The ghost of Jeffrey Epstein is haunting the world's most powerful men

What do the most powerful man in the world, the wealthiest man in the world, and the most influential media baron in the world have in common?

Their destinies are all colliding with the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein.

These three men — Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch — are now locked in what may turn into a reputational death spiral, but until recently, the three have all helped each other in open and symbiotic relationships.

Musk pumped vast amounts of money into the re-election of Trump, being rewarded with extraordinary powers to slash US government spending.

and I am also hoping that at the very least, every pervert named in the Epstein files is shitting bricks on a daily basis. Yes INDEED.
