(33,643 posts)And they don't even have pictures like this to post, they just make that kinda shit up about Democrats out of whole cloth, and spread it across the world from their far-right internet cesspool.
There's also the fact that he's the one that posed for the picture.
And it could be posted without comment, let the pic mean whatever it means to whomever views it.
Even if a bit unfair, it's nothing compared to the bullshit we get from the other side.
Plus, I think the world's richest man can suck it up.
MHO ... fair game.

(10,787 posts)Do you believe Musk is a pedophile, or do you just think it's funny to accuse people of being pedos?

(10,787 posts)Just being clear that if hanging out with Maxwell makes you a pedo....

(32,061 posts)Just hanging out with one--which means he's okay with it. And, shame on Bill Clinton for doing the same.
AZSkiffyGeek
(10,787 posts)But hey, innuendo is fine, as long as you don't "accuse him" it's perfectly okay to imply it. And trash a leader of the Democratic party in the process.

(24,846 posts)I'm sorry "pedo guy". And that guy wasn't ever photographed with a convicted trafficker of minor girls.
That type of barb is obviously something that Musky thinks is funny. What's even better is that Musky won the defamation suit using and coining the JDart defense...great. Say anything and then delete it and say "sorry" and it didn't count.
As an aside Lin Wood was the "pedo guy" attorney. Coincidence?

(192 posts)Is everyone who ever appeared in a photograph with someone now guilty of something? If so, I have some very bad news about the list of people who are in pictures with Maxwell, Epstein, and Trump, etc.

(2,950 posts)Do you have evidence that means anything other than they were at the same party?
I agree with the previous poster, that it wrongly makes light of child abuse, to use it so cavalierly, to slur those you don't like, even though you have no reason at all to suspect such. That's the game the MAGA and QAnon crowds play.

(32,328 posts)... just by looking at Maxwell's face, and Musk's hairline. So does a 20-year-old photo that was taken at a fancy party mean anything? Not much, it doesn't even prove that they know each other.

The photo of Mr Musk and Maxwell was taken at an Oscars after-party in 2014 organised by Vanity Fair magazine.
Mr Musk attended alongside his second (and then third) wife Talulah Riley, a couple of years before the pair divorced for the second and potentially final time.
Mr Musk also denied rumours that Epstein had been given a private tour of SpaceX several years after his 2008 conviction for procuring an underage girl for prostition.

And here she is at Chelsea Clinton's wedding. Point is, she's been photographed with a lot of people, some perverts, many not.

(15,952 posts)Just because someone happens to be photographed with someone at a party doesn't mean they're bosom buddies, that they share common interests, or that they even actually know each other. Especially someone as high profile as Musk.
I can't stand the man, but I think we should stick with criticizing him for real reasons (of which there are plenty). Starting unsubstantiated rumors is tacky and not something I want to see Democrats associated with. What the "other side" does is irrelevant.

(7,802 posts)It looks like she's trying to sneak out a watermelon. Is that just how the fabric happened to drape at that particular moment?

(15,952 posts)I don't know the term for that sort of baggy bodice, but it's not flattering on anyone, imo.
Also, body shaming a woman, even a monster like her, honestly leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and I'm not down with it. She's a horrible person who did horrible things. Shame her for that. Who even cares how her clothes fit.
If someone wants to make fun of his chipmunk cheeks, otoh, I'm all in. Double standard? Yes, but I'm sure he doesn't care. With that kind of money, he could buy himself a whole new face if he wanted to instead of walking around with that ugly mug.
