Roughly six pages from more than 8,500 documents provided by Epstein’s estate to Democratic members on the House Oversight Committee include meeting schedules appearing to show appointments with Bannon and venture capitalist Peter Thiel during Donald Trump’s first term in office.

The documents also mention Musk joining a potential trip to Epstein’s island in 2014.

Prince Andrew also is listed in the documents as a passenger on Epstein’s aircraft, with financial disclosures provided to the committee suggesting evidence of payments from Epstein to an individual listed as “Andrew.”

His appointment with Bannon in 2019 was just months before Epstein was federally charged with trafficking and sexually abusing dozens of minors. Epstein pleaded not guilty and was found dead in a jail cell in New York in August 2019.

The thing with Bill Gates is, he was an absolute piece of shit while running Microsoft. Basically killing all the competitors and trying to kill open source projects.

The whole he's a good person look at what he is doing with his money, is just flawed. He shouldn't have that money in the first place. He definitely screwed over other people and companies to get that kind of money. If you think I don't care about companies, well the extra costs will just go to the consumer, so us.

Other companies are literally the requirement for breaking monopolies. Screwing them will kill off the smallest ones – that is, the ones most likely to not yet be exploitative behemoths – until only the biggest bullies remain.
