Curiously sufficient, Musk went viral a number of months in the past when he fired a warning shot at pals and associates of Epstein.
Musk’s remarks got here as Epstein’s confidante and fixer, Maxwell, will doubtless spend a long time in jail.
Nonetheless, one huge factor stays:
What about Jeffrey Epstein’s shoppers and pals. We all know he frolicked with high-powered rich males like Invoice Clinton and Invoice Gates.
These two and others like Wall Avenue titan Leon Black are all saying they’d no thought what Jeffrey Epstein was doing and remorse giving him the credibility that got here with assembly them.
However is that plausible?
“On the time, I didn’t notice that by having these conferences it might be seen as giving him credibility. You’re nearly saying, ‘I forgive that kind of conduct,’ or one thing. So clearly the best way it’s seen, I made an enormous mistake not understanding that,” Microsoft founder and CEO Invoice Gates mentioned just lately.
His ex-wife, nonetheless, didn’t purchase that excuse, speaking to CBS’ Gayle King some weeks in the past about their divorce: “It was many issues. However I didn’t like that he’d had conferences with Jeffrey Epstein. I made that clear to him.”
She went on to say she met Epstein “precisely one time as a result of I wished to see who this man was. And I regretted it from the second I stepped within the door. He was abhorrent. He was evil personified.

A Twitter consumer requested Musk just lately: “It says all of it that we heard extra about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock than we heard about Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial. Additionally it is ‘fascinating’ that the account monitoring Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial bought banned when it gained traction.”
Musk responded: “The place is their ‘shopper’ checklist? Shouldn’t not less than one in every of them go down?”
