Despite his later denial, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg wanted to keep a line open to Jeffrey Epstein. Emails between the two suggest that the world of the Big Tech elite is less a back room of evil geniuses than rich dullards discussing goofy ideas.

But for anyone who is hoping they shed light on malevolent world-takeover plans or unspeakable crimes, it turns out what they reveal is something much more banal but no less concerning: a Big Tech elite that is more “oblivious rich guy” than “evil genius,” and that was easily impressed and charmed by a prolific sex criminal because he was able to project the illusion of brilliance.
