Newly released emails and travel itineraries appear to show that for years after Jeffrey Epstein served time for procuring underage girls for prostitution, he continued to attend exclusive dinners alongside Silicon Valley’s most famous billionaires.

The emails, part of a trove released by the Department of Justice on Friday, show that as late as 2018, Epstein was invited to or attended dinners alongside the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and Google vice-president and later Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer.

Most of the events were staged by the Edge network, a creation of literary agent John Brockman, which offered a platform for public commentary by artists, technologists and intellectuals, along with “sumptuous dinners [and] exclusive conferences … for the rich, the smart, and the powerful”.

In 2018, the year before Epstein’s death, Brockman sent Epstein an email referencing “your friend in the Middle East” who was “coming to the US tomorrow and is reportedly going to buy 10% of Endeavor for $400m”. That year, the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, visited the US as the country’s sovereign wealth fund sought to invest $400m in the US talent and events company.

Fun fact: The net worth of the 40 guests at the 2014 ‘billionaires dinner’ was equal to combined wealth of 60% of all Americans.

4. All by design. They were being recruited even way back when.

The Project 2025 architects knew they would need the tech bros and made sure they got compromising material on them.

5. And bigots

Analyzing emails that Epstein’s estate turned over to the House Oversight Committee, the report digs into, for example, one 2016 email in which tech researcher and influencer Joscha Bach suggests that Black kids’ brains “are slower at learning high-level concepts” but adds that they maintain high motor skills that make them better adapted “to a more hunting/running style of life.”

In other emails, Bach tells Epstein that there are hardly any women in math because it “does not yield social attention,” that climate change might be “a good way of dealing with overpopulation” and that fascism, while discomforting to him personally, is “probably the most efficient and rationally stringent way of governance, if someone could pull it off in a sustainable way.”

6. There's a very sick culture permeating the heads of big tech sickos.
