In what appears to be a copy of Epstein’s itinerary, Musk had a tentative trip to Epstein’s island on Dec. 6, 2014.

This is the sort of news you want to share about these guys, not their gossip or their opinions

Other than creepy harems and rape parties, what legitimate business was this guy involved in that could explain their associations? He's way too popular to be a typical well-connected rich guy.

Wealth management. If you don't believe all the mossad stuff, Epstein made investments. Maybe he blackmailed people into not pulling out when he didn't want them to. Or blackmailed/extorted them to invest or else kind of deal. He was a well connected society type in New York City. Not like upper crust but enough to be with rich people even though he wasn't born into it the same way Trump or Ghislaine was.

In his first Florida trial a decade or so ago, apparently Acosta, the attorney that gave Epstein the first sweetheart deal.that let him walk, was told he was intelligence.

So, yes, honeypot blackmail.
