I normally stay away from commenting about sex scandals or even posting citations regarding such scandals. Still, this whole Epstein thing is so breath taking in its extent that it is becoming increasingly hard to ignore. Case in point:

Epstein's Big Tech Connections Rattle Silicon Valley
By David Ingram
February 5, 2026

Introduction:

(NBC) The latest release of Jeffrey Epstein files from the Justice Department indicates that the late sex offender maintained wider and deeper connections in the tech industry than was previously known. The revelations are now causing fractures in the usually clubby world of Silicon Valley.

Emails and other documents show that Epstein was in contact with at least 20 prominent tech executives, investors and researchers, including some current CEOs, according to an NBC News review of a portion of the documents. In emails, they discussed a wide array of subjects, such as startup investments, the prospects of bitcoin, social gatherings, helicopter rentals and, in one case, negotiations over a corporate exit package.

Two tech billionaires, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, have been locked in a social media struggle for days since the documents were released, trading public insults on X as they have accused each other of having exercised poor judgment in connection with Epstein. Both men were already known associates of Epstein, and the documents released Friday included further details about their connections. Authorities have not accused either of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.

On Tuesday night, Hoffman and Musk were still battling online. After Hoffman called for justice for Epstein’s victims, Musk taunted him, “While you’re at it, maybe you can help OJ ‘find the real killer,’” a reference to O.J. Simpson.

This appears to contain disinformation, designed to go viral. I really do wish people would get off Twitter – such a garbage website.
