What like calling a first responder a pedophile?

Thats a major error in judgement. Even billionaires are capable of this

The man injected himself into an ongoing crisis he had little insight into, and when rejected, his ego was so hurt that he used his influence to accuse individuals he knew nothing about if pedophilia, all while they were in the midst of trying to rescue a dozen children from imminent death.
That’s not a “major error in judgement”. That’s the behavior of a completely deranged individual.

> completely deranged individual
That's quite a large exaggeration. I can think of some much much worse things that an actual "completely deranged individual" would do.
Musk was butthurt and lashed out. That does not equal "completely deranged individual"

Lashed out in a way where, given his influence, he could easily ruin the person's life. Which is bad in and of itself. But he did it while the man was actively involved in trying to save a dozen children from immediate death. And then doubled down later.
That is deranged.

When you have the kind of audience and pull he has, unless you are totally daft to it (which he shows no sign of) then yes it's very abusively deranged.

Doubling down is worse than error in judgement.

lmao the extent to which the tech crowd will defend all of his stupidity and let him get away with a slap on his wrist. He had a megalomaniac ego moment and called some of the greatest heroes to have ever existed pedophiles for being the only people capable of pulling of a rescue like that. One of them died in the rescue efforts. Musk is all the way up his own ass, and this needs to be acknowledged regardless of his supposed "genius".
