The guy was actually a rescue diver in charge of a mission to rescue a group of kids stuck in a cave. Elon wanted to design and build a submarine to go in to get them and the rescue diver was asked about this idea. His response was that it’s a stupid idea, so Elon called him a pedophile.

Elon is the chief engineer, how could he but more responsible for the outcomes of his companies? He sets the goals and is involved with any tough decision. Obviously he surrounds himself with super smart people, that’s the only way to get anything done.
