Another interesting one between Elon Musk and Epstein: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA006805...

> In 2013, Elon Musk emailed Jeffrey Epstein: "We will be in St. Bart’s. When should we head to your island on the 2nd?"

Do you seriously believe that BILL GATES couldn't score anti-biotics himself without going to Epstein ?

This emails are nonsense.

cypherg•1w ago
anyone that he would ask for such medications then become another liability. Trying to compartmentalize this makes total sense.
denuoweb•1w ago
The fact that these people are paying attention to it at all means they are successfully being distracted from the real news.

"can you get me some anti-biotics"

not

"can you get me some anti-biotics, I've got an std from a russian child prostitute"

you can buy anti-biotics over the counter in plenty of places in the world

In 2000, a teenage kid name Raphael Gray made himself famous by hacking into some credit card records, ordering Viagra on Bill Gates personal credit card and having it delivered to Gates' home address.

Pretty sure bill gates is implicated based on other evidence. It’s not so outlandish. If you got into trouble committing a crime you might go to the one who facilitated the crime for cleanup so as not to risk another co-conspirator.

There is an interview with his ex-wife and asked about Epstein, you can clearly see the disgust in her face. She doesnt go into details about why.
therobots927•1w ago
It all makes sense now. Gates is such a creep. Makes you wonder how many SV “greats” are equally sick in the head.
Bender•1w ago
Perhaps to avoid an money trail and one of his people snitching.

This will be obliterated from this site (and I partially agree, there's nothing hacker-curiosity worthy in it).

The email reads weird. I'm not taking any sides obviously, it's just that bits like "your next career is rewarding" is not ... something you tell to the richest man in the world? There's no "next career" for them, lol. But who knows, maybe that's just how this guy writes.

halJordan•1w ago
Reread it until it does make sense. Don't misread it and then claim it's wrong bc you don't get it

Blackmail ?

bergheim•5d ago
Why? He obviously had ties to a LOT of wealthy and influential people - a lot of them in tech. There are often non tech things here. Like when some prince of Wales or something died. It had like 200 comments. Which I personally didn't understand because surely that is not tech related.

Anyway. How tech, wealth and politics are intertwined matters.

Typos really make it unfathomably entertaining.

If nothing else, the epstein files have really opened my eyes to the rich and famous's complete disregard for spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.

1. Billionaires of all affiliations were enabled to go slumming and lots of people helped keep it quiet. Meanwhile, they were allowed to impregnate, infect, and wreck the mental health of thousands of children. Eww. Epstein's lengthy (but limited) survival may have been contingent on both the accumulation of kompromat on important people and the power/wealth halo effect.

2. Republican billionaires were almost certainly redacted in releases or withheld in documents not released.

3. I'm curious how many documents are/were incompletely redacted with filled rectangles rather than text removal such as using the Adobe tool. And, I wonder if any incomplete redactions are/were purposeful to leak while maintaining plausible deniability.

4. If/when Trump leaves office, with the behaviors exhibited thus far, it seems the remaining precious documents will go with him (or to his next of kin should he leave horizontally) to maintain power over others and that "victim security" is a duplicitous smokescreen.

> I wonder if any incomplete redactions are/were purposeful to leak

Yeah I’ve wondered this too. As dumb as some of the people doing redactions might be, I still think they would’ve learned from previous botched redactions that you can’t leave the real text underneath the black box. Unless they weren’t trying to.

wahnfrieden•6d ago
It’s been reported they had to bring in many unqualified and untrained people because of the urgency and scope of the work.
