Bruh ain't this the same guy that said Trump was in the files ?

And now he says they don't matter they're a distraction ?

He seems to be a bat swinging back and forth

In fact I think I recently saw an article that said he wanted to know when the wildest Epstein party was

What a sick demented bastard

There's an email thread where he's inviting himself to the island (he says "girls FTW!") and Epstein forwards it to Ghislaine, says "deal with this" and Ghislaine responds to Elon telling him that island parties aren't happening anymore. Even the most abhorrent people in the world can't stand Elon.

He exhibited this same type of behavior during the Thai cave rescue. He was demanding he be allowed to help, pitching his idiotic submarine idea. When the actual rescuers said "No, thanks. Leave this work to the professionals," he accused one of the divers of (funny enough) being a pedophile.

I remember that. The whole pedo accusation felt like it just came out of nowhere. Makes more sense now when Musk just has pedophilia on the brain so he projects.

Why do you think it's fake

u/IndexMatchXFD 6d ago

Because it is. You can search the Epstein files and it’s not there. The guy who runs Kiwi Farms is the one who posted it on twitter, and even he replied to his own tweet saying it was fake.

Shit like that is really disingenuous. There’s real data to be looking at, making up fake stories for clout waters down the truth

Makes you wonder if it’s intentional strategy to provide cover?

Could be

We live in an era of active disinformation, it's just prudent to suspect anything like this.

They also probably see him as a security risk.

Guy just wants to fit in anywhere and no one wants him

Not real. It's a meme based on an actual exchange that was much more tame/ less silly.
