David Pakman dot com. Here is that bonus show episode. Welcome to the bonus show. Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon are in the Epstein files. We have new documents that have been released. You know, once again, Pat, even what's been released doesn't say that they are perpetrators of sexual crimes.
But it is very interesting because the assumption from many on the right has been that it's really Democrats being protected and that Trump wants to blow the whistle and expose everybody. It's also funny because Elon Musk had that famous tweet Trump's in the Epstein files implying that Trump was in the Epstein files as having committed wrongdoing.
And now it turns out that it's a bunch of Republicans in the Epstein files, at least to some degree. And also that Elon Musk himself is in the files. There's a reference about Elon coming to the island on December 6th. And the question as to whether it's happening now, I'm the first to say, Pat, the documents don't even prove Elon went.
All the documents show is that there was a point at which that was the plan. But we don't know that Elon Musk even went to Jeffrey Epstein's island. Never mind that it doesn't allege that Elon Musk committed any crimes or sexual assaults or whatever the case may be. We don't have that information one way or the other.
But what is very clear is that the false notion that the Epstein files would only incriminate Democrats and Trump's going to expose them all. That was the story two years ago. That is, at this point, not even remotely believable.
Yeah, it's absolutely right. And at this point, we're getting such a slow drip of information having to do with these Epstein files. But it's important to not jump to conclusions just because we hear a name mentioned in the files. That doesn't mean that they were guilty of anything. There could have just been contact between Epstein and Musk and these other figures.
And it doesn't mean that they did anything wrong or illegal.
Also, I think it's worth mentioning that if part of Epstein's plan with how he ran the scheme was to first meet these wealthy and powerful individuals before slowly opening them up to blackmail and having them do these illicit things, well, then he has to make the initial steps, right, of getting to know them and maybe scheduling meetings and this sort of thing.
So just because there was something on the books, that doesn't mean that Elon or these other people names were implicated, but it would be nice to have the entirety of the files, right? Because then I think we would know a lot more of this information for sure.
