Jeffrey Epstein is a disgraced financier and pedophile who died by suicide in 2019.

Elon Musk has said an Axios report that the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had concluded there was no evidence of a Jeffrey Epstein client list was the “final straw”.

The report also said the agencies had concluded there was no credible evidence the disgraced financier and pedophile blackmailed high-profile and prominent individuals, and confirmed that surveillance footage showed Epstein had killed himself in prison.

“So… umm… then what is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for?” Musk posted to his X platform, referring to Epstein’s former girlfriend and associate who procured underage girls for him to abuse.

      He continued his lifestyle while he was still in jail.

      He only had to spend nights at the jail and he still had women visit him constantly. No one knew what they were doing because the guards were not allowed to guard him.

      Epstein was also allowed out of the stockade for up to 12 hours a day, six days a week on work-release after agreeing to pay off-duty deputies to guard him at his office at 250 Australian Ave. On workdays, Epstein’s driver picked him up at the stockade and drove him several miles to his office — just steps away from Goldberger’s office — at a nonprofit he founded seven months before he pleaded guilty.

        To be clear, that was in 2008 when he was serving time in Florida. The situation in 2019 in NYC was very different.

          Yes. He has been in jail more than once.

          To be clear, again, why didn’t he suicide himself the first time he was in jail?

            Why didn’t he commit suicide the first time he was in jail? Didn’t you just explain that? He got a free day pass, and when he was in jail he was allowed to leave his cell to go to a nearby one to watch TV. His future looked bright. It just seemed like he had a little annoyance to put up with for a while and then he was going to go back to living it up.

            The second time it was pretty clear that his lifestyle was over. They were throwing the book at him, and he was likely going to spend the rest of his life in prison. That’s what I imagine was going through his head.
