It’s not like Jeff Bezos had private dinners with Jeffrey Epstein or invited Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to his private, invitation only, weekend retreat at a private resort he rented out.

Oh wait, he did exactly that and probably a bunch more.

    I love how it says he’s the founder of AWS. Amazon (the online store) is basically a side business for him, AWS is the real cash cow.

      AWS is the real cash cow

      Significantly higher margins and bigger government contracts, particularly with state security services. So no surprise there.

      But Amazon, as a retail business venture, generates significant profits on its own. What’s more, it is gradually supplanting the USPS, which puts the business at the logistical center of a critical piece of US infrastructure. A classic “Too Big To Fail” setup that also guarantees Amazon a customer base indefinitely and lets them freeze out competitors as the USPS decays.

      AWS is a bigger funnel of money, but Amazon retail and wholesale is an enormous economic footprint with lots of downstream political consequences.

      And that cash cow also gives him lots of leverage to keep companies in line. Like if he wanted to prevent certain subjects or photos from going viral.

    Beginning to think that Jeffery Epstein was at the center of a massive financial and influence peddling network that reached into the highest levels of business and politics.

    Well, now that we know this picture exists, I’m sure someone will be doing something about it.

      When Epstein died I didn’t think much of it. What surprised me was lots of non-conspiracy theory friends were diving head first into the conspiracy. As the years have went by and more info leaked, yeah, there was definitely something big going on. We know Elon Musk lied numerous times about knowing Epstein and Maxwell, only to be proven by others testimony he did in fact know them, stayed at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion, probably meet with Maxwell for “kung fu” practice, etc.

      I even believe that the whole “pedo guy” incident with Musk was actually a coy attempt to keyword search flood “Elon Musk Pedo” with search results for that nonsense. We’ve seen other famous people do stuff like that to keyword bury topics, I’m sure Musk was aware of the technique. And he won the lawsuit because he was rich enough to fight a freedom of speech claim.

    One of the reddit dudes had a story about going to a party early on in reddit’s boom. Said Epstein was there and someone basically told him not to talk to him because everyone there at the party knew what he was and what he did.

    Everybody knew. Everybody knew what Diddy was up to. What Weinstein did. Everyone knew.

    Just fuckin shoot these people. Absolute trash humans

    And it’s worth pointing out that the photo of Ghislaine Maxwell and Elon Musk is everywhere but this photo of Bezos and Maxwell is much rarer to see.

    Reminder these people know full well the implications of such a photo, and will have done a lot to avoid such photos ever happening

    If you see one, there’s probably a thousand they avoided

    It’s a deliberate propaganda. On Instagram, I see posts that glaze the billionaires but hardly any posts that puts them on the bad light.

      Remember: there are no good billionaires. You don’t become a billionaire by being nice, fair or anything we associate with being a good person. Even those who inherited billions from their family are often fucked in the head (John du Pont of Foxcatcher fame) as a result of it. Not to mention being born into such a family instantly gives you access to opportunities none of us plebs could ever gain regardless of our merit. Bezos ex-wife is sort of ok since she is adamant about giving away the bulk of her fortune, however, she is still complicit in helping to create the monster that is Amazon, which ironically destroyed the very thing she proclaims to love (literature and book stores.)

      Treat them all as if they’re evil slime, the bulk are. That way you may be pleasantly surprised when you come across a “good” one like Scott.

    Might have something to do with running a train on some kiddos, but I dunno. Maybe he’s just self conscious of resembling a sentient penis.

        He’s a dweeb thats for sure. When he had an affair he called the slut he was banging his “alive girl” in text messages. Like wtf is that kind of nickname?

      Oh so Bezos and Epstein had a “I invite you to my private resort weekend party and you invite me to your private resort weekend party” thing going on?

      Would explain why Bezos has so many yachts, what with Epstein living on the secluded island.

        There’s a reason billionaires like yachts so much, and it’s not because they’re fond of the sea breeze.

        Yachts take them (and their victims) far, far away from prying eyes and into international waters, where legal jurisdiction is more limited and easier to obfuscate/avoid.

    Do you think he tried to crawl into her? Lubed up that little head of his Diddy style and then just pushed his dome against her orifice?

    I don’t really get what you mean. It’s very easy to find.

    It’s the fifth result if I search for “jeff bezos ghislaine maxwell” on Google images.
    There are also a bunch of others images with him and her and/or Epstein.

    And yet he is so overt about his penis fetish.

    Also certain AI say this is two images stitched together.

      Nope. Its a real and verified image. Perhaps the AI detector means I’ve supplemented the original photo with additional text in order to make it a meme. That much is true, the original photo doesn’t have text in Impact font floating above and below them.

        The photo is likely from around 2012-2016 IIRC. Around the same time the photo of Ghislaine Maxwell and Elon Musk was taken.
