Elon Musk defends attorney general after decision to release 'sickening' Jeffrey Epstein files
Tesla-CEO-turned-politician Elon Musk has come to the defense of the new US Attorney General, who released a catalog of Jeffrey Epstein files.
Yesterday (February 27), the convicted sex offender's contact list, as well as flight logs of all the people who flew out to his notorious private island, was released by Pam Bondi.
The list is not a 'client list' implicating any wrongdoing, as it just names those in Epstein's contacts.

However, among the list was that of President Donald Trump, who according to the flight logs was recorded as having taken three flights with 'JE' - Epstein - in 1993 and 1994, with 'GM' - presumably Ghislaine Maxwell - onboard the 1993 one.
Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger is in the book alongside the late 'King of pop', Michael Jackson, infamous 1990s rock singer Courtney Love, and actors Alec Baldwin, Ralph Fiennes and Dustin Hoffman.
Now, taking to Twitter, Musk has defended the job that Bondi is doing by replying to one user who claimed she is battling bosses in the Department of Justice and FBI.
"AG Pam Bondi is fighting a leftist culture within the DoJ and FBI. Give her a chance," the user wrote.
"She is not hiding anything, she is not covering up Epstein. She wants the info released. She knows her reputation is on the line.
"She needs to drop the hammer on FBI agents who are resisting."
Musk replied: "People don’t understand that you don’t get instant power here."
Before following it up with: "Imagine if you were suddenly appointed AG or head of the FBI.
"You were just thrown on a ship with a hostile crew.
"Until you appoint some new crew members and figure out the ropes, you can’t steer the ship effectively. It’s literally impossible."
Bondi may face a difficult task as Musk says, primarily because of the political polarization of the US with Democrats and Republicans seemingly being further apart on the political spectrum than ever before.
Although releasing a 200-page dossier on Epstein into the public domain will be a move overwhelmingly welcomed by both parties, with Bondi warning that the documents will 'make you sick'.
Of course, it includes his contact list and flight logs to his private island in US Virgin Islands, located in the Caribbean, as well as an 'evidence list' of items found at the sex offenders' homes in New York and the private island, and a completely redacted masseuse list - to protect the anonymity of victims - and his so-called 'black book' of contacts, also heavily redacted.
