An email dated March 16, 2017, from Jeffrey Epstein (using the alias Jeffrey E.) to Reid Hoffman and Joi Ito. Epstein suggests creating a massive donor-advised fund to support arts and science programs (like the NEA and climate science) facing budget cuts under the Trump administration. He draws parallels to how private wealth (referencing Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos) is taking over space exploration goals previously held by the government.
