The fucked up part is there was probably a shit ton of people who were trying to go, knowing full well what happened there.
Not even just because they want to rape children. Just because it’s exclusive.
When you have that level of wealth, even 2011 Elmo level of wealth, your brain chases anything exclusive because you can buy anything else.
A secret cabal of world leaders into shit that would make their most feverent supporters disown them?
That’s like the most exclusive club in the world, and lots of people want to rub elbows regardless of activity. Or even just need something to try for, drawing them to any exclusive club like how Maxwell was a reddit powermod.
The other thing Epstein offered was connections to the other ultra-wealthy. He was basically a “socialite” who knew “everyone worth knowing” and could make introductions.
These ultra rich people have armies of personal assistants whose whole job is to keep the riff-raff away. Without someone like Epstein to introduce you, your attempts to contact some other rich dude are likely to be caught in this human spam filter.
Also, it seems like one “service” Epstein was providing to his other rich friends was to not introduce certain other people to them. It looks to me like Elon was one of the people who didn’t make the cut.
Yep I remember reading about this. Rich value exclusivity; upper-middle class value brand exhibition; poor value community/relationships (trends, not absolute).

I’m always partial to this comic from Alzward.
