    That it’s public knowledge he is not only a wanna-be pedophile, but he is such a lame-ass that even pedophiles didn’t want him around, has to sting pretty bad.

    Edit: I mean ”wanna-be” in that someone of his financial status was extremely excited to engage in that behavior, and they are still all “yeah, nah, mate”. He still thoroughly qualified himself as a pedo with those messages, to be clear.

    convicted paedophile

    He is a convicted rapist not just a “paedophile”. Paedophilia is a mental condition - and we are way past that - so why spread nonsence such as “convicted paedophile” when in fact we’re talking about a sex offender/rapist.

      Uff, to use proper words nowadays seems impossible.
      Worth to add that the majority of child sexual abusers are not peadophiles, rather it’s about power dynamics and not sexual attraction.

      This looks like an attempt to normalize adults being attracted to children.

      and we are way past that

      Who’s we?

      when in fact we’re talking about a sex offender/rapist.

      No, we’re in fact talking about a children sex offender/children rapist

        Nonono. People who are sexually attracted to prepubescent children have a malfunctioning part of their brain identifying viable sexual partners

        People who rape post pubescent children are monsters who are fully aware that what they are doing is wrong and fucked up and that’s why they do it.

      Epstein didn’t bother typing anything into his subject lines half the time (his email skills rival that of the age group he was preying on).

      So when Musk replied, it was just “re: [blank]”

        Don’t most email clients, or possibly even the SMTP server itself, add something like “(no subject)” when you “forget” to add a subject line (after warning you about it multiple times. I think even the pine mail client did this.) So back in the day when no one understood email, and this is way way after that time period, you would see subject lines like “RE: (no subject)”

        So it’s weird to me to just see “RE” all by itself.

        That was my point.

        But I appreciate all of the replies educating me on the history of email. ❤️👍🏻🦕

          It shows up in the DOJ’s files without the “no subject.” Not the same Musk email, but a different one:

          It’s kinda funny how in business school, you are taught a lot about email etiquette, but at a certain level it apparently doesn’t matter.

      Sorry, couldn’t resist.

      “re:” is a professional but maybe outdated way of responding to “regarding” something.

      In musk’s case here, who fucking knows, billionaires all use emails like shitty chat, and pedo billionaires all talk in code, so it could honestly be anything or even an automatic subject line fill.

      I’m assuming it just means “regarding (the thing WINK WINK)”

      Edit: usually it’s typed something like this:

      Subject: RE: birthday party
      Body: make sure the dancers are only paid after they perform. Also, no peanuts, half of attendees are allergic.

      Instead of having to click an extra button after clicking the send button, just put a space in the subject and the client won’t ask you if you’re sure you want to send without a subject. That’s my guess as to why it looks this way.

    Reply, from the unreleased Trump-Epstein Files:

    "Look, Elon, because you’ve made so many requests to visit my island, I feel I have to be completely honest with you: You will never be invited to my island.

    The hard truth is that it’s tough enough to keep these girls in the game, pretending to be having fun with these fat old perverts, but it would be impossible with a naked troll dancing around, saying bizarre shit. You’re scary enough with your clothes on, I can’t imagine how they’d feel with your clothes off. They’re only little girls after all.

    Sorry, dude, but it’s a Hard No.

    Your friend,

    JE"

    convicted pedophile

    Pretty sure there’s no crime just being a pedophile. Pretty sure the crime is acting on it. But no one really understands we’re in a police state…meaning the state is police and Epstein was Mossad and thus a cop and is still alive because he was a cop. Cops have to tell the truth, right? Yea, the state is lying to you. Trumps a cop too. Hunter Biden. The Clintons. Israel is a cop, ffs. Lost tribe strategy; have part of your network play the heel for intelligence gathering and counterintelligence purposes. But I just stare at goats, what do I know having done propaganda n counterintelligence work for twelve years? You sure know more than me watching the news for twelve years, right? Bro, I wrote that news. It’s not real. Operation Mockingbird was fifty years ago. The New Testament describes a decentralized autonomous organization of secret police at an eighth grade reading level. Get with the program, loser.

    This guy at least looked as a better person when he was poorer. And still after many years of being rich there are no promised Mars explorations whatsoever.
