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.

    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.”

        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!

        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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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?

    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

      Enough people have copies at this point I don’t think there’s much fucking with it. But I am also unconvinced it will result in anything meaningful.

        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.

        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.

        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.

              Oh no. You are the Karen. You are having an argument with yourself. Nobody wants to protect pedophiles, or arguing that only Trump should be investigated. They are upset by the clear abuse of power in the cover-up perpetrated by Jeffy’s best pal.
