Yeah really complicated to understand why Musk would conclude that he went too far, really really complicated to see what's in his best interests....
As for Trump's a nonce....Well, considering the efforts the Democrats went to in destroying Trump I find this notion difficult to take seriously.
There's the argument that they refused to touch Trump with Epstein because so many of their own are involved and it's a conspiracy between both parties (intelligence agencies) but I don't buy that as I think there are ways they could have manipulated leaks to only focus on him.....But without a firm foundation it wouldn't pan out....just as Russiagate didn't.
What I will say though is that whoever was having sex with trafficked girls or minors (in my view 16 but different states have other ages) then that person....however powerful they may be must be brought to justice.
Whether that's a republican president, former democratic president or indeed anyone.
Without red lines trust continues to erode.
Personally I think evidence has been destroyed as per the usual intelligence playbook, alongside blackmail and gate keeping anyway.......If there is anything true that is significant you can only hope for leaks.
