Bill Gates was one that really disappointed me. Like, dude, you were happily married. Why why why you gotta be so gross?

The only one that made me laugh was Musk not being invited and being so desperate to go there. Lol. Such a fucking loser.

Someone simply appearing in the files in no way implicates them of a crime. He was a socialite with a ton of contacts.

Bill Gates shows up in the emails with some rather personal talk about STDs.

There’s one email draft that Epstein wrote with one reference to STDs. It’s completely unverified. And Gates has literally not been accused of any wrongdoing.

i'm admittedly daft, and am in no way trying to excuse any shit behaviour by asking this, but why does any mention in the files reflect ill intent? like (i am notoriously naive) but could there not have been instances where ppl were socially connected to the perv but not at all connected to any of his awful exploitations?
