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.

    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.

        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.

      Well yeah, they’ve been in overdrive manufacturing doubt about the contents since the beginning of trump’s second term. This is the culmination of the coverup.
