Haven't seen this circulating as much here as I've seen over on Twitter and Threads, but just an FYI that the "girls FTW" email is FAKE. It's not in the files. There's no time or date stamp. Someone just made it as a (really dumb and harmful) joke. leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...

What he is not addressing is that he very much requested to visit and party with Epstein, while SpaceX gave a tour to Epstein in 2013.

In other news, I started a newsletter! It's intro to astronomy in scope, and I hope people will check it out and subscribe if that's what you're in to! Probably sporadic posting, because I have a full-time job and a toddler, but hoping to do it regularly. ๐ญ
