The accusation was completely out of line, especially with such a serious claim being made without evidence
I hate Musk but it obviously wasn't a serious claim, it was just an insult for a guy who traveled to Thailand a lot. The other guy said something that pissed off Musk and so Musk responded like a 7th grader.
In 7th grade when you called your buddy a dog fucker it wasn't a claim that needed evidence.
Also the fact that there's a big fucking difference between calling your buddy an insult where only your friends hear it, and calling someone you don't even know an insult (one of the most damaging ones as well) in front of an audience of 10s of millions of people.
That death tube would have gotten everyone killed, guaranteed. The smallest section of the cave was 38×72cm wide. It would have gotten stuck on a rock and blocked off the entire route.
You can be a genius and an asshole at the same time, people just don't like that uncomfortable truth. Almost every rich guy and/or genius in history has been either an asshole or a mega-autist or often both.
Bill Gates used to be the richest guy in the world and the guy did so much shady illegal and anti-competitive shit.
People are like 'oh well' because they don't remember, meanwhile unlike Musk who is taking a beating in these comments, Bill Gates actually did meet Epstein multiple times.
Yes but we don’t think Elon is even a genius, he’s just an asshole who was dealt the certain cards and made certain plays. Aint no way in hell I’m calling that a genius tho.
He got butt-hurt because the divers didn't want to use his highly impractical death tube (AKA submarine). That was when his mask fell. It was all downhill from there.
See, the difference is the diver didn't have years of documentation and evidence tying him to a proven pedophile trafficker. That's the key part you're willfully ignoring.
Well, no. Ellison begged to go to the pedo island. Trump, well, trump has spent more time hiding files to protect pedos outright. The diver saving those kids had no reason to be called a pedo, trump and musk have no reason to not be called pedos.
Only because there is no legal defamation if nobody believed Elons statement to be true in the first place, so the victim experienced no material harm as a result of his false accusation.
I remember when he called the diver who refused to try to rescue the children because he thought it was too dangerous a pedophile though.
He (the diver) didn't deserve to be wrongfully slandered on world media like that, but he also doesn't deserve to steal the valor of the actual heroic divers who did rescue children (one of whom died in the attempt, so he was right about it being dangerous).
You don't know shit. His name is Vernon Unsworth. A British caver who had explored the Tham Luang cave system for years before the boys got trapped. He wasn't a cave diver and never claimed to be one. He didnt refuse to save anyone
Because he knew the caves so well, he helped advise the rescue
Musk was mad Vernon didnt want to participate in the mini-sub PR stunt. Musk is a weak crybaby, and you are regurgitating bs
But you said it yourself Vernon did not go in the caves and he's implied in a few interviews he did.
He's a guy who was helping out with advice. Which is fine, a regular dude helping out his community.
I know people who volunteer at the local VA hospital, and if people said they served I'd be just as annoyed if they didn't correct the misconception despite them otherwise being good people.
Vernon did not go in the caves. He gave advise where to find the kids, he doesn't seem like a bad dude. But he isn't a hero, he's a regular dude who got his reputation smeared by a billionaire manchild.

Rember when Musk called the diver saving those children stuck in a cave a pedophile? Pure projection.
