    THIS ISN’T NEWS.

    We knew this 6 months ago. John fucking Oliver did a piece of this. Woo.

    Now, the DEPTH of involvement is so far just speculation and opinions from trending.

      Yeah, but this is about who’s saying it. Dude’s rallying up his minions, which means Elon is declaring war, and I personally can’t stop laughing at all this.

        The funny thing about Elon going to war, is that Elon will lose. Fantastically so. The ketamine must still be flowing hard. 5 years ago Trump’s base hated his cars. It’s only when Elon hitched his cart to maga that they started to like him. An unsold cyber trucks are in mall parking lots and his stocks globally are tanking.

        So, now Tesla’s stock is in the shitter. Liberals hate him and don’t want his cars. And now the GOP will flip on him and also not buy his cars. He’s also now going to wreck his government contracts with SpaceX. Mars will never happen for him. And now Twitter will take an even bigger hit. Those ai protections can be drafted to exclude him and his companies too.

        He will absolutely damage trump and split a few people off, but he was in a losing position to begin with. Even with damning evidence and the persuasive media skills and charisma of a much more talented individual, he is so fucking cooked. Without that… Well, now there is only one psychopathic narcissist in the leadership role. So that’s nice.

            I mean… Mars is cool in principal. its still easier to fix our world than to ever terraform another. It’s a very silly idea. But kinda like the moon. Little steps.

            Still. I want Mars to happen. just not this way. So I guess I’m ok with it?

              Yeah! I’m happy if someone else decides they need it to happen, but I want it cancelled for Elon specifically. I want him to cry sad, salty tears about it for days on end.

      I’ve known for about half a decade that he was deeply involved thanks to the brother of Jeffery Epstein who testified in court that Trump had been to the island on many occasions.

        Still wont get released like ever. And even if, they wont believe it.

        its either planted for them, or fake news, or he was thinking she was 18 or whatever. Nothing can change their mind because they lost their ability to think

        They’ll make excuses, like they always do.

        If you took a time machine back 15 years and explained to them that they’d be making excuses for felons, rapists and people running plays from the Nazi playbook, they’d refuse to believe you. But here we are. Running interference for kiddy diddlers is the next logical step in their devolution.

        Conservatives cannot be trusted with power.

        They still are on r/conservative. I checked today. Some are saying they thought it was shady that Trump said he’d release them then all of a sudden he went silent on the matter.

        They are all over the place now.

    Man, this is great.

    I knew they’d fall out eventually, because they’re all so inherently unlikeable, but this one’s gonna be a doozy.

    And I’m going to be here cheering it on like a playground fight.

            Wait, what makes this a confirmation? Just cause Elon said it? I mean we all suspected it, that’s exactly what I’d expect from Trump. But Elon saying something doesn’t make it a fact, the dude loves to shit talk people and he’s never needed proof before…

            So I’m going to go out on a limb and say Elon doesn’t actually know any more than the rest of us. And it also doesn’t really matter either way, Trump was a rapist before and a rapist after.

        Right? Accessing non-public information related to legal proceedings could very well be breaking the law. This is the sort of thing that could be actionable, in criminal or civil court.

            And now he’s pissing off someone who has shown full willingness to weaponize the Justice department.

            But I also brought up civil court for a reason. Trump doesn’t really have direct leverage there and the discovery process could be very interesting in a case like that. A victim involved in the Epstein case may very well have standing to bring a civil suit if Musk is making information that’s harmful to them public.

      If he did, he wouldn’t have to dig up stuff that’s been in the public domain for years.
