Elon Musk has shared a video of Donald Trump partying with the disgraced paedophile Jeffrey Epstein in 1992. Footage from a NBC broadcast shows the future president and Mr Epstein surrounded by dancing women, with Mr Trump gesturing to one and mouthing “she’s hot”. Mr Musk shared the clip on Thursday (5 June), after claiming that the president has not made Epstein files public because he features in them. The world’s most powerful men are currently embroiled in a public feud after the SpaceX billionaire criticised Mr Trump’s signature tax bill. Mr Musk has called for the president’s impeachment, whilst Mr Trump has threatened to cancel all of the Tesla owner’s government contracts.

    I remember an old black and white movie where one pirate saves another’s life.

    I can’t recall the exact line, but it was something like “I had to save you; you’re the only other person I’ve ever met who is as evil as I am.”

      Could be the 2003 Disney movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl? Not black & white though.

      It’s spoken by Captain Hector Barbossa (played by Geoffrey Rush) to Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) during a tense moment on the island. The full exchange is:

      Barbossa: “You’re a cruel one, Jack Sparrow. You’ve doomed us all!”
      Jack Sparrow: “Not all of us.”
      (Elizabeth then shoots Barbossa with a pistol.)
      Barbossa: “I had to shoot you, darling. It’s nothing personal. You’re just the only person I’ve ever met who is as evil as I am.”

      Could be the 1940 pirate film “The Sea Hawk”, starring Errol Flynn and Claude Rains.

      In one scene, the villainous Captain Thorpe (played by Claude Rains) says to the protagonist, Geoffrey Thorpe (Errol Flynn), something along the lines of:

      “I had to save you—you’re the only man I’ve ever met who’s as big a scoundrel as I am!”

      Another possibility is “Captain Blood” (1935), also starring Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone, where rival pirates exchange similar banter.

      Other options are:

      • “The Black Swan” (1942) (with Tyrone Power)
      • “The Buccaneer” (1938) (with Fredric March)
