Musk freaks out over Epstein files appearances
A spiralling Elon Musk has been accused of “fully crashing out” and “powerscaling his pedophilia” in his bizarre attempt to brush off his over 1,000 appearances in files on serial child-rapist Jeffrey Epstein. So far. Many of them come in the latest Department of Justice release, including asking Epstein about parties on his island on Christmas Day.
Bizarre sort-of-denial from Musk
Musk issued a bizarre response that if he wanted to “spend my time partying with young women” he wouldn’t need “creepy loser” Epstein’s help. But as a non-denial denial, it didn’t go down well. Accusations in response were along the lines of ‘protesteth too much,’ or in more modern parlance, “fully crashing out”:

Others were even more direct, accusing Musk of “powerscaling his pedophilia” to say he’d beat Epstein at it:

But even that wasn’t direct enough for some:

And Epstein may have shot himself in the foot, or at least the ego. A bias he reportedly wanted built into his ‘Grok’:

Despite the grimness of the topic, there was room for denialism humour too:

But, as with so many things, it turns out that Musk hasn’t been original. A similar tactic was attributed to musician Drake:

With millions of documents released – though reportedly the DOJ/FBI is withholding more than half – there is much more to come.
