Billionaire Elon Musk and Prince Andrew are named in new files released by Congressional Democrats that relate to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The files turned over to the House Oversight Committee by the Jeffrey Epstein Estate appear to show that Musk had been invited to the financier’s island in December 2014.

Separately, a manifest for a flight from New Jersey to Florida in May 2000 names the Duke of York among the passengers.

    It is kind of funny, because during his meltdown in Indonesia, Elon called one of the cave rescuers a pedophile.

    On 11 May 2000, Buckingham Palace said on its website that Prince Andrew had flown to New York to attend a reception there for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Andrew returned to the UK on 15 May, a later entry said.

    Oh, the blatant hypocrisy…

    Also, the unknown Andrew has clearly stated via his Royal offices that he doesn’t sweat at all, perfectly normal medical condition, so it cannot be him. At all. The end. There is no more to say on the subject.

    My “favorite” part of the article is the last short paragraph. “Republicans on the committee accused the Democrats of “putting politics over victims” and said they would release the full set of documents soon.”

    How do we know Lord Ruler isn’t forging the documents as blackmail against Musk?

    (Not that i believe they are, but it seems plausible)

    (I should probably point out that I’m not really paying attention to the details here)

    I think the title is spelled wrong. The correct one is, “Donald Trump has been using the FBI and justice department to coverup the Epstein files because he probably fucked children.”

      He definitely fucked children. We have sworn testimony. Donald Trump is a convicted felon, Jeffery Epstein’s best friend, and a child rapist.

        Yeah, people who don’t fuck kids don’t try to stop the release of files or documents that detail which people fucked kids… Especially when everyone knows that person is LITERALLY NAMED MANY TIMES in said files.

        He definitely molested children… I don’t think was all that particular about age when he was in a “grab’em by the pussy” frame of mind. It’s all funny locker room talk until you think about how he bragged about buying beauty pageants so he could go into the dressing rooms, Miss Teen USA was one of the pageants he owned, he hung out with Epstein, he had teenage girls working in the spa at his hotel, at least one of which Epstein “stole” from him. Dude didn’t care about consent, and considered teenage girls to be property.

        Ha ha ha locker room talk!

    I admit I’m a little surprised (but not shocked) about Musk. Not because I didn’t think he would do that, just because he called out that Trump was in the Epstein files that time. Like I know dude has done all kinds of fucked up rapist stuff, just figured he was doing that stuff outside of Epstein’s sphere.

    But not shocked, because how can you be these days? Just really idiotic for Musk called attention to the Epstein files when he was in them. The guy is an idiot, but you’d think even an idiot wouldn’t talk about anything to do with crimes they’re complicit in.

    But ketamine is a helluva drug I guess.

    We need to stop participating in a society that enthrones child rapists. What if we all just rejected this hierarchy and did a worldwide general strike until we won

      Easier said than done. I havent seen a system that doesn’t eventually attract and promote power hungry people. People that like having power over others, that abuse that power, and create systems to protect themselves.

      Pedophilia is a real thing, but I highly doubt all these elites suffer from it. They are simply looking for a new taste, a new experience, a way of showing off their wealth and power. I honestly don’t know how you solve a problem like this without a huge purge that holds these offenders accountable. But they are in control and we are bickering over if global warming really actually seriously exists for real this time, and throwing anyone who could be The Other under the bus.

      The last 10 years have really shaken my belief in the common man, and I’m seriously doubting if we have the faculties to hold a democracy together.
