        Yeah honestly it has changed my analysis to some extent. I think I overestimated the influence of these relationships between wealthy and diplomats/politicians. Turns out, the material force behind both was the strongest once again lol

      Capitalism is so corrupt that a man with zero intellect, negative charisma and fumbling opportunities handed to him on a silver platter can fail upwards into being the richest man on earth.

      From Pedo-stein’s standpoint, you don’t go visit the diplomats begging for contracts… you wait for them to come begging you to take their money.

        a large part of grifting off states is implicating your firm into spaces you’re not needed. just relying on proxies in media and US power to push it forward is lazy CEO’ing.

        who’s going to move more starlink boxes, a prefectural head talking to a world bank regional officer about vague economic development plans or a starstruck chief diplomat with the president’s ear? inasmuch as Elon Musk is capable of impressing Mongolia or where-ever’s UN guy

    That attitude had to piss Epstein off because his whole thing is networking powerful people to get more powerful people around to blackmail some of them to get access to more people to blackmail and Elon being all like “oh I don’t care to go just to see some UN people and help you network and advance your agenda” had to push him towards the shit-list and the ghosting by Ghislaine we see in the later emails. Elon literally being entitled about the child abuse network and refusing to do the cover story stuff like all the others, just incredible energy.

      It’s not even “refusing to advance an agenda” because Epstein was just inviting Elon over for an obvious orgy. It’s just failing a vibe check. It’s like being invited up for coffee and going “Caffeine AT THIS HOUR? No thanks, I like to maintain a healthy circadian rythm.” Just the biggest condescending doofus energy.

          If it’s any consolation I was once at a party where an attractive acquaintance is invited me to do body shots. She made out with me when I went to get the lemon out of her mouth and all I could think was “wow! How sweet of my friend to help me this much with getting the lemon into my mouth. She must think I was having a hard time of grabbing it.”
          It took me a few years to realize she was coming onto me

            That is painful and I relate. I see you have no pronouns listed but this story certainly brings to mind memes about certain dating scenes being stymied for wont of waiting for one party to make a move… except in this case it sounds like your friend knew what she was about and our hero (you) wasn’t ready to pick up on it. Like I said, relatable.
