Elon Musk has said an Axios report that the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had concluded there was no evidence of a Jeffrey Epstein client list was the “final straw”.

The report also said the agencies had concluded there was no credible evidence the disgraced financier and pedophile blackmailed high-profile and prominent individuals, and confirmed that surveillance footage showed Epstein had killed himself in prison.

“So… umm… then what is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for?” Musk posted to his X platform, referring to Epstein’s former girlfriend and associate who procured underage girls for him to abuse.

    Here’s Elon just before the 2024 election telling Tucker Carlson:

    If Trump wins that Epstein client list is gonna become public. And some of those billionaires behind Kamala are terrified of that outcome

    Imagine being so spun up by qanon that you are driven to support the Rapist-in-Chief (and besties with Epstein), thinking Taco was going to do something about the child rape that…checks notes…the Democrats supposedly do (lol)? Even when it was the rapist-in-chief that was found guilty of rape? Remember, it was Hillary and crew that was supposedly trafficking children out of the basement of a basementless pizza parlor?

    Can even one of these idiots make it make sense, even in their fictional universe? None of this makes any sense at all.

    As a Republican this Leaves me ANGRY because I THOUGHT the CLINTONS were on that List but if Trump, who was Epstein’s Best Friend, says there is No List then that means the CLINTONS never Raped kids either!

    c’mon do it, you jilted sycophantic cuck. you were born to engage in political corruption, get burned by people better at it than you, than lash out at them in a tantrum fueled by your delusions of having conflicted morals. just do it

    She was an accessory to his crimes. And if she had any more information to possibly share, she’d have “killed herself,” too.

    No one ever asks why Epstein was allowed to kill himself. Who gave the order to take him off suicide watch? I remember people at the time screaming that it was a bad idea.

        I didn’t hear too much about the first time. I don’t remember it. I know he was on suicide watch. Then he suddenly wasn’t with every medical professional saying he needed to stay on suicide watch. Was he on suicide watch the first time?

          He continued his lifestyle while he was still in jail.

          He only had to spend nights at the jail and he still had women visit him constantly. No one knew what they were doing because the guards were not allowed to guard him.

          Epstein was also allowed out of the stockade for up to 12 hours a day, six days a week on work-release after agreeing to pay off-duty deputies to guard him at his office at 250 Australian Ave. On workdays, Epstein’s driver picked him up at the stockade and drove him several miles to his office — just steps away from Goldberger’s office — at a nonprofit he founded seven months before he pleaded guilty.

            To be clear, that was in 2008 when he was serving time in Florida. The situation in 2019 in NYC was very different.

              Yes. He has been in jail more than once.

              To be clear, again, why didn’t he suicide himself the first time he was in jail?

                Why didn’t he commit suicide the first time he was in jail? Didn’t you just explain that? He got a free day pass, and when he was in jail he was allowed to leave his cell to go to a nearby one to watch TV. His future looked bright. It just seemed like he had a little annoyance to put up with for a while and then he was going to go back to living it up.

                The second time it was pretty clear that his lifestyle was over. They were throwing the book at him, and he was likely going to spend the rest of his life in prison. That’s what I imagine was going through his head.

        I suspect because they didn’t have all his video files. Couldn’t kill him if those files could get leaked after his death.

      I think the onus ultimately falls upon the head of the DOJ at the time (Barr, if I recall correctly), who was appointed by trump, and at the time loyal to him.

      That would be Bill Barr. Look into it yourself but Bill probably had Epstein killed, he’s the guy who knows what happened.

      Nobody ever asks “are suicides not common?” Nobody ever asks “are US prisons run correctly?”

      We average like 50 suicides a year in federal prisons. Despite being under watch, suicides are greater in prison populations than in the general population.

      US prisons are not run correctly. People are not taken care of, or kept from hurting themselves and others, and there’s negligence and abuse and more.

      Why is Epstein killing himself in federal prison weird? That’s literally a trait of conspiracy nuts: they never allow small things to be responsible for big outcomes.

      • Why is Epstein killing himself in federal prison weird?

        That prison had a great record. I read somewhere that the previous suicide at the Metropolitan Correctional Center was over a decade before Epstein’s. Google is now too enshitified to find the source though.

        Also Epstein told multiple people he was not feeling suicidal nor was he acting so.

    Musk framed himself as a champion of good fighting the forces of evil, but then he retreated when Tesla stocks went down. Democrats are destroying the country, society is being perverted, etc. But that’s nothing compared to his wallet. (His words.)

    Musk says he’s aware of a massive pedophilia conspiracy involving presidents, billionaires, and royalty. Then he backs out when Trump threatens SpaceX contracts.

    He wants to bring mankind to the stars and create a free society on Mars. But then someone will threaten his bottom line and that will be the end.
