If Elon has the list let him release it or STFU. Guy’s a lunatic.

Saying that he is “in the files” is pretty vague, and may well be true. Much different from saying that he had sex with underage girls, though.

It sounds like Elon wants to be embraced by the liberals again.

How Steve Bannon Made His Money
Steve Bannon accumulated his wealth through a combination of finance, media, and entertainment ventures:

Investment Banking: Bannon began his post-Navy career as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs. He later founded his own firm, Bannon & Co., which specialized in media deals. A significant portion of his wealth came from negotiating the sale of Castle Rock Entertainment (producer of Seinfeld) to Ted Turner. Instead of a full cash fee, Bannon accepted a stake in several TV shows, including Seinfeld, which generated substantial syndication royalties over the years.

Media and Film Production: Bannon produced and financed several films and documentaries in the 1990s and 2000s. He also served as executive chairman of Breitbart News, a far-right media outlet, which became a major platform for the alt-right in the U.S..

Consulting and Real Estate: Bannon ran a consulting firm, Bannon Strategic Advisors Inc., valued between $5 million and $25 million. He also held real estate rental properties worth approximately $10.5 million.

Other Ventures: Bannon was involved in projects such as Cambridge Analytica, a data analytics firm, and various online business ventures, including a controversial World of Warcraft “gold farming” operation in China.

Estimates of Bannon’s net worth range from $20 million to as high as $48 million.

Did Steve Bannon Ever Meet Jeffrey Epstein?
Yes, Steve Bannon did meet Jeffrey Epstein on multiple occasions:

Direct Meetings and Media Coaching: Bannon met with Epstein several times, particularly in 2018 and 2019. He reportedly recorded over 15 hours of interviews with Epstein and was accused of coaching Epstein for a potential “60 Minutes” interview that ultimately never aired. During these sessions, Bannon advised Epstein on how to present himself more sympathetically to the public.

Purpose of the Relationship: Bannon claimed his intent was to create a documentary exposing Epstein’s crimes and the elite circles that enabled him. However, some sources suggest Bannon may have also been interested in Epstein’s alleged intelligence connections and sought to help rehabilitate Epstein’s public image.

Confirmation from Multiple Sources: Reports from books, news outlets, and associates confirm that Bannon and Epstein were acquaintances and that Bannon visited Epstein’s Manhattan mansion. Bannon himself has acknowledged these interactions.

In summary, Steve Bannon made his fortune through investment banking (notably his stake in Seinfeld), media ventures, consulting, and real estate. He did meet Jeffrey Epstein and spent significant time with him, including recording interviews and offering media advice in the months before Epstein’s 2019 arrest and death.

Elon got a taste of power and decided he liked it. So don’t expect him to get better any time soon. The Left will make him promises and Twitter will go back to being the censorious cess pool it used to be.

Ay, por favor-no esta mierda otra vez. If the supposed “Epstein list” wasn’t probable fiction before, Elon Musk just made it so with another ridiculous assertion-his temper tantrum is getting further out there all the time...

Didn’t Bannon go spend hours with Epstein in his NYC apartment after the poop hit the fan? Was there ever any explanation for that?

Any article with a sentence like this in it immediately becomes suspect.

There's NO WAY that Elon would know this; he's just on a manic tear, trying to smear everyone and anyone in the Trump camp.

And yes, Bannon should sue Elon for a BILLION dollars, for defamation!

And I don't even like Bannon; however, this is just SO very wrong!

Agreed. Steve Bannon did news media for years, including being editor at Breitbart. That Bannon met Epstein or other newsworthy people is in of itself not news.

Elon has NEVER been "right in the head", in his entire life!

He's certifiable and belongs in an insane asylum!
