Elon Musk has said an Axios report that the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had concluded there was no evidence of a Jeffrey Epstein client list was the “final straw”.
The report also said the agencies had concluded there was no credible evidence the disgraced financier and pedophile blackmailed high-profile and prominent individuals, and confirmed that surveillance footage showed Epstein had killed himself in prison.
“So… umm… then what is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for?” Musk posted to his X platform, referring to Epstein’s former girlfriend and associate who procured underage girls for him to abuse.
You can pick one of the 70 sources from this list, then: https://ground.news/article/jeffrey-epstein-had-no-client-list
Oh the list exists, of course. I’m not saying they’re making up things necessarily - just that they’re making “news articles” out of tweets and other low-effort so-called-journalism which wasn’t really the case a long time ago.
No need to single out Newsweek, then, as basically all publications opted for this sort of cheap content to inflate their pages…
Newsweek, given it’s history and the crass purchasing of the branding is especially egregious.
business insider, for example, can do what it wants and yeah it’s just regular terrible.
