Hello to the new followers and folks here. I'm a tech reporter for the NYT. It's going to be an interesting time to report on tech, and more specifically Elon Musk as he extends his power into the White House.
If you work or have worked for him and want to reach me, hit me up on Signal at rmac.18.

Congrats to my friend @ellenhuet.bsky.social, whose book, Empire of Orgasm, comes out TODAY. What started as some dogged reporting about an SF wellness company, turned into a vivid tale about a full-on sex cult. Get it now!

The president of the United States said this today: “A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen.”
Context: journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered by a Saudi hit squad and his body parts dispersed.

you don't have to embarrass our guest by asking if he had someone killed and hacked to pieces
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

So it seems Krauss forwarded an email from me to him asking for responses to allegations against him to Jeffrey Epstein, asking Epstein for advice on how to respond.
Here's Krauss emailing Epstein about the allegations detailed to him in @peteraldhous.com's email. Notably, Krauss does not deny #6 (that he groped a woman's breast during a selfie).

Short 🧵: Interesting to see Lawrence Krauss cropping up in today's Epstein documents. No date or context for this, but our reporting at BuzzFeed News identified Epstein as a significant source of funding for Krauss. (From prior reporting, "agreed in principle" may doing a lot of work here.)
In the Epstein documents release today, there is a file for a proposed Lawrence Krauss-led event series w/ proposed guests, 23 of which had "already agreed in principle" according to the doc. Some of those listed include Noam Chomsky, Woody Allen, Barack Obama, Larry Page and Elon Musk.
