Epstein invited Musk to hang out, saying there would be lots of interesting people coming over. Musk replied: The big rocket I'm about to launch is the most advanced in history. Going to your place just to see some diplomats from various countries is a ridiculously stupid waste of time. Epstein was shocked: Do you think I'm an idiot? This isn't a diplomatic gathering—everyone here is under 25 and super cute. But Musk still chose the big rocket.
