Musk appeared to have attempted to arrange a meeting on the billionaire’s island when he was already a convicted sex offender.
This one is fake. Search FTW on the justice dept Epstein site. Its not one of the few occurrences of the word there. Actually saw someone last night post this and then figure out it was fake on their own on bluesky after an hour or so. So we’re several hours behind them in fact checking apparently and daily beast is posting misinfo.
i don’t think so?
which word? i checked a couple and they’re there. eg, here is Musk planning a visit in January 2014.
it is irritating that they only provided a source link for one of the many mails they quote and have screenshots of, but i checked a few of the others and they do come up in the search.
I wasnt sure if I’d made a mistake so I went to https://www.justice.gov/epstein and you can keyword search, just put “FTW” and theres 17 results, none of which are the purported linked Musk email. Sorry, hes still in there plenty otherwise though.
Edit: here is a bluesky user realizing hed been tricked too: https://bsky.app/profile/lowrhoufo.bsky.social/post/3mdp4zuwrnc2d
The “girls FTW” mail in that bluesky post is indeed fake, but the daily beast article linked by this post does not include that one.
It is noteworthy how the existence of a fake thing which can be debunked can cause people to assume that similar-but-real things are also fake 😭
