My thoughts on the Epstein list: [View all]

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.
