/or had his goons look at a lot of classified information that they had neither the security clearance, nor the need to know to access.

      So in short, yes.

        Sadly, writing an sql query in an Excel spreadsheet to search through folders, and passing a clip art of a run button doesn’t work well.

        Probably should have clicked the run button.

        (Please don’t tell me that Excel could handle all the things I mentioned, just because it can doesn’t mean it should)

    So the guy calling people “pedo” and trying to out Trump on X as being in the Epstein files is actually a pedo and in the Epstein files?

    In Elon’s defense, he’s such a pathetic tag a long that even Epstein didn’t invite him. And Epstein trafficks children.

      And for context Epstein was friends with Null (Founder of 4Chan), Trump, and Woody Allen. So we aren’t talking about someone with particularly high standards, Musk is basically the guy in Warhammer fantasy that gets ignored by the slaaneshi cultists because he is just that pathetic.

    What if some of the most deranged MAGA/QAnon base are so mad that they take care of Musk themselves? How poetic would that be?

      i would expect that asshole to live surrounded by some heavy security. i don’t think you can just come and slap him (or worse) on the street.

      i do think that the security team might be slightly more nervous than usually, but taking him out would need to be some professional operation, not some random maga loser military cosplay.

          Mars knows what to do with him. -276 degree nights (as I recall, it’s cold,) highs of 60 f in the summer on the real scorchers. Oh yeah, the atmosphere is like 1/100 of ours, and lacking in oxygen. No magnetic shield, it’s a dead planet, scorched by solar radiation, no ozone layer either, the sun strips molecules of air into base elements without that magnetic shield caused by the molten core of a planet with a solid crust spinning around it, just as a glass of water turned in a circle will see the water stationary while the glass moves.

          His bullshit on mars has always been a confidence game, playing on the aspirations and dreams of those that don’t know he’s full of shit, and those also playing those people going along with him.

          I got a violation from reddit once, and abandoned that account because of that 3 day ban, for suggesting Musk should be aboard one of his launches, for advocating violence, I guess it is logical to presume anyone on one of his rockets will die given their track record to be fair.

            Yeah, but like, what did Mars do to deserve having Musk touch it? What if humans do eventually want to colonize it, it will be contaminated and 100% scum and no one wants that.

              It will be good fertilizer. Shit makes great fertilizer and they are full of that so it’s a win win really. They wouldn’t last a month even if they landed safely with all their supplies. I bet thiel and his compatriots would cannibalize Musk first, they might not even wait to land before eating musk. Like I said, great tv. And it would do wonders for preventing the vagairies of these billionaires lying and cheating to steal despite being richer (on paper, in theoretical money for the most part,) than anyone else.

    I almost feel sorry for him considering his dad is an epic child molester. But then you realize he helped cover it up, denies it, and is also a chomo.
