Billionaire Elon Musk and Prince Andrew are named in new files released by Congressional Democrats that relate to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The files turned over to the House Oversight Committee by the Jeffrey Epstein Estate appear to show that Musk had been invited to the financier's island in December 2014.
Separately, a manifest for a flight from New Jersey to Florida in May 2000 names the Duke of York among the passengers.
Pretty sure they're one in the same, for an adult at least.
One and* the same
Another way to look at it is "one can't fuck children, because fucking implies consent so you should use the appropriate term which is rape", which is what I believe they meant.
He definitely molested children... I don't think was all that particular about age when he was in a "grab'em by the pussy" frame of mind. It's all funny locker room talk until you think about how he bragged about buying beauty pageants so he could go into the dressing rooms, Miss Teen USA was one of the pageants he owned, he hung out with Epstein, he had teenage girls working in the spa at his hotel, at least one of which Epstein "stole" from him. Dude didn't care about consent, and considered teenage girls to be property.
Ha ha ha locker room talk!
What should happen to him
Yeah, people who don't fuck kids don't try to stop the release of files or documents that detail which people fucked kids... Especially when everyone knows that person is LITERALLY NAMED MANY TIMES in said files.
He definitely fucked children. We have sworn testimony. Donald Trump is a convicted felon, Jeffery Epstein's best friend, and a child rapist.
It's always the ones you most expect, isn't it?
I admit I'm a little surprised (but not shocked) about Musk. Not because I didn't think he would do that, just because he called out that Trump was in the Epstein files that time. Like I know dude has done all kinds of fucked up rapist stuff, just figured he was doing that stuff outside of Epstein's sphere.
But not shocked, because how can you be these days? Just really idiotic for Musk called attention to the Epstein files when he was in them. The guy is an idiot, but you'd think even an idiot wouldn't talk about anything to do with crimes they're complicit in.
But ketamine is a helluva drug I guess.
Given the connection between Elon Musk and Ghislaine Maxwell, I've always assumed this was the case. Trump also called for the files to be released during campaigns if I'm not mistaken.
That was madness. Somebody putting his skills to good use to rescue a bunch of people stuck in a flooding cave and gets called a pedo for saying Elons robot is useless.
Elon projects in 16k with an industry leading contrast ratio.
So, do we act surprised, or no?
Not nearly enough names. Keep going. I want to be shocked and dismayed. I want to find my blind spots. I want the names of people I thought were allies. And then I want us all to have a great, international cultural reckoning to ensure this doesn't ever get this far again.
Prince Andrew? No sweat!
I can't believe that! He's as English as pizza pie!
On 11 May 2000, Buckingham Palace said on its website that Prince Andrew had flown to New York to attend a reception there for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Andrew returned to the UK on 15 May, a later entry said.
Oh, the blatant hypocrisy...
You don't even need to be an Epstein Guy for this. It was rampant all through the 00s.
Mark Foley was chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, having been appointed by Dennis Hastert, who was in the middle of making hush money payments to one of his own victims.
This was also when a bunch of the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal was breaking into the news.
Go back farther, to the 80s, and you might learn about The Franklin Scandal, a historic intersection of child prostitution and banking.
We need to stop participating in a society that enthrones child rapists. What if we all just rejected this hierarchy and did a worldwide general strike until we won
Easier said than done. I havent seen a system that doesn't eventually attract and promote power hungry people. People that like having power over others, that abuse that power, and create systems to protect themselves.
Pedophilia is a real thing, but I highly doubt all these elites suffer from it. They are simply looking for a new taste, a new experience, a way of showing off their wealth and power. I honestly don't know how you solve a problem like this without a huge purge that holds these offenders accountable. But they are in control and we are bickering over if global warming really actually seriously exists for real this time, and throwing anyone who could be The Other under the bus.
The last 10 years have really shaken my belief in the common man, and I'm seriously doubting if we have the faculties to hold a democracy together.
I mean it worked out for the French way back when. People are just too selfish nowadays, don't wanna risk their 401Ks and HBOMax subscriptions.
Most citizens in the 19th century had literally nothing to lose, so it's probably gonna have to get that bad first before people stop waiting around.
it worked out for the French way back when
They were a Republic for like 2-4 years before Napoleon declared himself emperor
By then technofeudalism will be locked in
My "favorite" part of the article is the last short paragraph. "Republicans on the committee accused the Democrats of "putting politics over victims" and said they would release the full set of documents soon."
I believe that...
A lot of these articles only want to talk about the handful of people we already know associated with Epstein.
Bringing up the same old names, because they are A) untouchable and B) barely even news anymore.
Elon soon - "I did not have sexual relations with those children"
How do we know Lord Ruler isn't forging the documents as blackmail against Musk?
(Not that i believe they are, but it seems plausible)
(I should probably point out that I'm not really paying attention to the details here)
According to this article musk was invited, but does not state that he went as it does with Andrew (whom also received a "massage" according to the article)
This article cites the information as being provided by the Epstein estate to the congressional folks.
Also, the unknown Andrew has clearly stated via his Royal offices that he doesn't sweat at all, perfectly normal medical condition, so it cannot be him. At all. The end. There is no more to say on the subject.
Where are we at with the file releases? I think they've released about 1%'s worth, so far. All heavily redacted and just enough spice to titillate the masses without giving any specifics. Oh Donald...will you burn the whole world down just to hide your special secrets with your very special friend Epstein?
everything on prince Andrew is here :
https://www.printernational.co.uk/...
Can you imagine that Falklands intensity that Prince Andrew speaks of? Those weird, wide eyed, face expressions, Prince leaning forward, hands on joystick, sweat pouring off those Nobel sweat glands. Then suddenly... the adrenaline overload... sweat glands instantly stop functioning. The man's evolutionary transformation to non sweating, from becoming to now unbecoming.
If what Prince Andrew is said to be true. He will be remembered for many centuries, a mythological divine royal aristocrat, the second son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, not just for military accolade, but the astonishing biochemical metamorphosis of the human organism.
Or just a weird Pedo
In hindsight, I don't get all the fuss to release those Epstein files: all the names we thought were in there are in there, and the cultists won't believe/care any of it anyway.
What's this nonsense?
Why are multiple commenters now saying "who cares about the Epstein files?"
There's literally a cabal of child rapists running our society, and you people say "I don't get the fuss about records of their child rape."
I can only think of 2 things. Either these commenters are bad actors trying to convince regular people to be stupid, or they're genuinely stupid beyond comprehension.
I honestly don't know which is more likely at this stage. The internet has been infested with illogical-yet-popular dipshits ever since 4G made it easy for them to get online.
my guess is they're beaten down from so many years of this bullshit with no line in the sand ever being enough. so yeah, i get where they're coming from to be honest.
if jan 6 wasn't enough, if ICE raids (both terms) weren't enough, if the supreme court stacking wasn't enough, if the election fuckery wasn't enough, if the nominations to various positions wasn't enough (hegseth, patel, etc.). why in the world would you think the epstein files would make a difference?
honestly maybe you can help them out? give them hope that this will be the thing that makes a difference.
It's one thing for people to be willing to go along with all the bad politicking. It's just another entirely if Trump's participation in child rape is publicly proved. That's a REAL hard pill for most people to swallow.
If you waited 2 seconds before typing, you could've reached the third option: that I was half-joking. Think of it as a Tumblr post. I never said "who cares", and given the effort to hide and divert the attention from them is clear the Files are important and dangerous. But my point still stand: all the names we expected are in there (apart from surprise guests), and all the fans (the same who were raving about Hillary's pedo-ring) won't believe any of it.
No I was not. At this point you're doing it on purpose, FU2 bye.
No! He's a minor! Now you are promoting it!!!
We can fight against it while making jokes. Jokes don't lighten the seriousness, they have since forever been a medium to criticize those in power.
Let's be honest. At this point even if a list is released, can we trust it? It's way more likely to be forged to frame political opponents.
It shows he planned a trip late 2014. Its not concrete evidence, and not all the files have been released afaik. I trust the evidence but am skeptical of jumping to conclusions. He's a piece of shit for plenty of other reasons, and it's worth looking into further along with anyone else in these files
yea, the document release that does by coincidence does not have Donald Trump's name in any way, Jeffrey Epstein's best pal. Seems totally legit
Cool, now start naming the Dems as well. This isn't a political issue. Everyone related to this shit needs to be held accountable.
OK, Donald J. Trump. He was a democrat at the height of his Kiddy-Diddling-with-Jeff phase.
They will genuinely attempt to explain it away with this reasoning. I'm calling it now. Once he saw the light and was blessed by the republican party it washed away this filthy democrat urge...
I hope I'm wrong, but I sadly think I'm not.
I never considered that approach, but that would sound like a convenient excuse and the religious "forgive the sins" people will eat it up, blind to how he acts the same now as he did then.
Fuck... We all want to leave our mark on the world, but not like this...
I literally already see people doing this.
Everybody always seems to forget about the Southern Strategy, where Donald Trump realized that conservatives in the South were the dumbest people in America, even dumber than Trump himself, and that if he switched to the Republican party, and then talked louder and more confidently than other people, these dumb shit conservatives would worship him and do whatever he says.
It does work that way, but Trump never realized anything.
Nixon, Barry Goldwater, and Harry Dent conceived of this idea, and Karl Rove helped move it forward into the modern era. Trump was just the right dumbass in the right place at the right time to help conservatives seize power after they completed almost 2 generations’ worth of propaganda and brainwashing our own people.
Was fucking kids part of his cover too?
Duke of York, famous republican
To be fair, he's done a lot for the UK's republican movement.
Fuck off with this. The VAST majority of people with half a brain don't give a shit if it's a D or R next to the name. I'm sure there are Democrats that are in there, however, the long list of rich/politicians that have been found guilty of sexual crimes, child rape/CSAM ARE majority Republicans.
If you rape children, you should face the consequences, full stop.
That's exactly what I said, idiot.
I can only think that you had a knee-jerk reaction assuming my initial word choice meant something that it clearly didn't. That reaction is a large part of the problem with online discourse getting nowhere and everyone arguing all the time. You're arguing with people agreeing with you for no fucking reason because you're not actually stopping to understand the comments before responding.
Not surprising that people here have terrible reading comprehension and just vote and post knee jerk reactions based on their biases just like everywhere else. Social media was a mistake across the board. It'll be the downfall of our society.
Yeah, we said "unredacted"!
Redacting the names of victims is entirely appropriate and right.
You do have a point.... But how do we know they're not using that to hide shit? I mean, of course they would...
Its possible, sure.
But I'd also point out those aren't the only three names in this new set of documents. Bill Gates is in there, another with Rich Kahn (Epstein accountant, who just last year along with Darren Indyke, espteins lawyer, tried to prevent themselves from being named in suits by victims), researchers like Joscha Bach, his lead attorney Reid Weingarten, etc.
This is only evidence of association, and not of crimes. There are quite a few names in these ledgers, Thiel, Musk, and Bannon are notable because its new information and well known names.
Edit: I'd add two other items - fully unredacted would just mean the victims will get targeted again, and that republicans are more than welcome to vote to release more details. They constantly keep blocking it.
Probably because of things like this:
Which is now up to part 57. I've yet to see a similar list of democrats, but considering the religious right, I do say its far more likely to see a lot of republicans with Epstein and committing crimes than democrats. So we'll probably see a few more democrats at some point, but I think the numbers will lean heavily republican because they are just more likely.
Are you the Karen that was yelling say Charlie Kirk's name at Starbucks?
No, I'm demanding everyone involved be held responsible regardless of the political party, as I said in my comment. But apparently people here seem to not like that idea based on the downvotes.
Nobody is against outing all the perverts, but let's start with the asshole that is clearly using the government to cover it up.
One doesn't prevent the other. Congress can do more than one fucking thing at a time, despite what they try to make us believe with this type of bullshit.

I think the title is spelled wrong. The correct one is, "Donald Trump has been using the FBI and justice department to coverup the Epstein files because he probably fucked children."
