My thoughts on the Epstein list:

Trump and team released mixed up and scrambled messaging out of earnest fear that Elon will release the list.

Trump was threatening to deport Elon and to take away his federal contracts.

So my theory is Elon made threats to release list. Trump and co panicked and haphazardly came out to play defense and say “there is no list” so when Elon releases it they can say it’s fake.

1. Interesting theory. Does explain why the issue of Epstein's came out of the blue.

And they did it knowing it would make Bondi look like a stupid liar.
And put Trump on the spot.

Elon holds all the cards of my theory is true. And Elon is dragging it out for impact.

If we see Trump and Elon kiss and make up and talk of Epstein list drop then I think my theory is the reason!

3. Yes if we see Musk get the lucrative federal contacts, and he and Trump are buddies again.

EcesadingalittledodadA1 or whatever his name is… Let’s just call him Booger. What was that all about? I recall it being exceedingly creepy and weird.

Putin needs the money.
Elon has the money.
Trump did a 180 on Ukraine.

5. Gislene Maxwell's Little Black Book is Still Sealed

The authenticated contents of Ghislaine Maxwell's Lil black book has never been made public.

While Jeffrey Epstein’s “little black book” was largely made public in 2015, Ghislaine Maxwell’s similar contact book—referred to as a 97-page “little black book”—remains sealed and undisclosed.

Why?

Possibly his hackers and also he had access to everything when he was DOGE.

Also possibly Putin.
