Pretty sure it's just her posture. It's cut for shoulders back and she's hunching just enough for it to bag a little.

Well then it's her sense of style. She needs to pick dresses that look good on her normal posture. And a good tailor helps communicate that to the client.

That's Ghislaine Maxwell, socialite and friend of Trump and Epstein. Currently in prison for sex trafficking.
You know, in case their connections to Epstein island weren't obvious enough.
Zenith 27 points a year ago
Epstein and Maxwell went out of their way to get photos with every celebrity possible, I’m assuming for blackmail reasons, there’s photos of them with so many people where the photo they’re in was their first and last interaction - not to defend musk cause I have no idea the depth of their relationship, or potential lack there of, but this seems more like she snuck into the photo and he’s not even aware she’s there. I don’t personally believe musk is a pedo
QuoVadisHomines 13 points a year ago
Musk 100% aligns with the kind of guy Epstein would want to meet. He is rich and sciency and Epstein looked for those types.
merc 3 points a year ago
What's interesting is that almost all the people involved with Epstein are people who suck, but probably most of them weren't really aware of the child sex trafficking. Epstein's "day job" was basically being the guy who introduced people to each-other. Rich and powerful people wanted to be part of his social circle so they could be introduced to other rich and powerful people. Because Epstein introduced people, he knew about deals early, which let him make money from them.
Sure, Epstein had young-looking women around him, but that's always true of rich guys. I'm sure he vetted the people he introduced to the really young ones carefully because he didn't want the whole thing to blow up.
Now, most people assume that everybody who had anything to do with Epstein is a pedophile. So, they're hating the right people for the wrong reasons... and I can live with that.

Nah, meth is usually smoked with a bowl pipe. It liquefies and boils when heated, so you need a bowl that will hold it once it liquefies.
And if it’s a straight glass pipe instead of a bowl, that’s for crack. You shove some steel wool into it to act as a filter, then pack the crack in front of the steel wool. Because otherwise, sucking on the pipe would just suck the unlit crack straight through the pipe.

It would save the government some upfront money and then result in losses in the hundreds of billions as others can't come close to the cost to orbit that Starship can.
There's nothing being designed today by anyone that would compete with it if successful.
Falcon 9 as it is saves the government billions of dollars.
NotMyOldRedditName 2 points a year ago
For all intents and purposes, starship has made it to orbit a few times. They purposely kept it sub orbital by cutting the engines off a few seconds early so it would re-enter the atmosphere where and as planned for their tests.
You wouldn't want a ship designed to survive re-entry to fail, and make landfall over a major city, but they have landed it as planned in the ocean in a controlled manner a couple times.
(Edit: also the last 3 launches have been the V2 ship. It's substantially different than the V1s they did land in the ocean and is having some growing pains)
In the time SpaceX has designed, launched, landed, and reused two orbital boosters, no one else has done it once.

Elon is a known horndog and sex pest. I think it's less "he's responsible" and more "he's just as mixed up in the Lolita Express gang as any of these assholes".
Incidentally, Gislaine Maxwell was at Chelsea Clinton's wedding. I don't think that means Chelsea is a rapist. But I do think Bill is, and this kind of close relationship further illustrates the circle all these people ran in.

I suspect that Elon has fully bought in to the idea of meritocracy insofar as his status as the richest or second richest man on earth is a direct reflection of the value of his character. As such, I also suspect that he thinks as highly of you or me as we may think of gnats or house flies. He likely thinks the average person is a gibbering idiot with a prejudice that is very different from the one developed by retail workers. That is, his prejudice is born not from the experience of learning to run defense and preserve sanity, but from the common, daily pattern of exploiting people, and the fact that he's rich and you're not.

In its essence a little more compassionate saying. Because we also have the word "Mitgefühl". Literally "with-feeling" eg to feel with someone together, to feel what they are feeling.

Maybe but I kinda doubt it.

That seems a stunningly bad move and for all his faults, trump is good at the politics of a brawl.

I don't believe anything from these people nor do I necessarily disbelieve. Bannon flat out on video stated their tactic was to flood the media as "they can only focus on one thing at a time ".

Look if people get upset about it enough to rattle their leaders into action, I'll take it.

There's no debate, water is wet and a bunch of Reddit users want to try to come with pseudo-logical arguments to counter the statement because they want to sound smart and because it's a popular saying and they hate anything popular.

Musk: "Trump was in the Epstein files!"

Somehow I don't think the people who voted for a felon rapist traitor conman are going to care if he fucked some kids.
Soapbox 9 points a year ago
From the ones I know, they all at least pretend to care very deeply about kids being molested and trafficked. However, when faced with evidence that Trump was involved with Epstein and has been accused of sexual assault they insist it's just coincidence and a witch hunt, and that it's more important that Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking were in the flight logs.
They care about kids until it's politically inconvenient.
homesweethomeMrL 3 points a year ago
Yeah that's true, they won't care, but it's a big part of their public persona to talk a LOT about caring extremely, irrationally, very much for trafficked children, particularly those that don't exist.
To suggest - even to think! - that trump might have done such a thing. *gasp* oh no. no no no.
psycho_driver 3 points a year ago
Nah probably not. Most of them have always wanted to be openly racist like they get to be in MAGAland. So it follows a lot of them might be happy that this is AOK for dear leader so it must be alright for them too.

I've got to stock up on popcorn for the epic hissyfits these losers are throwing down. I hope Elon gets deported then proves Trump is on the Epstein list.

Big bomb? I feel like we all knew this already.

I get the impression he wasn't talking to us though. More like the mouth-breathing, cloven-hooved twits he's been embedded with for a year.

Pretty sure this incompetent fuckwit has more dirt than that on more people. And even if he dropped it I still wouldn't want to be anywhere near the bastard or have anything to do with anything he does.

Putin. Which may be interesting since Elmo's a big fan too. Which side will Daddy Poot align with.
aquinteros 6 points a year ago
and you still supported him?? knowing this ? fuck you even more
Jeanschyso 6 points a year ago
Is that new information?? I thought we all knew that already
LovableSidekick 5 points a year ago
So in other words, DUH. Like we didn't know that, or why a despondent Epstein fatally hung himself in his cell while the cameras weren't working. But thanks for the heads-up cyberdude.
Yerbouti 5 points a year ago
It actually lasted way longer than I expected. But seeing musk high af in the white house was an unexpected bonus.
That said, fuck both of these pedo-nazis clowns, can't wait to take a piss on their graves.
Grandwolf319 4 points a year ago
Hahaha,
As if die hard MAGAs haven’t moved the goal post for more terrible shit than this.
Funny how he doesn’t mention Putin eh, I guess that would be the pot calling the kettle black.

Okay, the Grok response is hilarious too. Musk is probably loving how he programmed that thing right now.

Since a fight to the death is probably against the TOS I think they should have a sexy nude wrestling match in a kiddie pool full of ketamine.
homesweethomeMrL 5 points a year ago
I absolutely do not want that.
SatansMaggotyCumFart 3 points a year ago
You don't want a sexy little naked wrassle in a kiddie pool of ketamine?
Because it'd be hot

Both can jump off a cliff. I don’t believe this is honest for a second. It’s too dumb to be real. It makes America an even bigger joke.

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.
