The Epstein Chronicles

Episode: Silicon Valley’s Dirty Secret: Jeffrey Epstein and the Tech Elite

Host: Bobby Capucci
Date: June 27, 2026

---

Overview

In this episode, Bobby Capucci dives deep into the newly released Jeffrey Epstein files and their explosive implications for Silicon Valley’s most powerful figures. He outlines how Epstein’s web of influence and access infiltrated not just politics and finance, but the core of America’s tech elite—even after his criminal record was public knowledge. Through close analysis of emails, meetings, investments, and social interactions drawn from the latest DOJ releases, Capucci exposes the complicity and hypocrisy of prominent tech founders and investors, challenging the notion of Silicon Valley as a meritocratic, ethical community.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Epstein’s Integration into Silicon Valley Power Circles

[01:00–03:30]

• Capucci stresses this isn’t about one predator “slipping into tech cocktail parties,” but about a system that “welcomed him, used him, and profited alongside him.”
• Epstein operated as a “shadow venture capitalist,” leveraging access, introductions, and quiet investments—not just money, but connections, tuition, loans, and patronage.
• “He was meeting founders before they were famous, attaching himself to early-stage companies, floating money through opaque vehicles, and presenting himself as a fixer...” (Capucci, 01:50)

2. The Culture of Complicity and Moral Blindness

[02:30–05:00]

• Capucci highlights the hypocrisy: Even after Epstein’s crimes were public, influential figures in tech continued to associate with him due to his perceived utility.
• “Silicon Valley loves to pretend it's a meritocracy built on code and brilliance. But the Epstein records tell a different story: One of backroom trust, whispered referrals, and no-questions-asked capital.” (Capucci, 02:30)
• “Epstein wasn’t tolerated despite his crimes. He was tolerated because he was useful.” (Capucci, 03:45)
• He calls out the self-justifying narratives and public relations spin as tech companies now scramble to manage fallout.

3. Deepening Web of Connections: The Newest Document Revelations

[05:00–10:00]

• Emails and documents confirm Epstein was in regular contact with “at least 20 prominent tech executives, investors, and researchers,” some being current CEOs.
• Topics ranged from investments and bitcoin to parties and personal matters—clearly indicating more than casual, accidental acquaintances.
• Discussion on the rivalry between Elon Musk (Tesla CEO) and Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn co-founder), both newly implicated more deeply via these files, including social media mudslinging and blame-shifting.
• Quote: “The problem is the paper trail doesn't lie.” (Capucci, 05:50)
• Capucci mocks the attempts of billionaires to downplay or distance themselves from Epstein, scathingly commenting on their ethics and motivations.

4. The Old Excuses Don’t Hold Up

[08:00–12:30]

• Many tech figures claim ignorance or minimal contact, but the timeline contradicts these defenses—associations intensified well after his 2008 conviction.
• Example: Elon Musk’s infamous invitation to Epstein (“What day or night will be the wildest party on your island?” – 2012), years after Epstein’s conviction.
• “He builds rocket ships so he gets a pass? Not here, not on this podcast, not ever.” (Capucci, 09:20)
• Capucci is unsparing in his assessment: “None of these dudes are heroes. None ... are role models. All these dudes are degenerate scumbags.”

5. Prominent Tech Figures Directly Named or Implicated

[12:04–20:00]

• Reid Hoffman: Regular meetings, correspondence, and visits to Epstein’s island/ranch—even sending “ice cream for the girls” (2014). Hoffman later claims it was all related to MIT fundraising, but Capucci finds this explanation hollow and evasive.
• Elon Musk: More direct contacts and invitations than previously acknowledged; Capucci notes the contrast between Musk’s tough social media persona and his cozying up to Epstein in real life.
• Bill Gates & Peter Thiel: Named repeatedly in documents, with references to multiple dinners and meetings. Gates’ ex-wife Melinda publicly voices that “Gates needed to answer for his behavior with Epstein.”
• Stephen Sinofsky: Former Microsoft exec who turned to Epstein for help negotiating a $14 million exit, and allegedly offered to “share his exit payment” with Epstein.
• Sergey Brin & Larry Page (Google): Emails and arrangements about meetings, travel, and Epstein’s helicopter.
• Mark Zuckerberg: Epstein attended a group dinner with Zuckerberg, hosted by Hoffman (2015); Meta claims no continued relationship.
• Jeff Bezos: Listed among attendees at billionaire dinners with Epstein.

6. The Industry’s Response—Evading Accountability

[20:00–27:00]

• Most tech figures and companies now refuse comment or issue blanket denials—Capucci points out the silence and evasion as further evidence of guilt or at least shame.
• Documents reveal they eagerly sought Epstein’s advice or help, despite well-known criminal allegations.

Notable Quotes and Memorable Moments

• On the hypocrisy of tech’s “meritocracy”:
  “The files lay bare a truth that Silicon Valley PR teams are now scrambling to smother. Epstein wasn’t tolerated despite his crimes. He was tolerated because he was useful. He introduced people to money. He introduced money to secrecy.” (Capucci, 03:25)

• On Musk and Hoffman’s public spat:
  “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 O.J. find the real killer.’” (Capucci quoting Musk, 08:40)

• Calling out industry cowardice:
  “Bro, you're not a tough guy, all right? Stop it. You're a dorky dude who's into tech and who's into science, and that's okay. But own it. Don't run around like you're some kind of tough guy, like you're looking for justice.” (Capucci, 13:30)

• Summarizing the rotten culture:
  “And the truth is, the whole entire power structure of not only America, but the world is broken. And the people that inhabit it are very, very, very, very degenerate, sick people. And I want you to remember that the next time one of these people gets up on their ivory tower and tells you how to live.” (Capucci, 28:10)

Tone and Language

Bobby Capucci’s delivery is direct, sarcastic, and uncompromising, with a persistent emphasis on unmasking the hypocrisy and moral failures of high society and tech leaders. He employs biting humor and rhetorical flourish to underscore the shock and anger at how systemic and open these relationships were—frequently reminding listeners not to be fooled by PR spin or status.

---

Summary

This episode systematically exposes how Jeffrey Epstein’s network penetrated Silicon Valley’s upper echelons, enabled not only by money and secrecy but also by a culture that valued ambition and access over ethics—even after Epstein’s criminality was public. The tech elite’s “dirty secret” was not ignorance, but calculated complicity, justified by profit or self-delusion. As Capucci closes, he urges listeners to hold these figures to account and not be swayed by their professions of innocence or public-image campaigns.

what's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. So now we've come to the part of the story that the Brologarchs hope would never come into the light. Not the island, not the flights, not the salacious headlines they could laugh off as gossip. I'm talking about the paper trail, the emails, calendars, introductions, wire records and quiet investments. The Jeffrey Epstein files that are now circling the true centers of modern power, the oligarchs of Silicon Valley. And let me be clear from the jump. This isn't about one rogue predator slipping into tech cocktail parties. This is about a system that welcomed them, used them, and profited alongside them. Epstein wasn't just lurking on the margins of tech.

[Bluff]

He.

[Podcast Narrator]

He was embedded. He was meeting founders before they were famous, attaching himself to early stage companies, floating money through opaque vehicles, and presenting himself as a fixer who could open doors no accelerator ever could. The files show Epstein operating as a shadow venture capitalist, not pitching ideas, but picking people. He wasn't betting on products. He was betting on access, leverage, and future obedience. And at this point, this pattern is very familiar. Silicon Valley loves to pretend it's a meritocracy built on code and brilliance. But the Epstein records tell a different story. One of backroom trust, whispered referrals, and no questions asked capital. He didn't just fund startups, he funded founders. He paid tuition. He wired loans that never had to be repaid. He. He embedded himself as a patron to people who would one day control platforms shaping global discourse, finance, surveillance, and political influence. And here's the part that really should make your skin crawl. Epstein wasn't hiding who he was when much of this happened. By the time many of these relationships deepened, his reputation was already radioactive and public. Yet in private, Silicon Valley kept the door open. Why? Because Epstein understood the tech elite better than they understood themselves. He knew they prized disruption over morality, ambition over accountability, and growth over scrutiny. He sold himself as a necessary evil in a world that already believed it was above the rules. The files lay bare a truth that Silicon Valley PR teams are now scrambling to smother. Epstein wasn't tolerated despite his crimes. He was tolerated because he was useful. He introduced people to money. He introduced money to secrecy. He bridged finance, academia, intelligence, and tech into one murky ecosystem where ethics were treated as an inconvenience and victims as secondary. It's sickening because this isn't ancient history. These are the same circles that lecture the public about safety, trust and and responsibility today and monetize your attention. And sitting in their origin stories like a rotting beam in the foundation is Jeffrey Epstein signing checks, making calls, and shaping futures. So save the whole entire this is about embarrassment routine. Because it's not. It's about complicity. The Epstein files aren't coming for Silicon Valley because of gossip. They're coming because the receipts are real. And for an industry that claims to worship transparency in data, there is nothing more damning than its own records finally telling the truth. This article was published by NBC News. Headline, latest Epstein Files Release Rattles Silicon Valley. This article was authored by David Ingraham and Bruno Horvath. 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. Well, look, if you paid attention even a little bit, you knew all of this. Like, people are shocked about Brock Pierce. Yo, we were talking about Brock Pierce and his Epstein escapades literally five or six years ago. And so it's always laughable when this news gets recycled as something new. Now, it might be new to you, NBC, but to those of us who have been following along, we all know, and we all knew that Silicon Valley was playing their part, too. 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. Sure, sounds like somebody that had intimate knowledge and intimate relationships with these people? No. And the wildest part is how many of these tech gurus have tried to distance themselves from Epstein? The problem is the paper trail doesn't lie. Two tech billionaires, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and LinkedIn co founder Reed 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. Of having exercised poor judgment in connection with Epstein. Both men were already known associates of Epstein, and the documents released on Friday included further details about further connections. Authorities have not accused either of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. Well, they're both liars. That's a fact. Anything else past that? Well, we need evidence, but I think there's ample evidence to show us that both of these clowns are liars. And you know what's wild as hell? That we let these people run the world. These are the dudes that were getting shoved in lockers in high school. These are the dudes that were getting atomic wedgies. But, sure, let's let them run the whole entire world. And as far as the girls go, we're talking about dudes that could never get girls growing up, right? Dudes that never had women around them. And then they meet this guy, Jeffrey Epstein, and he has all these girls, and before you know it, these dudes think they're in heaven. But while they're in heaven, what they don't care about is the fact that the girls that are being trafficked to them, the girls that are being abused by them, well, those girls, they're in hell. On Tuesday night, Hoffman and Musk were still battling online after Hoffman called for justice for Epstein's victims. Musk. Musk taunted him. While you're at it, maybe you can help O.J. find the real killer. A reference to O.J. simpson. Hoffman jabbed back at Musk by posting a screenshot of an email in which Musk asked Epstein in 2012, what, day or night will be the wildest party on your island? And this stupid, disgusting bastard, Elon Musk asked out of Jeffrey Epstein after Jeffrey Epstein was already convicted. So what's the excuse? Oh, what, he's one of your faves, so he gets a pass? He builds rocket ships, so he gets a pass? Not here, not on this podcast, not ever. Every last one of these dudes can get. None of these dudes are heroes. None of these dudes are role models. All these dudes are degenerate scumbags. And now it's not only me telling you that, you can read the emails for yourself. It's been known for years that Epstein had friendships or business relationships with major tech figures, including Microsoft co founder Bill Gates and tech investor Peter Thiel, both of whom are named in the millions of pages in the most recent release. Authorities have accused neither of them of wrongdoing. Epstein also hosted dinners at which scientists and tech entrepreneurs would gather. Oh, so that makes it okay if little Johnny jumps off the building, you should follow him? Like, didn't you learn that as a kid just because your friends are doing something doesn't mean you should do it? Did your parents never tell you that? I know mine did. Be a leader. Don't be a follower, the whole thing. But I guess the richest men in the world, you know, they don't know any better. They don't know that this guy's a molester. They don't know he did time for diddling a kid. No big deal. Let's go to Jeffrey Epstein's house for some dinner. Are you fucking serious right now? And then you expect us to just accept that? What, they think we're all Michael Tracy?

[The Lapsed Fan Host]

Boss, what's the most dreaded question that you can get when you tell people you host a podcast called the Lapsed Fan? Ugh, it's what is it about? And why is that, do you think? Because to like pro wrestling is to lose the respect of others. Now what if we told you there's a podcast that explains exactly why that is and why it's kind of deserved. For over a decade, we've taken fact finding missions through the thicket of half truths that is wrestling history. We watch old matches, call out carnies, laugh at our own jokes, and have so much fun doing it that some people actually can't handle it. Think wrestling is an escape from real life? Think again. Same power games, same office politics, same people lying to your face. Just with entrance music and absolutely no company health insurance under any circumstances. All I offer is opportunity, not benefits. As do we. Vince. The Lapsed Fan Podcast Come for the wrestling history. Stay for the uncomfortable truth about why it used to be better and why you still care.

[Podcast Narrator]

But the files include communication with and references to others from the tech sector who have not been publicly associated with Epstein, and they provide more detail about the relationship that were already publicly known. In some instances, the relationships appear to have been lopsided, with Epstein showing more initiative to stay in touch. But some of the tech figures also eagerly sought Epstein's advice or help on business and personal matters. For some tech executives or investors such as Musk, the documents demonstrate a closer relationship to Epstein than they had previously acknowledged. I've told you this for years now. I'm not saying they were best friends, but they were at dinners together, conferences, scientific meetups, the whole thing. And Elon Musk talks all that like he's some kind of tough guy? Bro, you're not a tough guy, all right? Stop it. You're a dorky dude who's into tech and who's into science, and that's okay. But own it. Don't run around like you're some kind of tough guy, like you're looking for justice. Because if you were really a tough guy and you were at a dinner with Jeffrey Epstein's ass, it would have been on site. The second you seen him walk in the room, you would have got up and punched him directly in the face. Elon Musk has you money. What's he gonna do, get sued? Big deal. So he talks all that tough on the Internet, get gets on Twitter, x, whatever you want to call it, runs his fat yap and then goes and breaks bread with Jeffrey Epstein. Save the. I mean, how do you think he got that black eye? My guess is he tried that tough guy routine off the Internet and he found out. Isn't that their favorite saying? Fafo all these weird ass boomers. Well, I guess he fafoed Hoffman's ties to Epstein had been revealed in earlier releases along of the files. In 2023, the Wall Street Journal reported that Hoffman visited Epstein's island and introduced Epstein to Thiel. Hoffman and Epstein shared interest in cryptocurrency and appeared to have a close relationship with Epstein, writing in an email exchange with Hoffman that he missed talking and seeing him. Oh, they were definitely close too. Reid Hoffman's another liar. An absolute liar. The newly released documents show that Epstein scheduled meetings with Hoffman several times from 2013 to 2018 via email, online Skype calls, and in person meetings laid out in written itineraries. In an email exchange with Epstein in 2013, Hoffman asked to set up a Skype call to talk to him about when he would be at his island. In another email, Epstein invited Hoffman to to his island or his New Mexico ranch to play, whatever that means. Probably pretty concerning when a guy like Jeffrey Epstein is inviting you to come play. And again, timelines matter. This is 2014 we're talking about. In an exchange in 2014, Hoffman wrote that he had sent gifts to Epstein's home in New York, which included ice cream for the girls and something that may strike your funny bone for the island. It's not clear which girls Hoffman was referring to or what the other gift was. A spokesperson for Hoffman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Oh, he has nothing to say now, huh? Mr. Twitter fingers sure is quiet now, isn't he? Hoffman said Tuesday on X that he only knew Jeffrey Epstein because of a fundraising relationship with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which I very much regret. In a separate X reply, Hoffman wrote that he did not go to the ranch. He did confirm that he went to Epstein's island. In another reply, writing that he went with Joy Ito, the director of the MIT Media Lab who had asked me to help MIT fundraise from Epstein. There's that excuse again. Oh well, Joy Ito is doing it, so it's okay, right? No, it's not okay. And you're both degenerates. Ito did not respond to a request for comment. He resigned as MIT Media Lab director in 2019 and published an apology for having associated with Epstein, saying he never saw any evidence of the horrific acts that he was accused of. Of course not. All those young girls, they were there because Jeffrey Epstein is just a modern day Adonis. Real handsome fella, that Jeffrey Epstein. Hoffman, Musk and Thiel are all former PayPal executives from the company's early days, illustrating how small the tech sector can be. They have all greatly added to their wealth since then and have been heavily involved in politics. Hoffman, for Democrats and Musk and Thiel for Republicans. Epstein was a registered sex offender who pleaded guilty in 2008 to procuring an underage girl for prostitution. His case got some media attention at the time, and the scrutiny on him ramped up in 2015 after victims began providing more details about their allegations in court records. Don't try and cover for him. Everybody knew the deal. This dude was arrested. It was a big deal back in 2008, and the smartest people in the room, Reid Hoffman, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, they knew exactly what Epstein was and they didn't care. Epstein died in a jail cell In August of 2019 after federal prosecutors charged them with sex trafficking. Some of those who met Epstein said they did not follow the news about his case. One of the documents and in the latest release is an email exchange in 2017 between Epstein and Brian Johnson, a tech entrepreneur and investor who is focused on slowing the aging process. They were introduced over email by mutual contact Alex Klokus, at the time the CEO of the media website Futurism. Epstein and Johnson agreed to a video conference call. Oh, I had no idea. Nobody told me that Jeffrey Epstein was a notorious diddler. I didn't have access to the news back then. I didn't have people around me that were in charge of security. These people think you're dumb. That's really what it comes down to. During that call, I was left with a deep, unsettling feeling and left the call feeling as though Epstein was the most dark and evil person I had ever encountered, he said in the email. Klokus, who introduced them, did not respond to a request for comment. The latest Epstein documents also reveal that he was an investor in Coinbase, a cryptocurrency Exchange founded in 2012. He invested about $3 million in the startup, less than 1% ownership, according to Coinbase Valuation at the time, and emails show that he and Coinbase co founder for Fred Ursum tried to meet in person in 2004. It's not clear whether that meeting ever took place. Coinbase declined to comment. Ursum's new company, Paradigm, did not respond to a request for comment. Well, that's not shocking. Last thing I want to do is talk about this, that's for damn sure. The release of the documents Friday has set off a scramble as the people whose names appear in the files respond to public criticism on social media or try to avoid the spotlight. It's still unclear what the eventual repercussions from tech figures association with Epstein could be, but some of them have experienced personal Fallout. Melinda French Gates, Bill Gates ex wife, told NPR in an interview on Tuesday that Gates needed to answer for his behavior with Epstein. Well, yeah, probably a good idea, but once again, do you think he's going to, do you think anyone's going to be able to compel him to do so? He should at least be called before Congress, right? Bill Gates said last year that he had been foolish and quite stupid to spend any time with Epstein. The latest Epstein documents include a series of emails that Epstein sent to himself in 2013, appearing to suggest that Gates was was having an extramarital affair and seeking illicit drugs. A spokesperson for Gates denied those allegations, calling them completely false and an attempt by Epstein to entrap Gates. And there's probably some truth to that, but I have no doubt that Bill Gates did what Jeffrey Epstein was suggesting. We have heard about numerous women that were provided for Bill Gates, a lot of them nameless, a lot of it speculation. But then we see here in Jeffrey Epstein's email that he sent us a draft to himself that Bill Gates was in fact engaging in some pretty devious shit. Whether it was with underage girls or not, I can't tell you. But we have heard from multiple adults that that was going on. And let's be very clear, just because somebody is of age doesn't mean they can't be trafficked. So that's a whole ass other conversation. In some cases, the Epstein files raised more questions than answers about why some tech executives or investors appeared to seek out Epstein's advice so often. Epstein came out of New York's financial industry and lived primarily in Manhattan, making him on paper something of a stranger to the tech hubs of Northern California and Seattle. One tech figure who shows up repeatedly in the latest document release is Stephen Sinofsky, a one time protege of Gates who was the Microsoft executive in charge of Windows before he left the company in 2012 after a disastrous product launch. The files include numerous emails between Sinofsky and Epstein dated soon after Sanofsky left Microsoft as he was negotiating an exit package that included a 14 million dollar retirement payment. Must be nice, must be nice. Get yourself a nice little golden parachute on the way out can go and be a scumbag full time. That shit's a dream come true for these type of fellow travelers. For reasons the emails do not make clear, Sinofsky turned to Epstein to help negotiate the exit package and to navigate the next phase of of his career, even though Epstein did not have particular expertise in the software sector. Sinofsky also told Epstein that he planned to share his exit payment with him in exchange for the help, according to the emails, which were reported by the Verge and other outlets. Sinofsky declined to comment. Well, isn't that nice. I have nothing to say to you peasants. Beat it. Doesn't matter if I was getting money from from this diddler. Doesn't matter if I was getting advice from him. Not your business, is it? Now go do my laundry, make my food, come pick me up in your Uber. In an email exchange with Sinofsky in 2012, Epstein suggested that he was in communication with Tim Cook, who a year earlier had become CEO of Apple. Epstein wrote to Sinofsky that Cook was excited by the idea of of meeting Sinofsky, who at the time was looking for a new job. But according to Epstein, Cook was concerned that Sinofsky might start a new company with a former Apple executive. Epstein doesn't make it clear whether he spoke to Cook directly or through a third party, and does not elaborate on whether or how well he and Cook knew each other. Apple, where Cook remains CEO, did not respond to a request for comment in another document in the most recent release of the Epstein files, Google co founder Sergey Brin emailed with Epstein's girlfriend. You mean co, conspirator, fellow, all around scumbag, child abuser and bipedal serpent Ghislaine Maxwell about meeting up with Epstein during a trip to New York in 2003, well before Epstein's 2008 guilty plea. Let me know what works for you and Jeffrey Brin, wrote Larry Page, Brin's Google co founder, also appears in the files, including in a 2010 email from a redacted sender. The sender says Page's personal pilot wants to use Epstein's helicopter for a vacation in the Caribbean and wants Epstein's approval. The files do not appear to include a response. Google did not respond to a request for comment. Thiel, a billionaire tech investor, is and former Facebook board member known for his early support of Donald Trump in 2016, appears in thousands of new Epstein documents, some of which are duplicates. He appears in emails arranging for lunches or other meetups in 2014 through 2017, including at least one lunch at Thiel's San Francisco office. This guy is dangerous. Palantir Thiel. The whole entire intelligence apparatus we're dealing with? Not good. These dudes want every aspect of your life under surveillance.

A representative for Thiel did not respond to a request for comment. One document from the latest Epstein files is an email exchange between Epstein's assistant and the chief of staff for Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The Exchange is from 2015, when Zuckerberg's company was still called Facebook. Epstein's assistant wrote that Epstein and Zuckerberg had recently attended the same group dinner hosted by Hoffman in Palo Alto, California, a fact that became publicly known in 2019. But yeah, no big deal, right? Reid? Nothing to see here. You guys weren't really close at the party. Mark requested Jeffrey send his contact details to him. Could you please pass the below onto Mark? Epstein's assistant, Leslie Groff wrote, noted with thanks. Zuckerberg's chief of staff Andrea Bessman replied. There's no evidence the two men spoke after the dinner, and Meta says they did not. Well, that's up to you to believe it or not. I don't know one way or the other. Mark met Epstein in passing one time at a dinner honoring scientists that was not organized by Epstein. Mark did not communicate with Epstein again following the dinner, mehta said in a statement on Wednesday, reiterating a statement from 2019. According to other emails, Epstein attended or planned to attend numerous large group dinners at which prominent tech executives were present, although it was not always clear whether he spoke to them there. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was at an Edge foundation dinner for billionaires in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2014, according to photos from the event. And Epstein, a donor to the foundation, planned to attend the same dinner, according to emails in the latest release. Another email in 2011 has about 30 confirmed attendees for a planned dinner in Long Beach, California. We with Bezos, Brin and Musk among those listed. Amazon did not respond to a request for comment. And that's the billionaire dinner I was talking about. So look, all these people that get up there and tell you all this flowery bullshit about how they care about you, how they're these great defenders of humanity, they're all breaking bread with Epstein too. And the truth is, the whole entire power structure of not only America, but the world is broken. And the people that inhabit it are very, very, very, very degenerate, sick people. And I want you to remember that the next time one of these people gets up on their ivory tower and tells you how to live. All right, folks, that's going to do it for this one. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box. Hey everybody.
