It's not even "refusing to advance an agenda" because Epstein was just inviting Elon over for an obvious orgy. It's just failing a vibe check. It's like being invited up for coffee and going "Caffeine AT THIS HOUR? No thanks, I like to maintain a healthy circadian rythm." Just the biggest condescending doofus energy.

If it's any consolation I was once at a party where an attractive acquaintance is invited me to do body shots. She made out with me when I went to get the lemon out of her mouth and all I could think was "wow! How sweet of my friend to help me this much with getting the lemon into my mouth. She must think I was having a hard time of grabbing it."
It took me a few years to realize she was coming onto me

That is painful and I relate. I see you have no pronouns listed but this story certainly brings to mind memes about certain dating scenes being stymied for wont of waiting for one party to make a move... except in this case it sounds like your friend knew what she was about and our hero (you) wasn't ready to pick up on it. Like I said, relatable.

It's both actually. Elon's disdain for helping maintain the facade and help the network and his clueless, tactless inability to read between the lines and create a threatening situation.
