Summary

The article argues that while Jeffrey Epstein is dead, his ideology of wealthy white male privilege and misogyny has spread to influential figures in business, politics, and tech. It examines how Epstein's connections with prominent 'contrarian' and 'anti-woke' figures like Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Larry Summers, Steve Bannon, and Donald Trump represent a continuation of his worldview that undermines the #MeToo movement's progress. The piece suggests Epstein strategically cultivated relationships with powerful men to propagate his ideology beyond his death.

He might be dead, but it sure seems like Jeffrey Epstein won.
He subscribed to a racist, misogynist ideology that meant rich white men like him could do whatever they liked.
Consider all the 'contrarians' and 'anti-woke' warriors who show up in the latest dump: Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Larry Summers, Steve Bannon, and of course, Donald Trump.
Jeffrey Epstein is dead. His ideas aren't — and he made sure to spread them to a lot of influential people before he died.
