Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon are all named in copies of Jeffrey Epstein's daily schedules released Friday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.

Why it matters: The schedules make reference to Musk possibly flying to an "island" in 2014, and Thiel and Bannon apparently dining with Epstein as recently as 2017 and 2019, respectively.

Surprising absolutely nobody; the most criminally corrupt people are pedophiles, or at the very least they do not consider it a dealbreaker.

It's kind of weird that the gay man is. I didn't know Epstein also groomed boys.

Theil might have been there for business...

Want to be clear: the type of "business" he would have with a pimp who's running an underage sex blackmail operation is not good.
