Overview

  • On July 8, Elon Musk posted a meme comparing the arrest and killing of Peanut with the lack of charges in the Jeffrey Epstein client list, declaring the “government is deeply broken.”
  • The U.S. Department of Justice confirmed there is no evidence that Epstein kept a client list or that he was murdered in his jail cell.
  • Mark Longo sued state and local agencies in Chemung County Supreme Court over their seizure and euthanasia of his rescued squirrel and raccoon under New York wildlife laws.
  • Longo is urging Musk to support P’Nut’s Freedom Farm Animal Sanctuary and to help fund the ongoing legal challenge to his pets’ October 2024 euthanasia.
  • Musk’s social media clash with President Trump has intensified as he demands the release of Epstein files, further politicizing the Peanut controversy.
