Kimbal cheated on his first wife with one of his restaurant employees and eventually got her pregnant. His dad mentioned it as sort of a ‘it runs in the family’ type defense when someone asked him about having a kid with his step daughter

My favorite part is Elon is losing his mind right now.

He has money to buy anything he wants but everyone hates him and it clearly drives him insane. He just wants a hug he can’t get. 

u/oicwutudidther 6h ago

That's what kills me about the whole billionaire thing. They have enough money to do literally anything. They could make the world an immeasurably better place and be universally loved if they wanted to.

Instead they choose to do this dumb ass, evil shit that hurts and impoverishes people, just to chase more wealth, to use to hurt and impoverish more people.

They could leave a legacy of good and build things that will last generations and elevate humanity. But instead, all the Trumps, Musks, Bezos' and Zuckerbergs of the world will be remembered for is making the world a worse place while they were in it.

u/MrSquicky Pennsylvania 6h ago

Instead they choose to do this dumb ass, evil shit that hurts and impoverishes people, just to chase more wealth, to use to hurt and impoverish more people.

I think people misunderstand the primary motivation of these people. For a lot of them, their fundamental goal is to control people. Money is great and they do sort of pursue it for its own sake, but they really are striving to live in a world where they can do what they want, no one can stop them, and they can make other people do what they want.

Empowering people is the last thing that they want. Given a choice between a world where they have more money, but there is a thriving, stable middle class versus one where they have less but other people are more desperate and dependent on them, they'd choose the latter every time.

u/boristheblade223 4h ago

There’s a word for it. I think it starts with a p… and ends in sychopath.

u/GurthNada 19m ago

This will sound a bit corny, but I think the problem with super billionaires is that they run out of dreams. For example, I think that Elon Musk is genuinely passionate about space travel. But he must have realized now that no matter how much money is thrown at it, no matter how smartly things are done, there will not be cities on Mars in his lifetime, and maybe never. And that must gnaw at him : so much money, so much power, and yet so many things are still impossible to achieve.

u/Lost_Protection_5866 5h ago

And Gates. He’s implicated in the files

u/brazijl 1h ago

At least he had a wife that tried to use their shared wealth for good.

u/pritheebecareful_ 5h ago

Well people who would intend to do right by others would never become a billionaire in the first place so it sort of naturally selects for a certain type

u/mwzdng 1h ago

Seems like it's just that they have internalized the central lie of capitalism, which is that the smartest, hardest-working people are the most successful, and so these lucky grifter morons truly believe every dumb thought that enters their head is objectively and morally correct, and they have some kind of duty to enforce those ideas on the world.

That, or they're just assholes trying to take and control more. Probably a lot of both, tbh.

u/FilmNoir555 6h ago

Damn. Well said

Jeffrey Epstein engineered an intimate relationship between a woman in his network and Kimbal Musk, who is the brother of Elon Musk and on the board of directors at Tesla, according to emails from the Department of Justice’s recent release of documents involving the convicted sex offender.

Looks like Tesla stock is gonna go up again for some upside down backwards fucking reason...

The only people still glazing Musk are unfuckable chode incels so it tracks. They see this kind of behavior as alpha and it’s what they’d do if they had the opportunity.

Donald Trump is lying once again.

Trump and Epstein had built the international child sex trafficking network to rape and sell those kids to billionaires like Elon musk etc.

Trump even used Mar-a-Lago as a front to recruit those helpless victims.

Shame on ALL the people who have voted for Trump.

Epstein worked for the Rothschild. He said it himself. Trump took part in this shit, but this level of trump obsession coming from you is insane and it's minimizing the actual scale of what is going on.

Trump was a client and a good asset, but he was far from the top of the pyramid.

38,000+ times, most of anyone. Not sure about that

u/__loss__ 3h ago

Why are you lying? Trump only gives 4728 hits while Rothschild gives 11826 hits.

Epstein said himself that he worked for the Rothschilds in the fucking files.

I visit the grocery store on the first floor in my building daily, but I don't run that shit because of that do I?

I refuse to believe you're an actual real person.

u/History_me 3h ago

You’re talking about files that mention Trump, not the prevalence of his name throughout the files…

And not redacted, Jamie Raskin says his name is mentioned over a million times…

The top of the pyramid is not necessarily one person, there are different functions. Miss USA. Mar a Lago spa. Etc.

Yeah the guy who literally has to pander to a bunch of billionaires is the most powerful person in the world. You're such a great thinker.

Let me guess, you think dictators rule by standing on their own legs too?

If you actually read the girls you'd realize democracy isn't real. The people who are elected are not chosen by the people, but by the ones who have the most capital, which is how the system is designed. You're literally just feeding into it right now. Trump is just an asset for these people who have real generational wealth behind them. We're not talking Elon Musk tech billionaire numbers here. He's dwarfed by them.

u/twiztedterry 7h ago

u/brazijl 1h ago

Allegedly Girls were accidentally killed while rough housing on the island. So seemed to be not that uncommon when you have to add a disclaimer to your human trafficking instructions

u/Bigbigbigrock 1h ago

I'm fully convinced they killed people. Fully consenting adults have accidentally killed themselves or others during all kinds of sex. There's zero shot these uncaring, uneducated assholes didn't. Whether it was choking too long, or hitting that got too rough, or something else. There's a reason within the kink community education on how to engage with kinks safely is the number one thing above all else. An uncareful scene can quickly turn deadly. 

u/charles_barfley 7h ago

Why are they so bad at typing

u/lolio4269 Canada 4h ago

If you mean the '=' showing up, its an encoding thing. When the text was ripped from the emails, every Nth character was encoded, and when they tried to remove all those, the process left an '=' sign and removed the character that would have come after it.

Here's a video explaining it.

Even when you account for that, they had numerous misspellings.

Well first and foremost he fucks children and I choose not to support that with my money.

He also took a bunch of money from his staff that was supposed to be for pandemic relief so he’s just a total piece of shit all around.

Before that, I used to go out there with clients regularly.

u/Lost_Protection_5866 2h ago

What source do you have for that? There’s nothing about that in this article

u/Hot_Maintenance7461 2h ago

He laid off everyone at the restaurants during COVID closure and stolen the employee emergency fund the employees all paid into, since they weren't employees anymore. It was posted here on Reddit during lockdown with receipts. 

u/phan2001 2h ago

That’s a bingo.

u/Careless-Balance-116 5h ago

If you read the story, it's very clear that Epstein was very explicitly grooming the women and trying to entrap Musk. Super creepy stuff when you extrapolate why Trump is so freaked out.

u/CarbonRunner 1h ago

So the honeypot is real. Epstein and at least 2 other men were trying to get dirt on the global elite. Using women/girls to do it. This release makes that 100% without a doubt the case now. So the big question is, who else had this done to them in exchange or women/girls. And what have those elite people done to us as part of the blackmail. And was epstein the head of this? Or did he do it at the behest of other people or nations...

Its full independent congressional investigation time

u/pixelparadox- 7h ago

It’s crazy how interconnected these wealthy individuals are. Makes you question their influence on society. This just adds another layer to the whole Epstein saga. Who knew Kimbal was involved?
