    thanks for saying shit we already knew, and confirming that you also knew yet still supported him while knowing he was a pedophile.

    Of course he is. Though, to be fair, it’s not the first time he called someone he’s mad at a “pedo guy”.

    On the other hand, I’m sure he knows a thing or two about Epstein’s associates.

    The only way this could get funnier is for the White House to release the Epstein files containing Elon out of spite.

        I’m actually surprised they haven’t done the classic yet, of releasing a “redacted” document where you can just highlight parts to reveal the text.

      What a terrible tailoring job. The bottom half looks alright, but the tailor cut the top of that dress way too roomy. Her boobs aren’t big enough to fill it, so it makes her look small. She should fire her tailor.

      Yeah but on the positive side, there are some people on the right that are dubious of Trump and yet still dumb enough to be fans of Musk - hopefully this will speak to them.

    Everyone should remember that Elon doesn’t care about political parties. He could give a shit less about the right or the left. He’s in it for the money.

    He played the right, getting an idiot elected who would allow him to gut the agencies auditing his companies. Now when he’s done with them and his base is upset with him for selling out, he’s pivoting back and trying to appease them.

    It has always been about the money. Fuck Elon Musk.

                  The majority of people with 401ks don’t actively manage them, it’s usually generic broad based index funds or similar, which at this point almost assuredly includes Tesla

            What the functional profitable technology giant that is often the worlds most profitable enterprise building future systems year after year after year?

            Probably overvalued, but not comically. This dipshit fired the entire infrastructure charging group last year because he was out of adderall for twenty minutes. There is no comparison.

        How TF can it be still positive YoY is beyond my understanding. Sales outside of US are tanking, the brand reputation ODd and died, the CEO will follow soon and he’s hated by everyone except tech bros.

    Oh, sweet. Nazi infighting, that’s a plus; AND does this mean he just very blatantly leaked classified information? In a functioning legal system (shut up, let me dream) this means he’s facing serious convictions, and lost his government contracts! Fucking yay!!

      even worse. it means that he knew for a while and held that info until he got on trumps bad side.

      he was cool with pedofilia, but not cool when it’s by someone he no longer as use for.

      also, who wouldn’t be surprised if Musk hasn’t participated in rich people pedofilia

        I’d almost believe that he didn’t because he’s so supremely weird about wanting a lot of children and that didn’t seem like a “to term” operation Epstein was running. But I could be wrong, I have no idea; I never dug into details about pedo island.

        Not so sure this time. Trump has been trying to avoid that shit like the plague. He also had clear ties to Epstein. If he didn’t manage to make it to kangaroo court every time… There would be a significant amount of evidence to convict someone else in this case. I genuinely hope musk puts his weight behind it. Not that I like him either.

          Not for Trump, but for Musk. He achieved his goals, so is trying to salvage his reputation before Tesla’s board kicks him for ruining the company’s profits.

      Unfortunately, Elon Musk almost certainly wrote this tweet not knowing or being too high to realize that it was slander (or libel?) and if anything happens it will probably be Elon getting roasted in court.

      Still cool to have Elon get humiliated but Trump is the one who deserves justice handed to him for his ties to Epstein.

    It kind of rings hollow when he was bringing his child around the guy while Donald wasn’t releasing the files, along with being one of his biggest cheerleaders.
