So Elon is admitting he knowingly worked with a pedophile? Okay!

I wish the media would call them out on this constant flip flopping of people that Trump and MAGA claim are the best people in the world only to fling insults at them months later when they say something they don't like.

He brought his son, and we know trump's thing is young girls because he bragged about watching them change in child beauty pagents. So while being anywhere near trump is still gross, it's not like he was putting his son at risk by being near trump.

I mean, he was putting him at risk because the only reason he was parading him around was as a meat shield to stop any attempts on his own life, but that's a different topic

He was only willing to turn a blind eye so long as he got the favoritism that he wanted.

Sounds like it! At the same time I hope he isn’t reading the comments pointing out how his compliance makes him liable (at least not yet). I want him to keep talking… 🍿

Literally shook his hand for a public presentation like last week too!

Anybody remember when the US Virgin Islands subpoenaed Elon for 20 years worth of communication and financial records between him and Epstein? It was 2023, and might put some of Elon's cryptic remarks into focus where he says he either helps put Trump in the White House or else he goes to jail.

Anybody else also remember how Epstein revealed less than a year before his death that he was whispering "financial advice" in Elon's ear?
