Go look at the emails. It kinda shows Elon was clueless about what the island was about.

Also he wasn't notorious at the time.

> What exactly are you defending here?

Ah you're going to accuse me of defending pedophilia now? Figures with your type.

He spent 18 months in jail in 2008 for "soliciting prostitution from a minor". If you associated with him after that date, you were ok with hanging out with a pedophile.

I literally linked one in my first post - I'm clearly more familiar with them than you are.

you're right, it's not like the UK press had implicated Prince Andrew in 2011 which was international news, three years after Epstein's conviction for procuring a minor which was also international news.

> It kinda shows Elon was clueless about what the island was about.

In the released emails we have thus far, Musk was the first to bring up the concept of a party, on 25 November 2012. So no, that doesn't indicate at all that Musk was clueless about what the island was all about.

I don't need to, but given the evidence (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50126559) it is very weird behavior to go out of your way to defend him.
