1/ Why do people care so much about the photo of Elon Musk with Jeffrey Epstein’s “networker” Ghislaine Maxwell next to him? https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-sordid-saga-of-ghislaine-maxwell/2020/07/03/8e3fe18c-bd51-11ea-80b9-40ece9a701dc_story.html Musk has said she photo bombed him. Super brief recap.
2/ Last year, NYT reported that sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein claimed a serious connection to Musk & said he was doing work for Musk’s biggest company, Tesla, in 2018. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/12/business/jeffrey-epstein-interview.html Musk & Tesla denied it. Speculative as it was...
3/ Eyebrows raised in part bc Musk has been linked to women far younger than himself. His GF Grimes, who recently gave birth to their baby boy, is 32 and he’s 49. (Weirdly, Musk’s dad also had a child with his own stepdaughter, 42 years younger. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/03/25/elon-musks-father-has-baby-step-daughter-has-known-since-four/ )
4/ People wanted to know if Elon Musk shared Epstein and Maxwell’s proclivities, engaged in the same conduct, abusing young girls. Musk denies knowing Ghislaine Maxwell: https://nypost.com/2020/07/03/elon-musk-denies-knowing-ghislaine-maxwell-after-photo-surfaces/ Musk asks why she was even at a Vanity Fair party where the photo was taken.
5/ Besides the lurid q’s, it’s not clear where Epstein’s money originated, or how he spent and laundered it. Did he launder any of his money or grow associates’ wealth thru any Musk ventures? Tesla, SpaceX, other? Would Musk or his people have known about or encouraged this?
6/ There’s also an allegation about Kimbal Musk, Elon’s bro & Tesla+SpaceX board member. Reportedly, Epstein introduced him to a GF in 2011, then Epstein got a tour of SpaceX in 2012. Elon tweeted that “To the best” of his knowledge, a tour didn’t happen. https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-denies-that-jeffrey-epstein-toured-spacex-facilities-2020-7
7/ There are a ton of other details on Epstein conections in tech, politics, etc. that I’m not covering in this thread. But Musk & fam reacted strongly on twitter when The Nation’s @kenklippenstein told followers to troll/demand answers of him https://twitter.com/talulahriley/status/1279506448045805569
8/ Seems tabloid-y? No. The questions are serious. Nobody with Epstein’s record or rep should have had access to Elon Musk or his inner circle. SpaceX is a defense contractor, Tesla a huge employer. Nat’l security, & obviously the safety of women & girls would be at stake.
9/ If you know how Epstein & Maxwell did their dirt, I hope you are safe & can blow the whistle as soon as possible. Athlete whistleblowers brought the truth about Larry Nassar and his enablers to light. Justice is slow but it arrives only if a light shines on wrongdoing first.
10/ If you know about a Musk personal or business connection to Epstein or Maxwell, and can share details or records you have about it, you can leak it to me, DMs open or Email [email protected] for my # or here’s how to leak securely to CNBC. https://www.cnbc.com/news-tips/
