Elon Musk was itching to go to Epstein’s parties, and excited about all the ‘girls’ that would be there, *five years* after Epstein pleaded guilty to *procuring a child for prostitution*. What on earth did he think went on at these parties?

@bbcstever.bsky.social, that was a powerful and very telling documentary. I was mouth open almost throughout the entire series wondering how you and your team wake up every morning to do the job you do in such a very polarised state, and meeting people who have such a very twisted perception of you.
