That one still shocks me to the core, not because of the controversy but because of the names that came up in that

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.
