This is useless without the actual files. Leak them already Elon.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Everyone paying attention already knew that Elon.

[–] the_three_tomatoes@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Elon is like the mental age of a child minus the obvious sensibilities of a child, like having a sense of empathy or respect for others.

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 29 points 13 hours ago

thanks for saying shit we already knew, and confirming that you also knew yet still supported him while knowing he was a pedophile.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

im so insanely confused, i have not been in fedi in a bit... can somebody give a leangthy explaination?

[–] scbasteve7@lemm.ee 5 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Trump and Elon broke up (tldr, Elon is bad for optics and they both are sensitive with fragile egos) and now they're beefing. But because they're both man children, it's through social media.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 34 minutes ago

what are they beefing about?

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 8 points 12 hours ago

ok so if liberals hate elon musk, and now trump voters hate elon musk -- who's gonna buy all those dumpsters?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 28 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t know why he says this like it’s a revelation, everyone knows

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

musk basically just told everyone he knew trump was a pedo and still helped him become president.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 7 hours ago

What, Musk hasn't thought something through before blabbing about it on the internet? I'm shocked.

[–] boughtmysoul@lemmy.world 16 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Waking up to this was like Super Christmas.

Whichever one loses, we all win 😂😂😂

[–] matdave@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Unfortunately it will be more like we all lose

[–] boughtmysoul@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Let me have something, man.

[–] Alaik@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago

Hopefully both.

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Hopefully both!

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 44 points 21 hours ago

Post the files then you fucking asshole.

[–] MaxPow3r11@lemmy.world 40 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (2 children)

I'm assuming Musk did this after he removed his own name from them.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 13 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

He's the richest man in the world, he doesn't need to be involved with Epstein at all, he's rich enough to fund his own pedo ring

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 17 points 21 hours ago (5 children)

I am a little dismayed that the world's awareness of sex-trafficking and systemic child abuse seem to begin and end with Epstein.

Does everyone think that this kind of vile luxury for the wealthy was centered around ONE person? There are billions of people on Earth, it's not only still going on, but the ringleaders are celebrating that the world's attention is on just one dude who was caught and killed for it.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 7 hours ago

Well it's sort of hard to obsess over cases we don't know about. What do you want from people, self-funded investigations?

If you have evidence then obviously you know what to do with it. When it comes out people can talk about that case too otherwise I don't really know what you want.

[–] scbasteve7@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

My assumption is that he was the Tiger Woods of pedophilic sex trafficking. He was the best, most well connected, and most "secret".

Ofc there are others, but they probably don't have the traffic and volume that Epstein did.

That is just optimistic thinking of course. There is the possibility that he was the least known, and there's bigger badder traffickers still hiding in the dark.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I think people are obsessing over this case because a bunch of rich and powerful people got publicly exposed as a part of the same ring, but there's certainly way more out there. I'm sure a bunch other politicians, billionaires, clergymen, celebrities, and a whole host of other people with influence has their own rings all over the world.

A big bomb would have been definite proof that Trump isn't in the Epstein files.

Stating the obvious at the other hand isn't.

The big bomb would be a paper trail showing how they rigged the election.

We've already seen the documents that say trump is a rapist paedophile.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

The election wasn't rigged (in the sense you're hoping for, or that MAGAs were alleging for the 2020 election). On a federal level it's deeply broken because of state administration, voter suppression, loopholes allowing for billionaires to fund election campaigns and first past the post.

On a state level from what I can tell it's much the same with a few exceptions.

I kinda doubt Musk had to do anything illegal to influence the election.

[–] zildjiandrummer1@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago

That's a massive claim, so it'll require some substantial evidence. However, there are many statistical irregularities in swing states and other anomalies that haven't occurred for 100+ years.

There are already several SMART and ETA lawsuits in a few states to demand recounts/audits.

this is political theater, planned and staged infighting. and the liberals are going to absolutely EAT IT UP. the reality is that Trump has always been the fall guy, the scapegoat, the lightning rod.

the ownership class utilized him to concentrate power, they use him as a distraction, and now they can use him at a scapegoat. they want to pretend to "switch teams" and get on our good side, so we forget how much they were the ones who hurt us.

when you see this, just try to remind people of that. remind them who is holding us down.

[–] MangioneDontMiss@lemmy.ca 3 points 13 hours ago

if musk honestly thinks we're gonna forget he's nowhere near as smart as i thought he was.

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think they have as much control as you think, I just think they're confident they can come out on top of whatever chaos he causes no matter what it is.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

what control are you denying?? it's two dudes deciding whether or not to fight publicly. that's all the planning and organization this would take.

Oh musk, just wait until ICE knock on your door and deport you back to where you came from ~~arpartheid africa~~ ~~nazi germany~~ El Salvador.

It kind of rings hollow when he was bringing his child around the guy while Donald wasn't releasing the files, along with being one of his biggest cheerleaders.

"water is wet" ahh

[–] kinther@lemmy.world 96 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Everyone should remember that Elon doesn't care about political parties. He could give a shit less about the right or the left. He's in it for the money.

He played the right, getting an idiot elected who would allow him to gut the agencies auditing his companies. Now when he's done with them and his base is upset with him for selling out, he's pivoting back and trying to appease them.

It has always been about the money. Fuck Elon Musk.

My favourite thing about this is just how thoroughly predictable it was.

And I don't mean in hindsight either, tons of people called it the moment Elon started hanging around Trump.
